    How are screenshots trusted in tournys?

    I don't see how the method of turning in screenshots is reliable in a tournament. I would never turn one in, but I decided to mess around, in PAINT, not even Photoshop. I AAA'd Secret Zombie Room =D You can tell a little bit that it's messed up, but if I just got seven goods, copy-pasted, and changed the background, you couldn't tell at all. Has anybody ever been caught doing that?

      you would if photoshopping have to change everything pretty much if you got for example 7 goods, everything from %, score, total, best score, rank etc. doable, lengthy process. But what i want to know is how you would determine one persons AAA from another persons. They are going to look pretty much identical. Apart form credit count which is an easy switch. so yeah, i dont know the authentification process so shoot me if im missing something.

          Well, admins and such are really good at checking that. It would take a pretty damn good photoshop job to trick them. They also can check your level rank stats to see if the score is fake.

                  Also, people can check your levelrank.php and see what type of scores you get, and then compare that to what you are trying to pass off.

                  That and it's normally pretty easy to see when a picture has been altered.

                      I suppose credit count, percentage, and all that are true - it was just after 6 AM and I wasn't thinking about those things. Even if I could get away with it, I wouldn't send those in.. it would just be wrong.
