Shadow Banning Scores

Shadow Banning Scores

There are two ways to shadow ban a score, either by their player ID or by their IP address.

When running a leaderboard service, you may find players cheat in your game or submit fake scores that pollute your leaderboard. By shadow banning the scores, the scores remain visible for the shadow banned players but do not appear for anyone else. It is an effective way to combat cheaters.

From your Game Services account pages you can shadow ban and delete scores from your leaderboard. You can also shadow ban players and IP's via our shadow ban end point.
