Ban Step Count Cheaters

[dstiurca]

Samsung should ban anyone who averages 100k steps or more per day during the monthly challenge. 

This would mean walking 50 miles, or 80km a day, every day. 

This would require 17 to 20 hours of walking every day, for a full month. 

This is clearly impossible. 

This is clearly cheating. 

Ban all the cheaters, it ruins the challenge for everyone else.

You would need to submit feedback in the support tab since this is only a user to user support community.

Relax.  Are there real prizes involved?  It's just a challenge to encourage you to do your personal best.  Concentrate on your own progress, and don't worry about the leader board. Challenge yourself against the people who have realistic numbers. I suspect the reason the cheaters aren't banned is precisely because there are no real prizes involved.

You are ABSOLUTELY correct, whether there are prizes or not, you are right. I don't know about the other replies but if there is a competition for ANYTHING, I am not trying to beat ME, I am not playing chess against ME I want to compete against someone else. They SHOULD ban them, the REAL problem is, you could only prove it by following 100,000 people around 24/7! Yes, they are cheating but unfortunately we are stuck with cheaters.

As I said, compete against people with more realistic numbers further down the leader board. Or utilize the "together" feature and challenge people in your circle. That being said, if they don't ban the cheaters, people will lose interest in doing the challenges.
