This. I was permabanned as damanwithdaskillz for using arrow slow down to AAA One Minute Waltz, then they unblacklisted me, and I was so mad at losing my scores I did the stupid and made mad forum drama until they would restore my scores (I was also a stupid 14 year old kid or something like that). I was permabanned for years on end, making around 8 alts, that regardless of cheating or legit, I got banned for because they were my alts. I actually had to sneak back on as stavie and play legit for years to reclaim any ounce of dignity or respect I ever (or never) had. It's really just not worth it.

I feel bad for Haku too, because slow arrow was a vague way of cheating back in the day. Yeah it was cheating, but I stumbled across it by accident when trying to clear files to get rid of lag, and just went with it for that day and got tons of absurd scores. I didn't know it was cheating or would get me blacklisted, even though I knew it wasn't legit. The point is don't get any scores you know you aren't getting the right way, because they will find out, and they will hunt you down.
