I play therefore I am, ergo... QED? 

A bit about proof

When you do well, there will always be a few people who will think that you are cheating or not playing fair. It happens all the time. But you can guard against this by becoming a proven player! Woohoo!

All you have to do is demonstrate to the community that you've got what you claim you've got. In the past this has meant capturing videos or having other people watch you play, but MKW makes it much easier with the ghosts sharing. Below are the various levels of proof.
  • CTGP (ultimate proof) - this is a mod that serves as a time trials anti-cheat and allows you to upload your ghosts to a public database. All serious top players use it and you can get it from Chadsoft. It is indicated by a green tick.
  • Video / Ghost (hard proof) - footage of you playing. You can just upload it online. It is indicated by a yellow tick.
  • Witness (hard proof) - someone saw you playing and it looked like you were pretty good. Of course, that 'someone' has to also be a trusted player. Indicated by a yellow tick.
  • Screenshots (soft proof) - photos of your records. These can be faked, so many people are not happy about this kind of proof. Indicated by a yellow tick.
  • Trusted (soft proof) - if you've already earnt our trust over time. Indicated by a yellow tick.
  • None/Unknown (no proof) - you've made some claims and we don't know if you're lying or not. If you're ranked high, or progressing very quickly, or have a few world records... you might want to try sending some proof.
  • Frozen - if we're waiting for you to cooperate, we can freeze your times. The database will automatically reject any new scores from you. We melt you again when we're happy with your response. Indicated by a blue F.
  • Removed - if you lie, cheat, steal or murder, we send you to jail without passing Go. Or we can keep your name on the site, if we want, just to humiliate you and show the whole world that you're a nasty piece of work. Not recommended.
