Resolution Options

Confirmed Cheat

Mark the score as verified cheating. The score may be removed from the leaderboard depending on your configuration.

Use this when:

  • The score is obviously impossible
  • The player is a known cheater
  • You have evidence of cheating

False Positive

Mark the score as legitimate. The flag is cleared and the score remains on the leaderboard.

Use this when:

  • The score is high but achievable
  • You know the player is legitimate
  • The detection was overly aggressive

Dismissed

Acknowledge the flag without taking action. The score remains on the leaderboard.

Use this when:

  • You're unsure if it's cheating
  • You want to monitor the player before deciding
  • The flag is borderline

Anti-Cheat Tips

Set Realistic Expectations

Think about what scores are realistically achievable in your game. If your game has a natural maximum score, extremely high scores are easier to identify as cheats.

Monitor New Players

Pay attention to flags from players with very few scores. A new player immediately topping the leaderboard can be suspicious.

Review Regularly

Check your flagged scores regularly, especially after launch. Early cheaters can discourage legitimate players from competing.

Community Reports

If players report suspected cheaters on Discord or social media, cross-reference with your flagged scores to investigate.

See the Anti-Cheat reference for more details on how the anti-cheat system works.
