Not sure if this is a bug. I checked the announcements section as well, and that does not suggest I missed anything. It is also possible that my memory is playing tricks on me.
I could have sworn that yesterday I was ranked 197th in the all time list. Just a few points behind the person in front of me, but at least 1000 points removed from place 191. I take note of this, since I had set myself the goal of reaching rank 180 by the end of the year.
So I am not sure how I could have gained so many places over the course of a single day (or even several). Have inactive users, who have not submitted puzzles for a year or more been removed or something?
I know I was just inside the top 50 all time - either 48th or 49th. I checked my ranking just now and I’m up to 43rd. I presume this is due to the ‘grey listing’ of those who you know are using solvers.
I quit the points race a while back when it was clear that getting from 13th to 12th would take years of gaining a point or two each day from timed puzzles and never taking a break.
Seeing this forum thread prompted me to check the all-time rankings and what do you know? I'm now ranked 12th. I guess all I had to do was wait.
