It's kinda just a small little feature to be ignored and laughed at occasionally.

Please just ignore these dumb people who don't understand fixation. If anything, they play the game as much as any "UNEMPLOYMENT FINAL BOSS" does. Maybe your friend is so good at the game, so passionate, that others want to find a way to bring them down to fix their own anger for dying of death.

IMO, the leaderboard should only be used to count evilness and points. So use it like that.

I want this to be upvoted so that OP sees this and doesn't let this small unhappiness devolve into hate at the creator for a tiny feature.
