I forgot to mention that most computers these days (at least in rich
countries) are not multi-user so this isn't as big of an issue as it
would seem.

You need to ensure that both the server side and the client side are
sufficiently secure that this doesn't cause issues. Obviously for FOSS
games the code can easily be modified to submit fake scores. One
interesting way around that (which I saw used with the puzzle game
primrose) is for the game to submit all data needed to create the high
score and then the server side can verify that data gives the right
high score. This works better for puzzle games with defined rules
though.
