Segments Classification, how exclude people using vehicles?

I find this type of "records" in many segments when I ride my bike...:confused:

I want to think that are "people who forgot turn off" recording de activity... but...sure the fact is not like that in some cases :rolleyes:

How can we avoid this kind of demotivating and annoying things?

    Better explained:

    You can see people riding thru flat or even climbing... and doing 80-90km/h average speeds!!
    Also there are people climbing +8-9% slopes at 50km/h...

    :eek:

    so WTF?? :confused:

    And what if is not possible to send them a message?

    And what if they did it intentionally just for cheating...or some kind of "trolling" people in Garmin Connect?

    Now at GC users can not "tag" an activity as can be done in Strava for example.
    That's the only thing GC is less suitable than Strava for "keep things almost real" with classifications. And maybe not detecting "group" activities automatically.

    But GC has a great advantage because wind is registered with the time in the segment.
  • I was being sarcastic. Everyone who has lived long enough knows life isn't fair, and to be so hung up about someone else's meaningless numbers to find the whole thing demotivating is a bit extreme. However, given there is effectively conflict (between what you think is acceptable and what "they" apparently think is acceptable), then try to approach it as an exercise in conflict resolution, instead of getting what you want unilaterally using technological solutions (to which you may not have access today, and with which you cannot provide yourself).

    Well, I understand that "technological solutions" can be unfair and cause problems if that "strange numbers" are automatically detected...etc

    And if GC start to using a "tag" system as Strava, will be needed some human resources to process that things... and maybe GC still is not in that game as it's free...etc

    But... if at least we can put a comment in the activity just for Ask them nicely...
