List Official Featured Ghosts

Well, what happened was that this ghost was one of the many featured ghosts that Symantec beat in like late 2021/early 2022. At the time it remained featured, but after Symantec's cheating incident happened we ended up reviewing all of the 2nd places in the tracks he had features on once again. We were discussing updating the standards a little bit and during the reviews a year ago your ghost didn't make the cut, as it can be seen here: https://community.freeriderhd.com/threads/official-featured-ghosts.6336/page-457#post-326324. We could review it again in a future update, but this isn't exactly a mistake, it was actually something that was discussed. This ghost, alongside 70 others didn't make the cut. It's a great ghost, though. I feel like if you just can clean up the 3 deaths or close to that it should be a feature.

 

Well, he was involved in the biggest "cheating scandal" we had on this thread so far. He came up around the same time as RadiumRC, just some months after Cerasium started to dominate. He was formerly known as Alex-P. He started to get really good and beat some insane tracks (like Rotate III without dying) so we eventually got suspicious. But he actually livestreamed some of those runs, so it was really hard to tell if he was legit or not. He ended up admitting to cheat in 3 ghosts (in 2 different tracks) but we couldn't believe he didn't cheat in some others at least. We know he's good, but we need some proof for all of the other ghosts. He was very upset with the whole thing and allegedly broke his fingers at the time, so he refused to show proof of the other ghosts. So we ended up deleting all of his featured ghosts and reviewing all of the 2nd places in the tracks he had features on. This situation dragged on forums for months and months of trying to reach him, then deleting all of his ghosts, reviewing hundreds of ghosts and then deciding which ones would be featured again. I guess that maybe besides the ORG, it was the most stressful thing I had to handle regarding ghosting here, haha. At the time, he got over 110 features (over 170 if we count the ones he was supposed to have when we he admitted he was cheating), so it was something big. He had won like the ghosting awards for like 3 straight months, so we had to redo those as well. Pretty annoying. We had to remove all of his records and awards as well. His ban has expired at this point, so he's allowed to attempt to go back to the list if he shows proof of his ghosts (I have seen some videos of him ghosting showing his hands and the screen without any scripts running and I can tell that he's good, so maybe he can come back one day). He does have a few unverified ghosts, where he beat suggestions that were considered a feature or that we ended up seeing the suggestions and agreeing that it should be a feature if it's legitimate. He said he doesn't really have plans to fully go back to the game, but if he does, he said he'll provide the videos this time. Let's see what happens.

Here's a few posts to understand more what happened:
