The Smashspeed leaderboard is community-moderated. If you come across an entry that looks inaccurate or unfair, you can report it, and the Smashspeed team will take a closer look. Reporting is what keeps the rankings honest for everyone.
Who can report an entry
Any signed-in user can report any verified leaderboard entry. You can file one report per entry — if you report the same entry again, it simply updates your existing report rather than creating a duplicate.
Reasons you can choose
When you report a smash, you tell us why. The reasons are:
- Calibration — the reference line looks wrong, so the speed is likely miscalculated.
- Fine-tuning — the shuttle track appears to have been heavily hand-edited rather than genuinely detected.
- Fake — the clip does not look like a real, legitimate smash.
- Other — anything else; you can add details to explain the problem.
What happens after you report
Reports go to the Smashspeed moderation team, not to the public. We re-open the reported entry and inspect the original video alongside its calibration reference line and the AI shuttle track — the same review we run on new submissions — to decide whether the report is valid.
The outcomes
Report upheld
If we agree the entry is not legitimate:
- The smash is removed from the leaderboard. It is not deleted — it stays in the owner’s personal history — it simply no longer appears in the public rankings.
- The owner’s verified ✓ badge is revoked, so their future smashes go back to manual review.
- The owner is given a reason explaining why their smash was removed.
Report dismissed
If the entry is legitimate, the report is dismissed and nothing changes — the smash stays on the leaderboard.
Privacy
Reports are confidential. The person you report is not told who reported them; they only receive the reason if their entry is removed.
