I have absolutely no ideas ^^!
Well, I host teeworlds on a pretty cheap server, a 10 Gb SSD from OVH. While it does it's job pretty good, I think at some point the SSD was full. And when I upgraded teerank to the next version I got tons of errors, some files could not be created, some write failed, etc...
At that point I noticed that elo points of some players were reset to 1500. So it's very likely the right explanation.
Do you want me to fix your record by hand?
zandyZ may want it, I prefer to crawl back from the start. :)
I was just surprised by the event, especially considering that it was only 2 players.
In fact some other players were reset as well (I got reset too). I think every players who recently played are affected by the bug. I will rename "zanchho" to "zandyZ".
I will also leave this issue open so you can post other rename requests as well :)
Still renaming seems pretty strange. Is malicious intent possible?
I hope not, but I have to admit that I don't feel very confident about my checks on user inputs. I'm going to review the code and find a way to do reliable backups and put them on another machine.
Another renaming spotted: "Teegirl" => "Teefrozen?".
That looks like a disturbing trend now. No idea what causes it though.
Update: Same happened to "SpaceTime Zushi". His name changed into "SpaceShyGuy*". Update: "jake" => "jakTheHalfTee"
At this point, I think, the possibility of upgrade errors is out of question.
The issue was indeed due to the failed migration.
Hi,
Recently I have discovered that the names of several players (including me and zandyZ) have been changed, while retaining all the other attributes, like score and clan. http://teerank.com/pages/1.html zandyZ's rank record got renamed to 'zanchho' and mine to 'Shiister'.
How could this happen? :O
