Some of my Dedimania Records got deleted?! I want answers.
I'm not sure if I should have made a new topic about this, but it came to my attention that some of my dedimania records got deleted for some reason and I have no idea who to contact about this. Most people told me to contact the forum here, so here I am.
So here are some examples;
My legit time uploaded on TMX; https://tmnf.exchange/trackshow/3087455
My 28.61 is however deleted on TM Dedimania page; http://dedimania.net/tmstats/?do=stat&a … ow=RECORDS
Another example;
My legit 27.20 uploaded on TMX; https://tmnf.exchange/trackshow/2898982
My 27.20 deleted on TM Dedimania page; http://dedimania.net/tmstats/?do=stat&a … ow=RECORDS
Another example;
My legit driven 23.76 uploaded on TMX; https://tmnf.exchange/trackshow/2486945
My 23.76 deleted on TM Dedimania page; http://dedimania.net/tmstats/?do=stat&a … ow=RECORDS
I can go on with examples, but I think I have made myself clear.
It makes me angry and sad that after spending over 10 years in this game it is apparently possible to lose legit driven dedimania records where you've worked so hard for.
I'm here to post this because I want all my Dedimania Records to be restored. At this point I however have no idea how many records this is. I also think it's scary that legit driven records can be deleted, because I'm sure I'm not the only player to who this has happend to. Why did some of my records got deleted in the first place? Am I considered to be cheater? Are you guys just deleting everything what is flagged my random players? I would like to have some answers.
Cheers,
Bex

Login antrobex is not on the warning/cheaters list. Specific entries were not singled out.
Would could have happened is that three (or more) identical nicknames made entries to spam the track list - typically as a joke, but it's not funny - and a script (written a few years after that topic) automatically kills all but the fastest of such identically named entries. Thus on other tracks, other logins' entries with that same nick were deleted - that is usually distributed evenly between logins. It creates new breathing room on the tracks, which shouldn't be monopolized by the same nick.
To keep your own unique records, keep your own unique nickname.

Re: Some of my Dedimania Records got deleted?! I want answers.
I agree it's not funny and I can't recall this happening in my case. In other words you're telling me that in theory I can create fake accounts, copy a great player's nickname, like for example KarjeN his, spam the dedimania records and get his records to be deleted. Copying a nickname is fairly easy in TrackMania with the xaseco metastats page. You're telling me the fastest driven time will stay, but you're also telling me that, and I quote; "Thus on other tracks, other logins' entries with that same nick were deleted - that is usually distributed evenly between logins". This is basically telling me that in theory times driven by, for example KarjeN, can actually be deleted on other tracks? If this is correct I should consider to rewrite the script because this is just mental.
Also, I quote again; "To keep your own unique records, keep your own unique nickname". This sentence seems quite aggressive to me. As if I can do anything about it if players use my nickname? Like I said before; Copying a nickname is fairly easy in this game and should not be an indicator to the Dedimania Records. I'd rather focus on IP-adress or logins then nicknames.
Is it possible to restore my LEGITIMATE DRIVEN RECORDS? I think it at least should be possible. Because I feel like mine we're unfairly deleted and my nickname should be restored in honour.
