Call world.GetScores() or world.GetScores(hub_path="example_path", hub_password="example_password") and see the result. It does not return all the keys and scores stored on the hub.
* I notice however, that supplying a key and a field will return the expected result. But not an empty argument call.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
var/backup_text = world.GetScores()
Expected Results:
Return a string of all the scores stored on the Byond Hub.
According to the Byond Docs, a zero argument call on this proc should give you a full list.
http://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/world/proc/GetScores
If you leave the key argument blank, you will get a complete list of keys that have scores and stats associated with them.
Actual Results:
I tried both types of calls I mentioned in the "Descriptive Problem Summary" section and did not receive the entire list of scores. Instead I saw a relatively small list of only keys shown below.

Where the Byond Hub Scores web page for my server here shows that we have 6842 entries, not the ~70 keys displayed:
http://www.byond.com/games/Slurm/ GoonStationMedals?command=view_scores
With a few spot checks on some of the values outputted, I found a few keys that did indeed have a score on the website, but I also found some for which we had no scores. For example the last value outputted, Zach_calhoun, is not on the website.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time.
In other games? n/a
In other user accounts? n/a
On other computers? no.
When does the problem NOT occur? Never.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
As far as I know, this problem existed as far back as Nov 26 2019, because in my discovery of this issue I learned that someone else encountered it too and wrote a workaround to scrape the Byond Hub scores website because they could not use world.GetScores().
Workarounds:
Scrape the Byond Hub scores website for a server.
