When you do well, there will always be a few people who will think that you are cheating or not playing fair. It happens all the time. But you can guard against this by becoming a proven player! Woohoo!

All you have to do is demonstrate to the community that you've got what you claim you've got. In the past this has meant capturing videos or having other people watch you play, but MKW makes it much easier with the ghosts sharing. Below are the various levels of proof.

• Video / Ghost (hard proof) - footage of you playing. It's pretty hard to doubt it. Easiest way to capture a video is with a webcam or dvd-recorder. You can just upload to YouTube or 4Shared. For ghosts, just have one of the proof moderators look at some of them. It is indicated by a .
  
• Witness (hard proof) - someone saw you playing and it looked like you were pretty good. Of course, that 'someone' has to also be a trusted player, and not just your best friend who we've never heard of. Indicated by a .
• Screenshots (soft proof) - photos of your records. These can be faked, so many people are not happy about this kind of proof. Indicated by a .
• Trusted (soft proof) - if you've already earnt our trust (perhaps we've known you for many years, or from other games), then you don't need to do squat. It would still be nice if you proved yourself out of your own free will, though, because you get a nicer tick. Indicated by a .
• None/Unknown (no proof) - you've made some claims and we don't know if you're lying or not. But don't blame us if we decide to kick you off the site :) If you're ranked well (top-50?), progressing very quickly, or have a few world records... you might want to try sending some proof.
• Frozen - if we're asking you for proof and waiting for you to respond/cooperate, we can freeze your times. The database will automatically reject any new scores from you. We melt you again when we're happy with your response. Indicated by a .
• Removed - if you lie, cheat, steal or murder, we send you to jail without passing Go. But we can keep your name on the site, if we want, just to humiliate you and show the whole world that you're a nasty piece of work. But we're nice people and we can forgive you. You're free to redeem yourself by gaining our trust. This is currently not indicated by anything because it happens very rarely.
