I thought we were keeping these all-time highscores, but were just unable to compete for boss of the month with these games?
I lost about 15-20 all-times so far because of this update  |

I lost 5 all-times and cannot understand why Doomed (no glitches,took me nearly 2 hours to get and i can provide video proof if needed) and Lightning Pool 2 (same story with this one) have been removed.
I can't remember what other 3 have been removed of mine.....

Yesterday, after having spend a lot of time dealing with various cheating issues, I decided that we were just going to have to get tougher and close some additional vulnerabilities related to the scoring.
I'm not too happy about it myself, and if you aren't either you can blame it on the fun-killing cheaters. 
Again we are trying to make lemonade from these lemons by at least improving the site score security, to make things more fair, even if it means less games available that are eligible.
More game exclusions: IBPV1 type-scores and some other low-tech score types are no longer contributing to BOTM or All-Time Boss or any contests. There are a few more exclusions coming soon as well.
All-Time Boss: The exclusions were extended to All-Time Boss in order to make everything consistent and as secure as possible.
To help players, there is a new page which lists all games which are valid for contests and trophies. You can find this link on the prizes page, or here...

Alright, fair enough. Thanks for answering my question.
I did notice that a lot of the games that were removed from the competition were older games and games that some scores seemed impossible on.
This sucks because I am good at a lot of those games that were closed off from the competition, and I lost over 1/4 of my all-time high scores, but I'm sure I can make it back in the future, I just need to get used to some of these newer games.
Hopefully this will make all competition legit.
Thanks for the update,
- Eddie |

My profile shows me as having 0 first place all-times but I still have the all-time on Commander Keen. Is Commander Keen one of those games? I've never seen a glitch in that game.

Since certain people are the contributing problem to cheating I think a list of them should be made public. As long as they stay hidden in the shadows they have nothing to fear. If they were in the open they'd be ostracized and eventually driven from the site. Honest people here are the ones being punished because others aren't capable of playing the games honestly.
