    I'm assuming it was only the gym stats hall of fame? I've corrected these 5 accounts thanks.

    Hi CindyFury, Admins were removed from ranking. Obviously test accounts are for tests, so they are left as is >So are NPC .. accounts included No, they are not included

After speaking to a hand full of people i've been advised to post this on bugs & issues im pretty sure developer and test accounts are not supposed to be on hall of fame.

Maybe it's worth having a flag for test accounts, so they're not inadvertently fedded/warned by staff, don't appear in hof, etc? Will pass to Chedburn for his thoughts

hehe now that is why i am not a developer.

but developers having stats like these how am i supposed to know my true rank in total stats would it not be possible to use fresh test accounts which don't effect hall of fame?

So are NPC and Developer accounts included in the Hall of Fame statistics? It appears to be the case and there's much debate on the forums about it recently.

Hi CindyFury,

Admins were removed from ranking. Obviously test accounts are for tests, so they are left as is

>So are NPC .. accounts included
No, they are not included

pretty sure you removed clansdancer / hydro dont think that was intended since these admin accounts are actually played

Why do the test accounts need to be left as is? What use could there be in test accounts that are crazy high stats? Maybe alter their stats? Or make their stats visible? Better to remove them but if they have to stay in the ranks, make their stats visible.

Circling back on this issue which is not really fixed. There are still test accounts throwing off the HoF battle stat ranks. It seems there are at least 3 test accounts in the top 20 HoF battle stats. It is kind of frustrating for players that the ranks get thrown off by test accounts. Hard to know where you really are. Also, it seems odd that it would be necessary to have a test account with stats that high. An example of one of these test accounts is Jugs [1448156] who ranks in at around #9. There are also two test accounts in the top 5.

A few possible solutions:
1. exclude test accounts from the HoF
2. make test accounts visible in the HoF list
3. edit the test account stats that are in the top 100 to some lower number so they don't clog up the top ranks
4. tell us which test accounts are in the top 100 so that we can figure that into our calculations

I agree I would like to see them removed or at least visible or somehow marked on the hof page so we can see it's a test account but I don't think your point 3 would work. That benefits the top 100 but still throws off everyone else in the game so bit unfair imo.

Maybe just highlight the accounts in the stats page to show us that it's a test account or have them there but not actually counted as a number.
