Any other suggestions? Any decisions?

Yes, thanks for the reminder, I should get on this.

I did a first check of solving data, and "grey listed" 7 accounts:
those accounts are no longer visible in the rankings, except to the puzzlers themselves.

I.e. if your account is "grey listed" for using an automatic solver, you still see yourself (and
other greylisted accounts) in the rankings. Others don't though.

5 months on (!), ran another check, and grey listed another 2 accounts

Since I did not move up in the all time rankings (just 182nd now, and have been for a while - starting to take longer and longer to move up) I am guessing those would be fairly new accounts that were using the solvers? Really not sure what anyone would gain from it, even if they wrote their own solver.

Another little tweak: the timed puzzles "get set" page
(https://www.calcudoku.org/ops/getset/en) shows a list
of the people who achieved the "speed demon" achievement
this year so far, but it included people using / having used a solver

This has been fixed now.

ran another check, 2 more accounts grey listed, with possibly 1 or 2 more to follow
