@Arwoo Doesn't that mean that there were in fact logs of "runner ups" if you were able to verify previous record holders? Was this information not accessible for records where cheaters ultimately got disqualified?
@Neospector Did you copy-paste the characters into the game to demonstrate it? If so, yes they get entered and display. But entering them through a foreign keyboard/locale doesn't get registered by the client.
