KOM Flags
+1Best answer by Jane
Hello @grantO
Thanks for your post.
Segments are an important part of Strava, and we appreciate your interest in this topic. 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.
The next step we're taking on this was announced at Camp Strava earlier this year. Click on this link to find out more about our plans to use AI to improve leaderboard integrity.
In the meantime, you can use the activity flag tool to notify us when you do notice invalid segment efforts.
Additionally, if you see the same Athlete repeatedly upload invalid data, you can report that Athlete to Strava.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
+1Every other day I get a "oh no you lost your KOM" and its some idiot that is either in a car or electric bike that CBA to crop I am sure Strave must be able to flag if the KOM has obvious details such as more than 20% quicker! or speeds in excess of what would be normal I have even had KOMs taken by people on trains recording a commute FFS, Today average speed 11mph top speed 57.5 mph up hill sort it out Strava!!!
