It depends on your settings.txt, but the default settings seem ok to me for this. They don't prove you're trying to wipe out another player, but they do show that you're probably expanding or developing a lot faster than all the other players - an MEE is probably at least hogging lots of planets and building up a fleet. If they aren't evil, they shouldn't need whatever is causing them to have such a high score.

You're right, being the MEE don't mean that yo'ure trying to wipe out another player, it just shows other players that you're expanding A LOT faster then they are. For instance: In the single player game I'm playing against 13 computers, and they all think I'm the MEE, but it's not because I started attacking them or nothing like that. I always try to make peace with all the computer empires to let myself build up a good defensive system. But this game I'm playing the second I found the first computer (in a large quad) they thought I was MEE. But it's thanks to me expanding so fast. I took 1/3 of the galaxy before I found them or they found me. Now I've blocked off half of the galaxy. So it's just according to how fast you expand in the beginning that decides if you're a MEE.
