No, I don't want to see your Nioh meme-stream Fridays No, I don't want to watch your casual exploration of Breath of the Wild No, I'm not interested in seeing your call of duty 3v3 tournament If I wanted those things I would be on Twitch not the streams section of Speedrun.com I was under the impression the stream section on Speedrun.com was for speedruns. If you aren't at least running a timer, or at the bare minimum practicing for a speedrun, you probably don't belong here. I just want to watch some speedruns, some days the stream section can really be cluttered with nonsense.

In my opinion there should at least be a way to flag streams for a moderator to review or something similar to deal with "laziness".

I'm not sure you read my post, maybe I just read yours wrong since it is written in half-English I am talking about things that are clearly not speedruns. If you are practicing or exploring new routes that is one thing, but you can never convince me that Call of Duty 3v3 tournament is productive for speedrunning. It's not about punishing people for having fun, it is about punishing people for a lack of responsibility. People that very clearly are just desperate for views in any way and push out other people who are actually attempting to speedrun. If the community wants it there then fine, I won't argue, but I'm not the only one who feels this way.

The whole stream page is planned to have a total overhaul (IIRC). It is one of my favorite parts of the site.

Needs non twitch embeds tbh

Maybe you should make your stream list opt-in, instead of opt-out. Because I sure don't give a rip what people like iluvpie2 think when I'm streaming.

Perhaps another way to approach this would be to widen the variety of ways that people can voluntarily opt out of appearing on the Streams page.

Currently, your stream will not appear if you have "[nosrl]" in the title, which a lot of people clearly can't be bothered with. I certainly can't.

Maybe it would be prudent to update the User Settings to include a field where you can define terms that will prevent your stream from appearing in the Streams page if your title contains those terms. "Casual" is the big one that comes to mind, since that's a term that many people employ in everyday use.

@PresJPolk I strongly disagree. Most people aren't going to bother to check that option, especially if they don't use the streams page themselves. If it's opt-in, that page will always be missing a LOT of actual speedruns. I'd rather see false positives than miss out on a speedrun I want to watch. Right now you only see streams of people with a PB unless you turn that off, but that's not really worth complaining about.

@Drakodan I do think some SRL-like requirements by default would help a lot. Maybe it'll be something included when it gets overhauled.

The Has PB in Streamed Game option usually works well enough for me.

^ I never noticed that option before but that's fucking elegant.

I've said the page 'needs overhauled', I don't know that it's happening any time soon at all. SRL hosts a "managed" page so to speak, and we don't currently have mechanisms to manage our page for the most part. It would also introduce additional day-to-day maintenance effort to manage the page.

To be honest, I never really look at those pages. But I tend to run games that don't have huge boards.
