I'll admit, I've found the Oggy-related banter around here in the past completely hilarious and enjoyable.
But I certainly understand your concern and frustration about this sort of thing Orcin.
I myself am just not very much compelled by the more competitive aspects of this hobby and have never once played in Challenge Mode. But I can see where if it feels like it is being taken advantage of wildly and you enjoy the challenge of matching your skills against other players this could render the whole thing rather meaningless.
At this point though I find myself thinking two things about Oggy:
1) There is a mental/emotional imbalance at play here that would compel someone to behave this way with no tangible reward other than (false) bragging rights, and that is, in fact, not funny, even though the, I think mostly healthy, reaction here has been quite amusing, or....
2) Someone is very deliberately making a point, pretty much the same point you are making Orcin, about the validity of Challenge Mode results, but in a far less direct, sneakier way. If that is true, I somewhat respect that but I think it would be best if they came forward and fessed up now.
