    Hey all, looks like this guy isn't bored enough yet so he is still at it. Will add some better reporting so we can take quicker action and reduce the chance that we miss some.

    Unfortunately players like this, for whatever their motive is, serves as a distraction to us developers and unfortunately may place silly restrictions like having to verify your account before being visible on a global leaderboard.

    Is it one guy with all these accounts? If it is, is there a way you could ban their IP address so they are unable to keep doing this?
    I think their motive is simply to be a troll, knowing they are wasting the devs' time, and getting attention from everyone who complains about it in the comments of tracks. I hope you can figure out something that can be done to better prevent this in future. Thanks for all you guys do.

    Yes, I believe it is just one guy or gal. He/she is using a proxy server (ip addresses change).

    We have pretty good systems in place, we just haven't automated action at this point which is why it is visible until we can verify and take action. Next step is to automate and put in some additional measures, all that takes time and takes away from visible feature dev.

    It's unfortunate, but I hope you guys can figure something out without it getting in the way of further development too much. I also hope people will stop reacting to it in the comments, so that maybe the hacker would get bored as a result of not getting attention, and quit.
