Anti-cheat and duplicates

Konquo checks every GPS trace, but it only judges two things: your SPEED and teleports (impossible jumps from one point to the next). Those are the only signals that tell a real activity apart from a fraud.

A run is rejected, and then earns neither territory nor XP, in four cases. All of them concern speed or teleportation.

1. 1Trace quality drops below 30 %, meaning most measured points are incompatible with the declared sport.
2. 2The trace contains at least 3 teleports.
3. 3The average speed is well above the ceiling for the sport, a sign of motorised travel.
4. 4More than half of the points are discarded for excessive speed.

Below 70 % quality, the run is saved but earns neither territory nor XP. Konquo is a public, shared map: a trace whose real share is incompatible with the declared sport cannot take territory from other players.

Peak speed is never measured from one GPS point to the next, but smoothed over several points. A simple wobble in the signal cannot make you look like a vehicle: real excessive speed, on the other hand, lasts over time.

For the same reasons, a slow outing, a walk, a family stroll or a recovery session are fully valid. Konquo measures ceilings, never minimums: nothing forces you to go fast.

A duplicate is a run whose points are at least 95 % within 3 m of a previous run, in the same sport. It is saved but earns neither territory nor XP.

An activity imported from a verified service (Garmin, Polar, Coros, Suunto, Fitbit, Apple Health...) is never penalised by the anti-cheat, even if its GPS data looks degraded: the relative timestamps in those files can fool the checks, and the game accounts for that.

Finally, note that a rejected or overly imprecise run still keeps your streak alive. You do not lose your flame because of bad GPS.
