How does TypeRacer try to automatically prevent cheating?

TypeRacer employs several anti-cheating measures, including CAPTCHA tests to verify typing speeds and a system to remove cheaters from high scores and ban them after enough reports.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of how TypeRacer attempts to prevent cheating:

• CAPTCHA Tests:

  If a user achieves a very high typing speed (e.g., over 100 WPM), TypeRacer may prompt them to complete a CAPTCHA test to verify their typing ability. The user is required to type within a certain percentage (e.g., 25%) of their WPM score from the race that triggered the CAPTCHA.

• Cheater Removal and Bans:

  TypeRacer has a system to automatically remove cheaters from high scores and to ban them after receiving enough reports from other users.

• User Reporting:

  TypeRacer allows users to report suspected cheaters, and when enough reputable users report a user, they are automatically banned.
