 Re: mark "solvers people" in the rankings?
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.

 Re: mark "solvers people" in the rankings?
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.

 Re: mark "solvers people" in the rankings?
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.
