Ok, I've never seen or heard about this before. Make sure to get a screenshot if it happens again.

I've had scores not logged only a few times. It's annoying enough, but it hasn't been a big problem. If it continues to happen often you should notify the site admin by email.

No placement in competitions

Hi, I just recently got back to my account and it seems I can't have a rank in competitions
I read the FAQ, there is no anti cheat test available to me and I have never cheated before, however I do not remember taking any tests in 2013 via my profile.
I don't care if I have to delete my profile again or make an appeal, I don't even know if I am banned.
I would just like to take part in this website.
Fun fact: I only type with 2 or sometimes 3 fingers, and my thumb for the spacebar.

It looks like your account was automatically banned for cheating on 17th of February 2013, the same day it was registered. If you want to be visible in the rankings, you have to create a new account. Don't cheat and you'll do fine.

Coworker got me banned

I introduced this website to a friend of mine.

My profile - http://10fastfingers.com/user/1007589/
His profile - http://10fastfingers.com/user/1028825/

He wanted to cheat the site, and was able to cheat the system. The next day, he sat down at the computer which I was logged into, and told me he "accidentally took a few tests under my account." He was pretty blatant with his cheating, and I hope you can see my history and determine that I'm not a cheater.

My scores don't appear under competitions now, and I'm pretty sure it's due to him cheating under my account.

Yes, both accounts were banned and there was an apparent connection between them. It was cheating in three
competitions, two of which were won, that got your account banned. I've restored it and I'll contact the site admin to have those scores deleted. Make sure no one gets near your account again in the future.

Competitions won not displaying on profile anymore

Hey,

I've invested quite some time on this website over the years (subscribed in 2012) and have been loving it. However, I just noticed that my 250+ number of competitions won became (0) and I am wondering what is happening. Also, I cannot seem to register scores on competitions anymore.

Can an admin advise please?

Thank you in advance,

Okay I think I understand what is going on. This must be due to the fact that I finished many typing tests several seconds apart. My goal was only to get to the 1000 typing tests achievement a little quicker :) So for instance, I would type 2.5 lines on one test (roughly 20 wpm, which is the minimum required), then 2.5 lines on another tab, and so on. This way, I would get more tests finished in the same amount of time. I actually thought it to be quite ingenious! :)

I think that this is what triggered the anti cheat engine. The engine not understanding how one could finish so many tests so closely apart.

Any idea on how I can revert to my account being normal again? I've invested too much time for things to end this way :)

Cheers,
