UPDATE:
Hey, guys. What's up? It'll take several steps to handle this whole ShamatoZ situation, but let's go with Step 1.
STEP 1 - Removal of ShamatoZ's achievements in the Official Featured Ghosts thread
Even though ShamatoZ claims to have cheated on the game only since April 29th, 2022, we are removing all of their features, ghosting medals and achievements, just like we did with Symantec, especially since this period mentioned by ShamatoZ covers almost all relevant ghosting achievements ShamatoZ had, especially on forums. So here's what will be done:
- The last 23 features by ShamatoZ were not updated yet on the list, so we'll keep it that way and maintain those features with their previous owners. We'll delete those ghosts from ShamatoZ as well.
- The 27 remaining featured ghosts from ShamatoZ will also be deleted. If the 2nd place was a featured ghost before or beat a previous featured ghost, it'll be featured. If it wasn't, we might review it later.
- ShamatoZ will be losing the Legendary Ghoster medal.
- ShamatoZ will be having their peak of features and other records removed from the official lists and posts.
This is step 1. The next steps will be discussed later and will have to do with the Top 100 list, Ghosting Awards, possible bans and discussions about proof requirements in the future. See you guys later.
PS: Right now ShamatoZ is banned on forums, but we didn't decide yet if it's permanent or not.
