Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible:

Looks like the game is filled with anonymous bots again today. Green Felt, I believe you are under attack. Please let us know what's going on. Thanks!

    There were replies to your first query about "anonymous bots" but they mustn't have allayed your concerns. Here's @fingsaint 's reply (The link contains the reasons why you see Anonymous's scores so frequently now.):

    Hi @Bips the visibility of anonymous players stems from a request and the subsequent response from the green felt developers. See this forum thread:
    https://forum.greenfelt.net/discussion/10839/i-miss-the-anonymous-players

    And here's david's reply:

    "Technically we keep track of anonymous games but we only show non-anonymous (nonymous??) games in the high score table.

    The only reason we hide anonymous is because they account for roughly 80% of all games played! So the high score would presumably be almost completely anonymous which isn't very exciting, even though it does show a more accurate accounting of people who have played."

    So, @Bips the answer is that 80% of the players on Greenfelt do not sign in with a user name but play anonymously. Previously, you didn't see all these anonymous players listed on the pop-up High Scores table, but now you do.

    If you do not want to see the multitude of anonymous players on the High Scores pop-up, look below the scores and uncheck the second box: show anonymous players.
