Sorry about that, I'll leave your new entry alone then. Next time you do something seemingly impossible, especially on tracks that aren't on TMX, make the replay available to me directly afterwards, via TMX (preferably) or direct link. Thanks.

Sorry for barging in, but even when a track is on tmx it usually won't allow me to upload my replay if it was driven online. And I have some lucky dedis of my own, that's why I save so many replays and check back here frequently.
I just want to avoid what nearly happened to banditzone and wish there was a way to get notified when your dedi gets deleted...

TMNF and TMU(F) replays can be uploaded, those tracks make up the majority of what's out there on servers.
Notification after record deletion doesn't help if the deletion then turns out to be unjust, as restoring recs is a hassle.
That's why, if players did something legitimate but really unusual on a track that could be considered cheating, they best post a direct link to the relevant replay here if it cannot be uploaded to TMX.

Besides, I'm already spending several hundred hours each year on this process, so if anything I want it to take less time, not more. In 99% of all cases, the cheating is clear anyway. I'm not feeling any consideration or kindness towards cheaters that are costing so much time to deal with already, that I'm even remotely inclined to provide a courtesy heads-up or somesuch.

I made a topic for that so you don't need to spam this thread.

But, if I understood that correctly, you want us to actually report our own WRs (as "strange & suspected records") when we can not upload them on tmx? I have never seen anyone doing that here :s
If it helps to reduce missunderstandings I will do that from now on.

That helps indeed, and thanks to sick_castrator for the reminder that there's already a suitable thread for that.

impossible time with those CPs

Not only that track but a dozen in total. Banned and all deleted, thanks.

impossible time but without cps.
He cheated this track too:

You forgot to read the reporting rules, especially #1.

He was already on my radar, banned and all deleted now.

Impossible times and sectors.

And a bunch more tracks. Banned and all deleted, thanks.

Hi, i would like to signal you a cheater... For me .ист«Luke (login:corsakoff_live) is a cheater who recreated an account.
Before this account, he was "Boss", who has been banned, and just after, arrived .ист«Luke, who has almost the same times...
He's playing only maps without cps, on a private server, from the 3 september 2012.
He plays since 4 months and did 524 dedis, with 183 dedis 1...
I think that when he's doing time too good, he's crashing his server, until having a time which is not suspect...
I talk you about that, because he put the tag of our team, and it's bad for our reputation...
Can you do something, like banning him, or saving his replays, to prove that it's really a cheater ?

His nick is now "MvP«Nero." so that's no longer your problem. I'll monitor the login but there's not much I can (or am willing) to do for now.

There's an impossible time on one of my maps. Could you pls delete it?

No, you cannot simply request deletion, you can only report and I will investigate.

Which I did with this login, and found many subtly and some obviously cheated entries among his records from the past two months. Housekeeping performed, thanks.

Leave out the author in future reports please, it's not needed and distracts.

Top 2 here are impossible times, I say impossible because if I look to there dedis it seems that they are not cheaters maybe some bug, however there is a cut on the map but that brings you not under the 12 seconds. There is a replay of 12.40 at the map at tmx. Link: http://tmnforever.tm-exchange.com/main. … 00637#auto

TMX is down now, so I can't check that replay. I watched an older, non-cutting 13.60 replay though. Seems like a design error (as usual) to leave open that option to cut.

e-thug wrote:

Hmm my m8 did now 12.03 with the cut I just reported anyway for investigation cus its pretty rare/coincidence that they both have 11.94 on a hard cut map..

The sector patterns for them are different, and with a cut all bets are off anyway.

Time impossible, but didnt find any other suspicious recorsd at the first view...so maybe glitch.

The track's author neglected to put it on TMX, and none of the servers where the Dedi top-30 were driven are still online, so I can't check that. Which server login still carries it?
