Possibility of cheating in poly track

This has been a growing concern of mine, I've been playing poly track for over a year now and put some time into climbing the leaderboards.  Recently i was going through and watching  world records on the leaderboards for the community tracks, and i noticed that their are some people whose inputs on the display are insanely fast. Along side that their times are usually a few milliseconds faster than second place, and in a game like poly track, that's a lot . As my account name suggests i don't want to be known by real in game name, but please if anyone has extra insights on this please come out and talk about it. 
There's also the chance I'm going crazy so also let me know if I'm just horribly wrong .

have seen (in polytrack 4.0, at least), people clip into the wall, or thin air, and disappear, and their time was 0:00.000, but that seems to be fixed. Any examples of maps that demonstrate this cheating?

On Hyperion sanctuary the speed at witch the number one runner is seems almost inhuman. It's seemed to be about 10-14 clicks a second. I've looked at many other runs, and I have yet to find other runners close to that amount of click speed.

I'm thinking people may be playing in slow mo, something like this happened in trackmaina a few years back. That's what makes me think of it now

It's possible to click that fast - watch my run on this track

just did a run with some pretty fast clicks

If I can do that on mobile I cant imagine how fast how fast it could be done on a keyboard by an elite player

SpeedySebas is in the top place in a lot of maps -- check out his old TAS channel here

So are we saying he's tasing his records? I'm a bit confused

I dunno. He seems to be near the top of almost every map, which isn't impossible for a good player with a good keyboard see histioth above,  -- I only joined PolyTrack recently, don't know much :) if you just search 'speedysebas', there are a lot of speedruns on many diffrent games, so I think he's just a really good player

I wouldn't worry too much about cheating in PolyTrack. The automated verification system catches most forms of cheating, but it's still possible to cheat with TAS or by slowing down the game.

If you have a concern about a specific run you can report it in the cheating-reports channel in the Discord server and a moderator will take a look at it!
