Quoted from sevenrites:

The idea is to try and preserve some type of integrity here, wherever possible

Amen!! Without truth we have nothing and pacifism is almost as unjustifiable as lying. We all should have the integrity to stand for honesty and not accept mistruths. While I do not care what anyone's score is, nor do I care how many, or what machines someone owns. I do care about the truth, truth is the anchor of reality. Everyone should care and speak against lies, it should be the responsibility of all of us as a community. You should be able to take someones word as truth, it may not be possible in the world, but it could be here, with just a little effort.

Quoted from pezpunk:

Anyone that wants to can cheat and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them. Fighting some kind of impassioned battle for truth when it is A - something as trivial as pinball scores that have no meaning anyway because they're on different machines and B - a situation where there is literally no way to detect if someone is telling the truth anyway, it is just an absurdly pointless endeavor. Just accept that the scores are for fun and don't really mean anything. If you want to play competitive pinball, go to a tournament.

I don't care about the lie, I care about the lying.
