Who are they?
I'm sure beside those people you mentioned, a lot other people also doing this thing
wave a.k.a. wavesama2014(playdota) a.k.a. cant remember his other aliases
well known abuser of anything possible regarding matchmaking; known-account seller and regular on dotabuff forums
this was his latest account which he got to 6k but got forced by valve to recalibrate:
Think about it for a second. How would Dotabuff know if an arbitrary player changed an option inside Dota 2? Dotabuff is not connected to Valve so that is not possible. What they can do is to retroactively retrieve all matches when said person activates share match history again and plays a new game. (They already do this)
What if you just activated share match history and you want to see your games? Well then you just click the update match history button your last (250 or 500, I do not remember) will be retrieved.
Some people here tried to exploit this a while ago and Dotabuff already has a solution for it in place.
1) We gather all data that is timely - i.e. every time a new match is played we should get it
2) When we notice a new player, or a player who seems to have toggled their privacy setting, we refresh their history.
3) We periodically refresh the histories of all players with stats enabled.
4) We immediately (assuming it's possible with the status of the API) refresh a player when they hit the "Update Match History" button.
Unfortunately we don't get a notification when someone has toggled their setting. I wish we did ;-)
I think what you should do is that if people turn it off they have to click the button in the FAQ to resync it and it doesn't just automatically pick it back up.
Sharing stats will sync but if they turn it off they will have to click "resync stats" to start the sharing with dotabuff. This will prevent the toggling of share/not share to pick the matches they want to do.

Why does Dotabuff doesn't update stats by itself and has to rely on "update match history" button?
I checked some of the player that i played with me on replay and some of them turned their "share match history" option to appear have winrate more than 50%
Isn't Statistic validity is the only reason why we check a website like this? If this website's product is it's statistic, why they doesn't remove that "update match history" option?
I know this is internet, where people can be collude, coward and secretive. But wouldn't it be easier and efficient if it does automatically?
So people doesn't cry about their match doesn't appear in dotabuff history anymore.
Or does it have something to do with valve? or is it only record if a match is finished and not after a player turned on their match history?
