Same for cycling, over 100mph? Really?

Hello @Mrbombastic 

Thanks so much for your post.  We do have an auto-flagging system in place which catches many (but not all) invalid segment efforts and prevents them from being displayed on leaderboards.  We continuously iterate on this system and appreciate your feedback.

You can find out more details in this post

Also - when you do see invalid segment efforts you can use the activity flag tool to notify us.

Lastly, if you see the same Athlete repeatedly upload invalid data, you can report that Athlete to Strava.

Thanks again for your post.

I ran quite a few world records on short segments when the GPS errors at both segment ends were in my favor. Time for Strava to require a minimum segment length to weed out pollution by the inevitable inaccuracy of consumer-grade GPS devices.

Really frustrating when good local segments are nabbed by cyclists who put wrong activity type a start. This would be auto detection from data and easy for runners to flag up for removal to open up segment to legitimate athletes.

You don't mean auto flagging that already exists to some small degree but marking activities as suspicious so that others can recognize them quicker?

I just noticed one person with an activity of over one thousand hours on top of a leaderboard. Seriously? There are challenges where you should aim for certain time exercised over the course of a month, like in this case January Fresh Start where you’d get the badge by completing 30 hours. January has 31 days, meaning 744 hours. Therefore, it should not even be possible to log more than 744 hours in a month - or if you have overlapping exercises, you should not be able to get double time counted towards challenges - not to mention that even then it is not realistic to exercise 744 hours. Why on earth this was not automatically flagged and removed feels odd to say the least.

Hello, this guide does not work for me. I have myself gotten a KOM I don't deserve due to some GPS glitch. How do I remove it? 

​@Niklindblom You could split your activity in two on the Strava website (of course in the middle of that segment), you could flag yourself or you could change the visibility of the activity to followers only. The last two options would make all segments disappear from the overall leaderboards though.
