This is not legit

@dan You're off topic, dearie.

@lolamoth Oh really? It's not like you explained your post clearly. Looked to me like you were suggesting that because Happysharks has a few more bingos than games played, then he must be a cheater and should be booted. What else were you implying? Guess you could have meant his rating is too high for the amount of games played. In which case you'd also be wrong.
You might wanna remove the patronizing 'dearie' as well.

@dan you sound angry, so let me explain better in hopes it helps clarify my formerly muddy post.
The ratio of bingos to games played, as well as the total number of games ever played, looks fishy.
Certain longtime players here say that this game gets hacked sometimes. Maybe yes?

@lolamoth There used to be a term, "hiders," for people who had a substantial amount of playing experience and then decided to do a "reset" by creating and playing under a new ID. People who do this and start out at the new default rating can then win what looks like a suspiciously large number of games in a short amount of time, and can "rob" other players of lots of rating points until someone catches on. Presumably an experienced player who did this would be likely to accumulate a large proportion of bingo scores, too. This sort of behavior is not very sporting, IMHO, especially if one goes in as a "new" 1500 rater and goes after 1900, 2000, and 2100-ers. Whether it calls for a ban, however, is debatable. Nor am I sure that this is what "Happysharks" has done; but it seems like a possibility.
