[QUOTE="invitro, post: 200869, member: 446"] I've finally looked at all the Top 10 scores for more usernames & scores that should be blocked. I've blocked two usernames and three scores: User 'klitschko' has these scores (note: "DATE" is approximate date of when score was recorded; the actual date is usually within this date and a week prior but may be up to a month prior; "ORANK" is the score's original rank): [code] # ID TABLE | RANK | SCORE | DATE | ORANK | USERNAME | # 51 PotO | 1 | 1,399,999,999 | 2015-02-20 | 1 | klitschko | # 9 Gorgar | 2 | 999,999,999 | 2015-02-20 | 2 | klitschko | # 52 PZone | 12 | 999,999,999 | 2015-02-20 | 10 | klitschko | # 7 FH | 12 | 999,999,999 | 2015-02-20 | 12 | klitschko | # 24 CC | 14 | 999,999,999 | 2015-01-17 | 12 | klitschko | # 12 HD3E | 92 | 999,999,999 | 2015-02-20 | 88 | klitschko | # 45 HS | 9644 | 1,468,800 | 2015-03-27 | 9609 | klitschko | [/code] That is more than enough evidence to block him. Next, these scores are high enough to be blocked: Theater => { Tanico => 14_078_474_451_920, # added 2015-04-01 }, BigShot => { perseus2273 => 193_278_500, # added 2015-04-01 }, Genie => { HOIDA => 739_001_170, # added 2015-04-01 }, I don't know if these are hacks or glitches. Tanico and HOIDA have no other top-20,000 scores. perseus2273 has 22 other top-1000 scores (2 in top 20, 7 more top 500) but that Big Shot score is just too high. Next, Starship Troopers has two strange scores (now, "DATE" = exact date I grabbed the score; "1ST-DATE" = same as "DATE" above; "RANK-COUNT" = # of scores in top 10/100/1000/10,000): [code] TRUE RANK USERNAME | SCORE | DATE | 1ST-DATE | RANK-COUNT | BAD 1 1 innomines | 19,999,999,990 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 1/1/5/8 | 2 2 Neronatusest | 9,999,999,990 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 1/1/13/32 | 3 3 Space Tractor | 6,566,673,410 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-03-14 | 28/47/55/56 | 4 4 _Mad | 2,252,511,400 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-12 | 2/6/24/47 | 5 5 bigdadwizard | 1,203,034,960 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 1/1/1/8 | - 6 FailSight | [1,183,600,910] | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 13/13/14/15 | hacker! 6 7 Pop | 986,178,120 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 1/2/7/16 | 7 8 Sun Vulcan | 833,481,070 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 2/11/43/53 | 8 9 Vic Golf Chad | 782,292,710 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 2/18/51/55 | 9 10 TYH | 761,001,970 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 1/1/12/24 | 10 11 Toolinit | 739,135,830 | 2015-04-01 | 2015-02-02 | 18/54/56/56 | [/code] I haven't blocked them yet. I posted about them on the STroop forum. My guess would be that they are due to a ROM or TPA glitch/bug but I have no idea. Now to Mr. Miwurdz' favorite, username 'www.vpforum.org's STTNG score of 1,890,199,057,550. [B] I am finally going to block this user.[/B] Here are pros and cons to the legitimacy of this score: pro: This user has 17 other top-100 scores. Perhaps all are hacks! Who knows? pro: The score is less than twice as big as Mr. Miwurdz' #2 score. con: I'm already blocking one of this user's scores: his #1 71,200,687,840 on BK2K. con: He put up nine of his top-12 scores in a 4-day span between 2014-10-03 and 2014-10-07.
