if i understand your question, you are asking why someone is able to claim world record without video proof. This is something I've been wondering about for a bit now as a mod. When I first made this board, I was the only person who had done a run and the only one who had shown any interest in the game (as little as it was) for quite a while. Also, at that time I had no way of recording a 2+ hour run (as it was a full game any% run) so I made the boards not require video proof since i figured I was going to be the only one on the board and anyone who was going to fake a time for a (dare i say) "meme" game was such a low possibility and honestly a meaningless one.
However, now that this game has started to pick up some runners (particularly for individual levels) I have been wondering whether or not video proof should become a requirement for submission. Because now it is not merely my opinion on the subject that matters (since I am not really running the game at all) but the opinions of those running and those wanting to run the game. And having a board filled with WRs that do not have video proof, as the level leaderboard currently is, does not seem very good for those coming in or for those wanting to improve.
So I can either simply require video for all times going forward (all new runs will require video proof) but leave the runs that currently do not have video up on the boards until they are replaced with runs including video;or I can wipe the boards of all runs without video. I'd like some additional opinions on this decision, including alternative plans of action.
Most Level Leaderboards do not require videos. For example, Sm64DS has a lot of runners for IL's and they do not need videos. I think videos should only be required if we had around 15+ people playing.
ILs are not heavily contested/valued enough by the speedrun community as a whole to require videos honestly. They don't even appear on the main profile of the runners.
I think the video need for IL times is not really needed but needed for full game runs.I can't post anything bc i don't have anything to record with.
Yeah for full game runs video evidence should probably be necessary. ILs stay relaxed.
Pong do you think you can change the video need? I have some good IL runs i need to post :)
I just think that had to have evidences for all runs,because when me I liked it in the web site I accepteda term that said what in any running that was run fur world record it would have to have evidences of video
