Subtle grab hackers?

[Dinosaurus]

So something has been happening that I can't replicate on my own, and I have come to the conclusion that its hacking:

A person standing still on a ledge will wait until someone comes by, will grab them, and then spin 180 to deposit them over the edge of the cliff. Nothing can be done to resist, its like the victim's feet have been greased.

I have tried really hard to figure out how they are doing it with friends (who have had it happen to them from time to time), and we cant do it.

Is this a really subtle hack?

idk, but I noticed after a two week break that people are grabbing/pushing me a lot more , specially on levels like memory game and fake doors

Not quite the same but you can see the guy attempting to do a floating push at 0:30

Unrecorded was a bit before this where the same guy pushed someone off a ledge while floating over it.

No it looks like he's floating because of latency. On his screen it probably looked normal

if only you could hack the hackers so they would disconnect or make them lose.

I'm not sure I understand the issue completely, but could it be an interaction of the known "float in air" cheat with the regular (not explicitly cheated) grabbing mechanic?

The float-push is clearly difficult to do, but I've seen hackers try it. If they get it right, they can send another player flying.

The hackers are clearly evolving. They aren't content with just nabbing crowns now, they are finding ways to grief and ruin the game even more.

I saw two hackers working together on Seesaw to keep the final choke point tilted to the point where no other players could pass it. Luckily, there aren't many levels where they can totally ruin things, but it's also common for them to grief in two places on Slime Climb. They're just doing all they can to ruin the game now, because hoarding all the crowns wasn't enough.

you can push with more force in roll out if you push in the opposite direction of the cylinder. People standing at the edge waiting to jump to the other side are the easiest target for this. Always stand in the middle.

It's an advanced technique that is risky because by pushing someone to the slime, you are yourself exposed to this technique. It work because pushing someone stop them in place. The cylinder keep rotating you kinda slide on it.

My opinion is that on the video is that the guy is trying to push in the direction of the cylinder which cause this weird repositioning and with lag it look like he's floating.
