Cheater

[Xymph]

so u can't do nothing??u say that my account is ''doomed''?

I didn't say that, I just said your login was found on more than a few tracks to have records that appeared to be cheated. The scans aren't perfect so I often examine the track itself to see whether a given time is feasible, and don't ban when a login cheats just a few times. But if it happened more often, as was the case for your login, then a Dedimania ban is the usual result.

so u are saying me that i gave 39dollars for nothing...

That has nothing to do with it, how you spend your money is entirely your responsibility, as is what you do with your purchase. But certain uses (i.e. cheating) can have consequences. And even this consequence is of limited range, as I'm sure there are plenty servers that don't use the Dedimania blacklist (yet) and you can continue to play there.

And as for not using TMU to cheat, there are over two dozen United logins in the blacklist, so there are actually quite a few players who thought they could away with spoiling things for other players. The vast majority (currently 340+) however use Nations logins, sometimes clearly made to be disposed of once detected, which is rather childish.

erm..... 7 pages of cheaters?!

Is this suppossed to be somekind of joke?

If the exploits for the game are out there why doesn't nadeo track them down and destroy them as this is getting out of hand, its ruining any enjoyment in the game and its getting boring now seeing people hit 15 secs on a 35-40sec maps.

Is a racing game! Why cheat? Why WANT to cheat? what are you actually aiming to gain? LP? you'll get caught before you can even achieve anything.

I'm beginning to slide away from TrackMania recently, only online to maintain our servers but see myself playing more simulator games like flight sim now.

Nadeo doesn't have the resources to get hold of them, that's why we're checking dedimania recs in order to blacklist that scum.

Nobody can tell what these people actually want to achieve. There's no use to ask questions like these, as there are always some gits who act like immature, spoilt children ; those who dont want to obey rules, those who don't really know what they actually want and those who don't care about other gamers.

Yup, flight sim rocks .

Nope, not just cheater reports, also related discussions. Which you would have known if you had actually browsed through them.

You would have known it isn't, if you had actually...

Tell me about it. But posts such as these aren't helping. Reports of tracks with cheated Dedimania records would.

I'm sure the cheaters are shivering in their boots now.

So,you can't do nothing right?
You can not unblack/unban me from the dedi black/banlist??
Please it is not my fault..i told you..i am going to some internet placies and i think that my account is stored there..and someone may cheated with my account.
Please i am beging you,please unblack me,because it is an united account and i am a very good tech player and i get dedi's at good maps and they aren't stored.
p.s sorry i couldn't answer earlier because i was off [vacations].

[Xymph]

Please it is not my fault..i told you..i am going to some internet placies and i think that my account is stored there..and someone may cheated with my account.

Sorry, but that's nonsense.

Anyway, read this thread for my and other people's stance on this.

[xtonythefakerx]

ok sorry about cheating..
It wasn't my fault..
And after this i am <<out>> of tm.
I got seek cuz i gaved 30 euros and took 80k LP and someguyz Banned me cuz i made some cheats which i am regrating.that's all i have to say,Good luck all with ur lives..
Xymph,tnx dude for not unbaning me..GL to you.u all should get a life.

[Xymph]

Sure... whatever, kid.
I'm providing a service by trying to keep the Dedimania world records database (itself also a free service) as unpolluted from cheated entries as possible. It's the cheaters that should get a life. And the kid that built the cheats is wasting a possible programming talent instead of doing something useful and meaningful with it.


Oh well, this is just as good a time as any to supply a fresh report of banned/blacklisted logins since Aug 3:

mr_pro, yavuz60, 8anos.th3.loos3r, alexi_tmuf, geogames, robin_897, themike98, siema11, nitro2354, miltos123, ecnadnax, schneeweisschen, sdfklfjalskfjksladkjfkldj, tomdeplayer, lenoxenery, babameca, freaktohell, luckystryke, michi270893, pacmen, hallelulja12, cheater9000, dydada

And those that are one more cheat away from the same fate:

rubinho_10_, adegia, musta_bol, casta1, kimmelstang, yenisar32, ale996, bonslolo, jokkedude, playfreak, tony1000aaa, michael_shumi_4_ever, valjevac, scorpion_12, xl3oebies, raymost, dede1010, themaky, sven373, johann1312

[FoxShadow]

...
And after this i am <<out>> of tm.

How you can go <<out>> if you never was IN ? because I think cheaters never are IN the game, they don´t want learn to play, don´t want be better itselfs, etc.
Bye and good luck!


And Xymph, thanks for all your unpaid efford to keep these cheater off.

I wanted to make a comment on a track called "Very Short 04" by tx_prAHA. The times that are written in dedimania are between 6.00 and 6.04 but that track has two cuts that are possible to be done pretty easily, so some players managed to do below 6 and one of them managed to finish with a time of 3.85 seconds! I hope the ones that scan the dedimania db (slig & Xymph i guess) won't consider it as cheat because it's a shame some players to be added in the dedi bl for such a reason. Generally, tracks like this one ( Very Short 04 ) shouldn't be created.

Yeah, its author time is 8.79 secs, so that was a bad time. Tracks with an author time under 8 secs shouldn't be sent to Dedimania, but I doubt all controllers respect that requirement, and it wouldn't have helped in this case anyway.

However, as per the Dedimania API any finish times under 6 secs are ignored altogether, that's why you won't see these 3.8x and higher times in the database at all, for this track nor any other. Thus there's no chance that they'll turn up in my scans as suspected cheats either, so no worries.

I doubt anyone would try to blacklist them without knowing the track. As you can see here, these times are "legal" and unhacked.

I don't think praha will read that.

Yeah, I frequently check the actual tracks, and the fastest replay for them if available, before suspecting a fast record is cheated. But that's why it's frustrating that only a bit over 50% of all tracks known to Dedimania have been uploaded to TMX and/or ShareMania. That makes it harder to investigate suspicious times, and it's disappointing that so many track builders didn't make their tracks properly available.

Even then, one or two (probably-)cheated records still don't result in a Dedimania ban, just to avoid mistakes based on tracks that cannot be verified.

His mistake. But not nearly as big a mistake as building a 8+ second track that can be finished in less than 4. Sheesh.

Proof that :x

Cheaters from my blist and not present in dedimania_blacklist:

It's only warning. Be careful with this logins. I don't have logs, because cheated times was not on my srv.
