If you guys are aware with the creator trends lately, you should know who Ferris02 is. I believe that Ferris02 uses hacks/glitches to somehow make his levels trend. If you played most of his levels, they are mediocre at best and people always wonder why he gets rated/featured so much. Do you want to know why I think the Ferris02 hacks? Usually a level that is rated "Easy" is usually rated by RobTop yet somehow Ferris02 manages to get his levels rated easy when trending. "So they are rated easy, so what?" you may ask. Thinking how must he be hacking. Well if you search trending Ferris's level is pretty much the only level on the list and what I searched Easy and trending, Ferris02's level was the only non-rated "easy" level. Perks of being the only non-rated easy level, less to no competition which can make his levels trend much faster than those rated normal, hard, harder or insane would in the same amount of time. I can sometimes see Ferris's level go from 0 to 1000 downloads in 2ish hours. Ferris is no Viprin or ZenthicAlpha. I honestly doubt he would be that sought after. Do you think Ferris02 Hacks/Glitches likes or ratings? Comment below.

The lock to prevent like spam is client only. You could easily spam like and download packets to robtop's servers using a third party program in order to "hack" likes.
Don't ask why I know this

Ferris02 makes ridiculously easy levels with lots of crappy animations and copy/paste. Not great obviously but if you think about it this is the perfect target for at least 75% of the people who search custom levels to play. Not very many good creators make levels at 2-3 star difficulty but there has to be some so noobs can at least have something they can beat and keep them playing... this is why Jerry4Vietnam (Jerry < Zellink) gets his levels featured. It could be hacking, but I could easily see this being the reason.

Just because the level is easy by itself doesn't make it bad ( ?° ?? ?°) No, ofc not, but usually he just takes a 10-15 block section with a couple gears in ship mode and just copy/pastes it through half the level. That's why.. |

That's why.. I just searched for easy trending levels, and I see what you're talking about.. It just brings up a Ferris level and another one... Most of his levels are lazy, copy-pasted backgrounds and obstacles (except for Diamond IV, probably his best level). I think Ferris knows about this 'advantage', and is making all of these crappy levels just to rack up on creator points. Robtop features them just to have levels of all difficulties on the front page. Anyway, I nominate Ferris as the worst creator in GD  lol |

You must send your account token (exists even if account is not registered) or it doesn't like the level, and the server uses your token to check if you have liked that specific level before. If he does unfairly get likes, it's more likely from some underground clickfarm sort of thing :/ |

Ferris does indeed hack, but he copies levels without getting passwords instead of hacking likes :V
