Stephen, please do expunge MegaCheats and all his stats. And if their IP address corresponds to anyone else's, expunge all their records as well. As much as we don't need to spend our time wondering who is cheating, we certainly don't need to spend any time competing with cheats. Crippled minds and stunted hearts should find their own games and play against their own kind in other games. I will stop now, lest I name them.

Wonder if the IP addresses could be blocked for good from Puzzle Baron. Not even sure how those addresses work. Can you just get another computer and start all over again?

Just out of curiosity, I've been tracking games-played vs high-score cummulative records of the top players to get a better understanding of Prime-Suspect-Number-One's impact. Yesterday PSNO's alter ego played 32 games and Megaword lost 5 high-score records. (64,722-64,717) Somewhat outrageous for a player to beat Megaword 5 times out of a total of 32 games played! Especially a player with a 62.5 % win ratio. (Out of 32 games played, he added 20 high scores to his record: 20/32=62.5 %)

And that doesn't even include the losses others suffered who he likely can't beat playing without assistance.

As for MegaCheats, it would be interestng to see if his/her IP address came from a current player. Hope Stephen posts what he finds if he pursues that angle.

MegaCheats. You gotta love that screen name. No pretension at all. "Yeah I cheat. What are going to do about it?". Remember several years ago there was Cheatswithjavascript. No attempt to hide their cheating.

That's great. Thanks. About adding nage to the word list . . . (Just kidding)

Would that bot have been banned if its username wasn't so obvious?
