The submissions system must be improved to instantly delete these kinds of "records" and instantly kick/ban the player. I guess this soiled the rewards list of numerous players for nothing.

Post by: Thorn on February 03, 2015, 01:13:42 pm
It's a moron on the internet, guys. It's really not something that should be this surprising. Flying Fox seems to have already taken care of the problem and cleaned up the mess, so a big thanks to her. EDIT: I'm now being told that SonicAD stopped by and ran a script behind the scenes too, so thanks all around.

I'm going to move this topic out of Leaderboard Disputes and pretend it was never there so that I don't have to issue a record number of tempbans. The rule about getting permission to post there doesn't stop applying because an idiot exists on the web. C'mon, I thought all of you were smarter than to let some dumbass make you all mentally deficient. :(

Okay, so I temporarily disabled submissions for now. When I get home tonight, I'm going to remove all of this moron's stats from the database directly. Do note that this will include around 100 stats submitted afterwards, so they'll need to be resubmitted. I'll post all the stats that need to be resubmitted after the database maintenance is finished.

Probably just some kid trying to be funny. Seriously who would think it's a good idea to submit BS stats in such a massive quantity? Better question is, who would find enjoyment in that? The people like this are the kind of people this community, and the world doesn't need.

He sure didn't do it to get ahead in the actual competition. More to get people really pissed over something that in the big picture doesn't mean much. I could imagine someone who gets a kick out of that; my imagination's dangerous like that. I don't think that this was just for kicks though. The translation of the original screen name (too far back for me to quote from here) suggests there was a grudge involved. Banned player "flower" comes to mind... but I'm just speculating.

How to respond? Yeah it's sad that we have people like this who choose to inflict damage on online communities, not only because it hurts us directly, but because these people aren't likely to start trying to act with kindness. But I don't think that justifies getting really pissed over it, that's just returning the hate and possibly mission accomplished for the other guy. I've recovered from the initial shock that someone actually did this, and all I have left to say about it is that it's sad. Ready to move on.

*snip*

Not to sound cynical, but this whole situation didn't really shock me at all. It was a little confusing at first, yes, but in the end I found it rather amusing. It drew some much-needed attention to the site for a little while, at least. :P And honestly, while I've never heard of someone submitting fake stats to such a large scale as this, it's probably been done before. The site's been around 11 years. tl;dr I don't see how this hurt us as a community much at all; anyone who's been around here long enough didn't take it seriously in the slightest.

Though Softspeak does have a point; this is most likely connected to some member that was banned and is trying to ban dodge. Unless the admins didn't bother with an IP ban, I don't know how they're getting in unless they found a workaround. There's also an abundance of salty kids running around lately, which may explain something :V

Proxies aren't exactly difficult to figure out; an IP ban doesn't fix this issue. We know who's doing it and we are taking steps to prevent it from happening again.

he either mad because the last account got banned, and he did that on Purpose to prove his point...AS A FEG

Something was wrong with the suspended stats processing script, but it seems to have figured out what it was supposed to do now. Sitewide points are back to normal.

thats good to hear, now people will compete with no BC status like 00:00:01
i talked with the guy who did that, he did it because he got kicked because 00:00:18 on Emerald Cost and the admins kicked him and he massaged them and they didnt forgive him (probably because REVENGE thingy, but still...)
Thanks for deleting all these BS records

Registration is re-enabled. I added some more blacklists for HTTP POST requests, which should help. If anyone gets an error page when attempting to submit a stat or post on the forums, please contact me on IRC and/or email: gerbilsoft@gerbilsoft.com (http://mailto:gerbilsoft@gerbilsoft.com) .
