Ban the Alts

Figsy_Games

Only allow 1 account per player in Ranked mode. Geoguessr is one of the only ranked games that has the top of the leaderboards full of Alt accounts.

Other games have solved this issue by banning Alts, Only allowing 1 account Per player in Ranked mode

But I do agree with the statement of people on Alt's are more likely to cheat but GeoGuessr should really develop anti-scripting or something like that, I know it will take time but would be better than just plain-out banning alts, not to mention the people still have to pay for their alt's subscriptions

For me I am fine with people having Alt's because maybe they want a fresh start but I feel like instead of banning Alt's because it would be hard to ind them all and people will get a bit mad, you could instead ask what division your previous account was and if they lie to get a high rank they get demoted and if they tell the truth congratulations they have a fresh start without disturbing anyone.

Hi. It's been over a year now, don't you think it's time we got a response?

Did not know this was possible. Could discourage this, by letting them pay. $100 or more for alt accounts. Probably wouldn't work, better to ban it entirely, I agree. At least not let them play ranked games.

There is little reason to allow a person to have multiple accounts. When people are less accountable they are more inclined to cheat and exploit.

Today is the 1 year anniversary of this post, still no response.

Pls Devs Respond to this?!?

Another advantage of banning alts from ranked is that it would be easier to identify scripters. At the moment, scripters (who have any degree of skill in cheating) fly under the radar as we often assume that these low level accounts with high ELO are just alts.

It's time we finally got a response to this from the devs. Even if the response is just "no, there's nothing we can do about this" that would still be better than the complete silence we've been getting so far. Soon it will be the one year anniversary of this post and it's the number one most up-voted and most commented thing in the whole feature requests page, it needs to be addressed. This can't go on any longer.
