I've reported it 100 times, but there is still a glitch that exists that allows you to destabilize your spar rating deviation and reset it to 350, essentially allowing people to completely ruin the spar leaderboards.
When you log on to the same account from 2 devices at the same time, it will reset your rating deviation, but not your rating. Basically, you can win a spar, reset it, win a spar, reset it, repeat, and this way get an outrageous amount of points and saturate the entire rating pool. People have been abusing it forever and sparring sucks enough as it is right now, so this could use fixing.
I assume the glitch has to do with the fact that you have 2 different ratings (one per device type, PC and iDevice), if that helps you in fixing it. Maybe just timestamp when someone has last had 350, and if they have it again within 10-20 days then it's being abused.

A screenshot of what I'm referring to, since it was easy to predict that certain scrubs would abuse it for attention (XDDD):
Second player in the second screenshot is not in the first screenshot because he used the glitch to reset his rating deviation to 350, then boosted repeatedly. You only appear on leaderboards when your rating deviation falls below 80.
I have no interest in sparring while the server's lag is in the condition that it's in lately, but if anyone cares enough to try and force it to be fixed then I'd probably just suggest abusing the glitch over and over until the whole leaderboard and pool of rating is effectively ruined, because that's what's happening anyway.
