I don't think I ever spent 4h+ to try and find proof for cheating... there goes the evening.

Did that regularly (on multiple logins) 10-15 years ago when every day there were several, or a dozen, cheaters active. Fortunately those bad times are far behind...

_shivapx banned and all top-5 entries deleted, thanks.

Hello, good afternoon, I don't understand why I'm banned, but if I'm being banned because I installed a Trackmania United app with a hack about 5 or 6 years ago, where I only played 3 tracks and I found the way the game behaved strange and I uninstalled it because on the dirt track the car flew like a bird. (and yes, the best time but with that I don't even have the energy) but I've always admitted it without hesitation, besides I don't need those things to have fun!!! I've been playing this game with the same account for almost 10 years, I don't have any problems with anyone or anything. I don't use cheats and I don't like those who do... I ask you to please review my situation, please!!! But what do I need to do to get me unbanned? (An old man who likes the excitement of playing with great friends) Regards Shiva

Same guy with 2 impossible #1 records.

Two seconds faster than dedi2. After trying for a while I highly doubt cutting through the spiral is possible as the road is covered by palms and regardless it feels unlikely from someone with only two dedis.
It was probably achieved by cheating the grip on the grass terrain before the spiral.

dedi was just testing an online database exploit related to kackiest kacky several months ago, not looking to get him banned just record removed. the time was driven on a different map as well, i assume with the same map uid.

Latest one that I know he cheated on. Also prev accounts were he cheated:

not a cheater per-se, more of a record spammer here:

logins: papy99, gtx599, papy57, dha57, liege998, wcup484, unepausecafe2, unepausecafe, kb357, vicool, wb_xyz.
uids: too many to list, im afraid. also worth mentioning that they are driven both in rounds and in timeattack.

some of the more recent examples include yT6HEwkhIJ0efYyez7r0QpfGJ2b, Qjejocvu8VNVMQUqAYmdf9I09v7 and XK43GpQg9mOkfNIi_ymHOBo6A95 (all driven yesterday). in fact, going as far back as 2016/17, this behaviour can already be noticed, e.g.: wzWSKk6T3taGx2OJfGET6HuPahi and 8DSy7R7OzCVxuQyZiPo_b48G_88.

thought that ought to be reported after seeing this thread and this one.

edit: after a quick check, it appears logins slowplayer56, liege996, kw505, adh52 and kwup55 could also be related to this, as seen on 3Dun8q3n1akaG5S4Sp8m56yGBk8 and 1TWxuQwl5n0cetlaYptULeXvCzh.

in total, thats over 100k entries presumably driven by one person (not taking into account the logins where the nickname is different). probably one of the reasons for abnormal inflation of the coast records amount as seen here.

recently, the everpresence of that user in dedimania was questioned in a tmuf-related discord server. one of the replies stated: "iirc he drives a ton of times on various accounts because dedimania used to have a  rule that in order to keep the database smaller maps without full 30 records have their times stored only temporarily, and the less replays there are the less time it takes to trigger the purge". sounds like one way to abuse the system, if you ask me.
