Ottawa, ON, CanadaThis might not be the most necessary forum post, but I hate it when people leave positions without telling anyone, so just wanted to let you all know that I'm stepping down from my position as moderator. I'm pretty busy with my fulltime job, and honestly I just don't really have much interest in playing videogames anymore as I have other creative ventures that I'm putting my energy into. That, and I also just don't really have as much of an extensive knowledge of the game and it's mechanics as Katzen or Neural, or any of you top players for that matter. I have full confidence in Katzen and Neural to keep the community well-moderated, so I'm not currently looking for a replacement as I don't believe one is needed in this case, but if they feel otherwise and if you'd like to help them out, that's awesome too.
Best of luck to you all!

Hey mods the FF% runs aren't viewable on the leaderboards. Can you guys make it so the default in the variable isn't set to RCT Original? Thanks :)
One word: Watermark. One of the points of having a VOD is being able to watch the game, right? How are we supposed to do that when there's a watermark covering up 70% of the screen? It's one of the most regressive things any runner could do - post a WR time (that's a full 2 seconds faster, I might add), but obscure the screen to make it more difficult for other players to watch, and thus attempt themselves. It's a shitty, scummy thing to do.
Furthermore, it makes authenticating the run harder. Who knows if there is a splice in that VOD? Turning the opacity down slightly on the watermark doesn't do anything. We can't know unless we take a very close look at it, because the watermark impedes us from doing that.
Other games on Speedrun.com outright ban overlays and popups that cover the game. I had a run rejected from the Harry Potter 7 part 1 leaderboards because I had too many StreamLabs widgets covering up the //borders// of the game screen. The BORDERS. Mcataclysm's watermark is directly in the centre of the screen. What if Cheese decided to start streaming like this? 
This should not be any different.
If Mcataclysm can prove that he can get a 1:01 without a watermark, then all is right with the world. Until then, his current VOD should be deleted, to uphold the integrity of the leaderboard.
This has been a topic of discussion on the RCT1 forum as well. It should be noted that using a pre-built ride, other than the tracks that come with the game, is prohibited during runs. While you are allowed to make a track during the game and copy/paste that throughout the park to manipulate whatever you're trying to manipulate, using a pre-built track of your own design gives an unfair advantage.
Unfortunately, this invalidates both Marcel Vos and Tappajav's runs, as both use a custom pre-built track design, but since neither are members of the site, I doubt they'll be too broken up.
Just wondering, would anyone else have any interest in adding a 100% category, and if so, what it would entail?
I know for the PC version, a 100% would be getting all the Olaf Production posters by collecting every Olaf orb thing, as well as collecting every single alphabet letter page as well. I'm not sure what 100% for consoles would be though.
I'm for sure interested in attempting a 100% PC run! I'm pretty confident that with the right routing it could be done in under an hour.
RCT and RCT3 are on here, but where's the second? I have runs of Electric Fields and Crazy Castle but nowhere to share :(
