Summary: Currently there is no way to remove cheaters from high scores. In addition, there is nothing that deters cheaters. We suggest that cheaters may be banned from highscore/achievements by a developer for their particular game. In addition, we suggest that a player may be permanently flagged for cheating, and banned from all highscore lists. Suggested usage 1. The developer discovers a cheater, for instance the player may have submitted a score that is impossible to reach. 2. The developer logs in to itunesconnect and reviews the high score list and selects the particular player + score. 3. The developer is given the choice to delete this score, or ban the player. A player who has received 3 bans in different games, will be permanently banned from participating in high scores and achievements. Their highscores will be invalidated for all games. VARIANT: Use so-called hell banning: The player sees their score at the correct position, but the score is hidden for all other players. A player who is permanently banned, has all their scores treated in this manner.

I recently logged a similar radar: http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=1787403. I hope Apple takes our advice.
