Turns out they have a new policy about needing to be named to be on the leaderboard. So he's come out, he's GM Ray Robson. They haven't put him back on the leaderboard yet, but it's only just happened.

That's not exactly the whole story

Do elaborate. I thought it was pretty much the whole story. He has scored 58 at least twice, I believe.

Maybe because the "policy" was BS to begin with.
Even now I count 7 anon accounts on the global all time leaderboard:

My guess is the "whole story" has something to do with Hikaru throwing a tantrum, but now Hikaru isn't even in the top 3

I am surprised to verify that. He was equal 3rd. Perhaps they have introduced some sort of tie break.

I don't know that I know the whole story either, but I know that that is indeed a part of it

Some guy called @whitebluebird is going round harassing anyone on the PR leaderboard who is anonymous and demanding they stop being so because they are breaking a chess.com rule by being on the leaderboard. This is wrong in so many ways.

I don't understand anything here anymore...
Vrolijk made 58. He was 2nd but is no more. Instead he is 8th with 54.
cschoppen made it to 61!!! He is 1st alright, however, with "only" 59.
And there was somebody else with 55 I think. Don't remember anymore.
WTF chess.com?
What is this mess? Is chess.com doing anything they can to put Hikaru at least at the 3rd place? It seems so...
Hikaru is a staff! Do you need more reasons?

Exactly W .... T..... F ..... !
If people are cheating, they should be kicked off the site. If that can't be done, how can their achievements be justifiably removed?

Well, chess.com doesn't ban you for cheating at normal tactics.
So it's probably ok to cheat at puzzlerush... just don't get a high score with it because they'll remove it.
That's probably how it works.

I have been told that is not correct, and that people do get kicked out for cheating at PR.
How can you cheat in a game where you need to play in 1 second?

Gee, I don't know, I guess it will forever be a mystery.
If only there were some kind of machine that could take inputs, preform calculations, and produce outputs all in less than a second.
The stuff of fantasy.
Dear chess.com,
I would like to ask about the reason for taking spicycaterpillar off the Puzzle Rush leaderboard?
What was it?
Cheating?
Other?
