What kind of competition is it, when first hundred places of highscore table of the game - any game - filled with maximum possible value? And "maximum possible value" is in terms of programming, not gaming. For example, take a look in highscore table of "Tower of Doom" - first 25 places of all kinds are equal to "2147483647". For that same game i wonder, how much time does it takes to achieve such highscore value? Even if one mess up with the money variable one can only survive for ten, maybe 15 minutes and achieve a highscore something about 300K points.

My point is - highscoring system need some sort of moderator that will exclude from table any suspicious scores. Or shutdown it until you figure out how prevent people from posting so obvious hacked highscores into the system. Or you can just ignore that post or even delete it.

The scoring board is still a very new item. It's only been around for a month or two I believe (perhaps more).

A great idea, that would really help in the future, but I believe that would mean mods would be allowed to get into some AG code, which might go a bit too far into their powers. Not because they can't be trusted (They're all honorable folk) but because their not admins. Perhaps if they made a new version of it, allowing the mods to do that comfortably, which might take some time.
