#3 applies IRL as well.

The Innsbruck KOM segment has been flagged as hazardous too.

Eric, the thing I really hate is Strava refuses to separate outdoor and virtual rides in yearly total. Should be really easy to have 2 columns, or a separate tab like they have for cycling and running now.

And the Innsbruck KOM as well (https://www.strava.com/segments/18397965). I’ve already put in a support request to have it unflagged.

In reply to Mac. It's more my decision than Veloviewer's, I suppose. I haven't done it because every climb has both a Watopia and France version, so it seems odd/messy to have a leaderboard with two versions of each climb.

It’s super weird to me to try and hold Strava responsible for the (lack of) performance verification of data provided by Zwift. I think these arrows should be directed towards Zwift, but evidently they prioritise “fun in the game” over maintaining a sense of performance realism. It wouldn’t have been my choice, but it seems entirely deliberate. Agree with the other points though.

In reply to Colin Jones. Hmmm. They will override a flag that is applied for a valid reason to stop people flagging activities for invalid reasons. I wonder if they beat their dogs when they behave in order to get them to stop misbehaving.

Does anybody know whether Veloviewer plans to add a Zwift Climb Portal Leaderboard? Is this technically feasible? Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere.

In reply to Scott. I think if you have a ride flagged you can appeal and if successful Strava will allow it to be visible again and then from that point people can't flag it again. Its a feature to stop bullies constantly flagging somebodies activities for no reason.

In reply to Xavier.

Because of the lack of interaction between Zwift and Strava this would be difficult as I suspect the agreement was Zwift put a flag in the FIT file and the Strava read the Fit file.

Ideally Strava should have implemented different co-ordinates for the various percentages and then that way they wouldn’t show up on the same leaderboards.

I guess Zwift implemented it as they have as its easier for them this way and they don’t really care about how stuff works on other platforms.
