This is why I do not do Strava or a member of social media like FB or Twitter or all those other places where the nefarious hang out. I do like forums where you glean information however to a particular discipline like here.
I would not worry about the whatever you are referring to to be honest. I have heard many years ago when Strava was fairly new and had these features that once someone got beat on segments and could not physically beat the other person they would use their device and get into a vehicle and just go quick enough to beat the person to regain the lead. This is why I hate these things personally......peoples itty bitty feelings get hurt.
