I’m wondering why racers who suddenly drop 10, 20 or even 30 kg and improve their wkg numbers accordingly aren’t automatically flagged in the system for review?
Because it’s a game and it’s fun? 
I’ve given up reporting these folk because it just goes nowhere. The next new thing seems to be the random power bots which also have random cadence and random heart rate traces (which goes up and down in a very non-human way).
Do we have to start doing the same thing ourselves? You know, go on a weekend away of mountain riding and lose 30kg miraculously… I wouldn’t, but it’s frustrating.
As is the idea “fix it for racing, but who cares what happens elsewhere, let them do as they wish”.

That should just not be possible to begin with. 3kg change up or down max a week should be fine.
That would also prevent the ‘my little sister used my account so can you reset it now’ messages

Unfortunately BS weights are baked into Zwift culture now as a result of years of Zwift not caring. The only solution I have for you is to only do verified or partially verified racing (ECRO, FRR) where even if weight isn’t actually checked, unlikely weights are looked into and DQ’d.

ECRO is one of my main pastimes on Zwift, and I happily pay the extra $ to experience fewer of these malicious actors.
i don’t expect Zwift to spend all their time checking up on all the suspicious dudes out there, many of whom would be hard to confirm as cheaters . But people who input massive weight changes should be an easy thing for them to have their system flag automatically for review.

It’s just another level of wokeness from the people that administer the site. Cheat all you like, nothing will happen because they don’t want to upset payers. Reply to someone’s suggestion about having cats by the road though & your toast for a month.
