I posted this on CFM not long ago but since some people do not visit those forums I thought I would give it a chance here.

Why do you bother having a ranking of statistics regarding first ratios, cheese ratios etc. when it is commonly manipulated?

Constantly I see people round glitching, massaging and boosting their ratios unfairly. A lot of these people are 'top' players in this game.

Blah blah it's a mouse game, why so serious? I totally acknowledge this point but I enjoy the competitiveness and nothing being done to combat this, I find more hilarious. Does CFM do anything to remove cheats anymore? Can the glitch be fixed? Do we name and shame?

I do not know why previously disqualified players who hacked or cheated in some way where added back to the stat leaderboards a long time ago also. Could someone clarify why?

Yeah, trying, pointless. Why not lets all cheat.

I for one have never tried to massage my ratios, if only because I cannot for the life of me find their shoulders. Or, in fact, any muscle at all.

Neerva a dit :

You epitomise the senior concern regarding this matter.

On the contrary, I am far too young to qualify as a senior! Their concerns do not hold weight among the concerns of my youthful peers.

Although actually, I would argue that I epitomize the opposite of your senior concern as originally posted. I have never hacked, statpadded, or favoed, neither for my own personal gain nor that of any other player. Nor do I care about my ratios. Ergo, I have to say that I am not certain what you find worthy of criticism in my jest, or, for that matter, what you feel the senior concern is. Your target seems to have shifted drastically from "cheaters" to "humor-users." Unless you feel that anyone joking on the forums is by default a cheater? I urge you to rethink this notion if it has crossed your mind, my little murine friend! We jolly folk are but humble mice.

So upon checking the stat change leaderboard today I came across

Clwui - Rounds - 472

Cheese gathered - 884

Firsts - 798

Frisbyy - Rounds - 296

Cheese gathered - 396

Firsts - 240

There are countless more but I cannot be bothered to type all the information here.

Maybe someone can be bothered to PUT A STOP TO THIS!!!!!!!

There is not a big or active enough staff to deal with people who glitch rounds. People were removed on CFM for a while but their admin was unable to keep up with the numbers which is why they stopped and returned ranks to everyone, it also required a fair amount of effort from some TFM mods for a while too.

Since there is no real official leader board it makes no sense that the admin team would even care to make the effort, I suppose.

Keeping this game competitive is one way of keeping people playing which is obviously what they want so I thought the might care.

I am bewildered with the lack of interest in this topic and that no one in the know ie administration or moderation can give some information surrounding this widely abused issue.

Well here's my explanations to some of your questions.

There's a very miniscule amount of people who play Transformice competitively, since at least +99% of the entire player base plays the game casually. And pretty much most of the people who did play competitively for stats (in a legit way) have already quit or gave up playing competitively for stats due to round glitchers getting off scot-free. Lastly the issue of round glitching has pretty much gone out of hand for anything for it to be done about it (hence Sourdough giving up on the disqualification system). I'm probably wrong on this, but there has been no contribution to counteract round glitching on the developer's end, and there only has been through the efforts and coordination by Sourdough, staff members, and members of the community. To be honest, stopping round glitching is virtually a lost cause right now, and it will probably stay that way for the remainder of this games' life span.
