What happened to our lil' golden sponge cake with the cream filling?

I noticed he was removed from the Thunderbolt Leader boards.

Was he somehow disqualified? Or outright banned?

Just curious!

You do realize that whatever happened or hasn't happened, they can't and won't talk about it except with the people directly involved, yes? As has been repeated often and clearly?

[Scout Derek]

Don't know wth Telmasa is talking about, we can say they are banned, but not why.

I don't even know OP, sorry.

Twinky was at the top of the TDR-5S(P) leader board and now is gone from the game.

it seems there was a bug when group drops counted for the leaderboard, it was fixed and so the board shifted, see the thread in 'announcements' section

Thanks for the update B.A.K., i'll check that out!

Telmasa: I thought something along those lines might have been the case. In retrospect I should have worded my post a little different (it could be interpreted as an accusation of sorts). I definitely didn't want to violate the 'name-and-shame' policy, which I was a little worried about, but I'm not super-savy on the rest forum rules.

I tried a few things before posting here: I googled him and searched for his profile but I didn't come up with any results.

Yep, there was a bug that put people that played in group queues on the list, despite the event being solo queue only. A lot of people disappeared from the list at that point.

I get that people are extra suspicious because of the late events, but there's no sign of foul play here, just a bug in PGI's systems.

I was able to find a forum post by a confirmed cheater - when I clicked on the link to their profile from the post, the players status read 'Banned - Cheating'. When I use the search function and type in their name, nothing I got no results.

A forum search for Twinky's player profile also pulls up nothing.

I don't think the search for player profiles works... I searched for a couple of people and got nothing, so then I searched my own profile, and got nothing...

That's whacky, I have no trouble

I can find both myself, and you!

vanished people are a bug, cheaters are named and shamed via their profiles

From what I heard, there was a bug where players scores from group games were being recorded in the solo only event.

I believe PGI posted about it, and fixed the leader boards. There were many players who we effectively removed from the leader boards, as their scores shouldn't have counted in the first place.
