Unresolved
automatic kick out and HoF

As reported in This thread  The automatic lockout hasn’t been working since the february2025 update. 
While the (long) wait for this to be fixed, I'm starting to notice that many of the accounts that ranked at the top (I checked up to the top 20, but I assume even lower ranks aren't much different) in recent Hall of Fame seasons are in leagues with less than half the number of active players (in some, only a couple). 
I believe this situation is incentivizing some leagues (perhaps unintentionally, I hope) to benefit from the problem by avoiding manually kicking inactive players. 
I don't think it's appropriate to reward, but above all, give visibility and glory to accounts and leagues with so few active players and a low level of competitiveness. 
Therefore, I ask the developers to consider manually addressing this reputation farming (whether intentional or not) and correcting the recent rankings. 
Thank you for your work.

P.S. Before any other player tells me I'm just jealous or makes other similar, unhelpful comments, I want to point out that I've never personally cared about competing for that ranking, which I think has the only real utility of being a tool for finding very active daily leagues, which is now impossible.

Please consider removing HoF in iGP 2026. It damages the credibility and integrity of the game 
....or just remove me from that pointless thing I don't want to be put in comparison with others by decision from above by default if things are played out in an unsportsmanlike manner from other leagues.

It's still unknown if or how HoF is integrated there, but in the announcement it's mentioned iGP Manager 2026 provides skill based official leagues. If HoF only considers those leagues the unsportmanlike reputation farming problem should be fixed, as higher official leagues are likely to require the skill, and dedication, to compete there and get rid of inactives very quickly.

Yes Doctor Tentacle, I agree that it will probably be resolved in the future, but the damage done in the past hasn't been repaired to date. It would have been enough to take 48-72 hours each season before awarding prizes to check and correct the rankings, or suspend or cancel everything until a definitive resolution was achieved. I know that true expert players have now resigned themselves and don't care, but it would be best not to give up for a minimum of consideration and justice, while waiting for an official explanation on this matter and also an apology to the honest and passionate community. It may not be a priority but I ask the moderators to flag this thread to the support team if possible. Thank you for your work.

I've been banging on about the HoF and Rep farms in the volunteer server for many months. I also flagged this thread in the Mod server about a week ago. I assume everyone is too busy with the upcoming major update to do anything about it.

I agree, it's unfair, and more like a Hall of Infamy than a Hall of Fame. The top teams in the table are dominating fully populated leagues, racing alone against a a bunch of inactives and bots. Nobody can get into these leagues to challenge the Rep farmers because they are either password protected or the dominant manager ensures that there are never any vacant slots.

Recently, a genuine player got into the league that is dominated by the Turkish account that usually sits at the top of the table, and wiped the floor with him, winning the first two races of the season by about 15 seconds. His reward for this was being kicked and replaced with another bot to prevent him from re-entering.

Reintroducing auto-kick with a low threshold like 5 days would go some way to stamping this out because the rep gained from partially populated leagues is much lower and it would allow genuine managers to enter these leagues.

Thanks, Kevin Bissell, I really appreciate it. Anyway, I've only been playing for three years, and I've seen that reputation farming rules and penalties were introduced over five years ago. I think they're still in effect in theory, but apparently they were dropped somewhere along the way for no reason. It's a real shame. You're right, Hall of Infamy sums it up perfectly.
