Cannot view it, as "Track start positions don't match"
Anyways, that's the way to go! Instead of sending replays to the devs, post them on the official charts so you can take pride in being banned from uploading there ever again.
It has just been removed. Me being the evil person I am, anyone who cheats should have their whole account banned from online races, like so many other games do if you're caught cheating.
Mmm, ya, i'd need you to go ahead and stop posting this. M'kay ?
That'd be greeaaaaat.
This has already been reported to the devs and we'd appreciate if you'd
send such information to a forum moderator instead (via PM) or to the
devs directly instead of publicly like this.
Kinda narrowsighted for a moderator I think. However I don't agree at all. As someone wise said, "you cannot base security on the base that no one knows about it". Another wise man said, in jurassic park, that "life will find a way".
We all have the right to know what's going on in our community. Only then can we all help out to prevent this from happening. And it also puts pressure on the devs to prevent it from happening.
Ofcourse I'm not expecting or wanting details. But we have to be enlighted of the current dangers.
If the hole is now fixed then I hardly see how keeping it a secret helps anyone, I am just curious and as a programmer would like to learn of how holes were missed so that it can be avoided in the future.
Yet, apparently we may speak freely about wrecking, and any ensuing flamewars are not dealt with in a timely fashion, but when a cheat is mentioned you make a point of telling us to not talk about it?
That is wrong on so many levels. And don't even start about it being dangerous to the online experience, because it isn't. Nobody gives a flying f*** about clearly cheated hotlaps, and the whole LFSW site is monitored for just these kinds of things. If something like this is spotted, then there's an investigation into what caused it to work, and subsequently gets patched quickly, and any abusers get their license revoked.
Last time I checked this forum was not run by the chinese or US governments... Censorship does not belong here.
Cersorship can belong here as long as the people who run it want it to be here. This is not an open forum, but an owned forum where people can control the things we are allowed to talk about. There is no such thing as free speech.
If you don't like it (and this isn't actually directed towards any one) then don't visit/post here.
I have no problem with them moderating these forums... I will even actively participate in any cover-up that is for the benefit of the community or LFS in general.
However, a thread informing people of a cheat is no risk to the community especially when that cheat was discovered from an uploaded hotlap (which is publically available). Secondly, if they want to censor talk about cheats, they should delete the threads. If they leave them on here, then there's no purpose in trying to shut us up. If they can't delete threads, then the people who run this forum apparantly don't want any censorship by mods.
Fonnybone said they don't encourage cheats, just like they don't encourage wrecking. Yet threads about wreckers are left alone, and threads about cheats are always met with the standard "shut up about it" post. That's a double standard.
