Subject: Fake Talent Warning

:D

I think a lot of people don't pay any attention to that.

my super talented boy maybe someone is intrested :D :D ~30 min with paint :O

looks like made in paint, weak fake :P

Couldn't be more right :)

I often mark something like one week of other training in screenshot. It's on believe or not base. Sometimes I provide SokkerViewer screenshot to prove it.

But when somebody sends them to me, they had to be flawless (no week skips or so on). Problem is afaik with Apollo and Sokker Organizer as they do not show week skips in graphs (if user forgot to update) - correct me if I'm wrong. That's why I take these screenshots as useless...

They are not useless, just that they can sometimes go a little wrong. You should always be suspicious if a plus user provides you with a screen shot from a 3rd party application when they could have used a plus screen-shot instead.

You should also be a little suspicious when you see a Plus screenshot. What I'm trying to say is use your brains and don't just believe everything you see.

Of course, but if you see squigly lines on the talent screenshot then believing your eyes normally holds you in good stead :o)

If they are perfect faked screenshots there isn't an awful lot you can do really, is there?

If it's faked too perfect you start wondering if such a player really can have such a talent:P

I already showed in France the danger of sokker's graph.
In 5 min I could do a fake graph transforming talent of 4 week in 2,5 easily.
We could notice it was a fake with a good eye but with training and some patience, nobody can see the difference.

Use SO graphs or SKmanager graphs but not SK graphs

They are not useless, just that they can sometimes go a little wrong. You should always be suspicious if a plus user provides you with a screen shot from a 3rd party application when they could have used a plus screen-shot instead.

Even with PLUS you must use another program for tracking more weeks and training orders :)

Of course, if the talent is over exagerrated, but just to make a single 4 pop to another 3...you'd never know :o)

@neo - interesting slant...personally i never 99% trust anything that is not a Plus graph...it starts to get a bit worrying if you must rely on 3rd party programs and not the graphs that are produced by a paid for service.

true, but I think he meant situation when sb provides 3rd party application screenshot for which shows something what plus graph would show as well, like 3 weeks pop in youthschool
(edited)

indeed, just play areound with SWF values...

you must have doe it before :))), just messin mate :)

Question: I just got a talent proof in form of a picture as *.png

I thin *.png are photoshop files, aren´t they? If yes, is there any reason for photoshop than faking?

Nope, .png is just a way to save files, you can save a picture from paint as a .png (I even think that is standard, here it is like that)
