Re: Suspicious Scores thread (Formerly Hacked Scores)
people who are being accused simply don't realize how simple it is to truly solve the problem and satisfy everyone who is calling you out -- there's nothing wrong with people wanting to see proof of what you can do if you start suddenly coming out of the woodwork, nor is there anything wrong with people getting aggressive if you continue to deny/ignore requests.
as a person being accused, you have a right to explain your cause as to how you're getting scores, mentioning any sort of "skillboosts" (I air quote this as most cheaters pull the SM card) or extended practice - if nobody believes you, then you have to show them that you are actually doing as you said. sometimes, even video proof isn't sufficient (see: Anaru) -- thankfully, internal tools can help with that.
if you're willing to put forth the effort to show that you're a legitimate player, players will respect that. is it a serious deal? absolutely, to anyone who actually cares about their progress within the game.
in other words: anyone who is saying that people are being too serious, or anyone who is like "popcorn.gif" and isn't really contributing any sort of proof needs to just stop.
EDIT: I will always mention leonid in any sort of example that I do, because he's the one that blew the most people away in the shortest period - after he and I were duking it out in the top division of the Fire Kai tournament (a long time back), I snagged my only ever non-AAA rank 1, a blackflag on I Hate the 80s. Thinking that I was safe and gonna win that round, I got a bit arrogant and it bit me right in the ass, because he flagged it back. At that point, people were just outright saying that he was BS (including our very own Sprite-, haha). After the BS calls stacked, he started making videos, and he started doing so constantly.
if you can find a single person who thinks leonid is BS now, by all means, do so.
It's a testament to what proof can really do.
