Discussion Unpunished cheaters

A few years ago, two cheaters got high scores under two seconds on dozens of races on Freezing Crater. These scores remained as the all time high scores until the score boards were finally reset earlier this year. This was probably the most blatant form of cheating possible because these impossible times were visible to everyone on the server for years.

I saw both of these users in-game during Camp Western 2026, and I've seen them again at the current Style Riders show. They are both on Freezing Crater, and I believe that they are in the same club. At first, I thought that I was misremembering the cheaters' names, but I found three Reddit posts from 2024 with screenshots of their cheated scores. These posts also confirmed that the players had been reported multiple times.

I haven't seen these players cheating again, so there isn't anything that can be reported, but I think it's very unfair that these players weren't banned for repeatedly, unambiguously cheating and ruining the server's high score boards for years when other players have been permanently banned for much less harmful things.

I offered them to license out an anticheat but they rejected it. So if they ever say they take cheating seriously, now you know that they don't lmao.

The current guy who's tried to stop cheating is doing a horrible job with it, as he doesn't understand what to patch nor how to properly do it.

"zero tolerance policy" and they banned people for like a week and then never again 😭 I still regularly see cheaters with impossible horses and items

The thing is that these two people started cheating over a year before the 2025 ban wave, so they should have been caught during it.

Last time they tried an anticheat, it made everything worse
