That's my gut instinct too. I'll let George weight in, make the executive decision on that.

For now we'll keep an eye on it. Right now that user has:
49 total results (not much) going back to July 10, 2015
All of them are "no factor by TF"
Total GHz/days: 427,932,830.906507

They started out with "[mfakto 0.14...]", moved to "[mfakto 0.13pre1...]", and wound up with "[mfakto 0.15pre1...]"

These are the 36 different exponents this user has submitted TF results for:

These two check out fine. I covered his/her range and went one higher.

edit:
The 226M ones check out too. (range+1)

And another one:
"Conductor"

I was wondering about him when I saw him jump 201 places in a day.

At least this one has ~1300 factors, which is quite a good hit from ~80k trials. It may be something else going on there (like some P-1 factor reported as TF, by mistake? there was an old bug doing that, but it should be fixed now).

Well, have a look at these exponents:

I'll take this one from 66 to 78 to check.

Though there is a disagreement between the summary (no factors below 2^777) and the individual results (only up to 2^77).

I just added the other one to the top of my queue:

Factor=923543977,66,79

added them to my queue, to 72 bits (purged the part done by Polar)

Grrr... Then is clear...

Would it be possible to let the server automatically dismiss a single TF results if it's say >25,000 GHzdays??
That would be high enough to let legitimate 100M digit TF results through (to ~85 bits), but stop weird/fake results.
