Just wondering how people here trust the high score boards on these games, as part of the enjoyment can sometimes come from seeing how I rate against others. Its not a BIG thing (well actually someday I would like to be able to score higher than my wife on a tower defense game) but it seems that some of these scoreboards are filled with fictitious numbers.

e.g. Tower of doom (http://armorgames.com/play/6071/tower-of-doom) with a large number of high scores something like 2,147,483,647 while I can not see any way to get even into the millions with this game.

So I was just wondering if anybody moderates or oversees these boards, and is there any reason to participate when a game prompts me to submit a score, as the fun aspect has been kind of taken away here.

p.s. if there is a way to cheat/hack or otherwise fake the scores, I am not interested in learning how. I would, however, like to believe any such holes are plugged when found.

They are deleted from time to time, and yes, they are achieved with hacks.

Basically just discard all the scores which are obviously ridiculous and compare to that, because that's your true rank.

This is just like on Corp. Inc. where it says a guy finished it in 000. Like WHAT THE???

If you think a score is suspicious, then send an email to Justin at support@armorgames.com and he'll look into it.
