I mean, all you've been doing for 2 days is accusing people including the site creator of being corrupt without providing any proof so talk about the pot calling the kettle black...
Alright, I know its probably unwise to bump this up again as this thread should be dead but seeing as its been more than two weeks and some quite ridiculous accusations have been levied against me I find it reasonable to be able to defend myself now that I'm back.
First thing is first: my runs have now been accepted. Newer submissions that is (my old runs that were taken down STILL with no reason given are still listed as rejections) Whatever, they're mostly obsolete now so it isn't that big of a deal but awfully sketchy how you don't want to mention those at all. Now what unfortunately has come out of this was a new rule added to every category for the game. One that reads as follows: "Submissions with disrespectful/profane comments and/or media will be rejected. " For one, what is the standard or precedent for what is and isn't disrespectful and profane. I personally would consider talking down to your audience and calling them idiots, morons, autistic, etc is "disrespectful and profane" @SHiFT who has repeatedly done just that. I don't think thats reason for rejection but according to your own subjective rules it should be. Also notice it goes past the comments issue and specifically says "and/or media will be rejected" meaning the actual video itself can be given as a reason for rejection of what is otherwise a legitimate run. Why leave it up to such subjective standards? This would mean that anyone in the 'in group' of the community can get away with it whilst people like me who talk about this whole debacle during my runs would get rejected because you could consider practically anything "disrespectful." Aside from that stupid rule being added lets get onto shifts accusations of me.
#1 that I deleted runs/submissions to cover up evidence. This accusation especially is laughable as it stems from a misunderstanding shift has of this website and the way it operates. To put it simply whenever you make a submission and it is rejected it will be listed under pending actions as a rejection. A player can then hit 'edit' and resubmit it for approval. When it is resubmitted it appears as a separate submission until rejected wherein it returns to counting as only one rejection (joined with the old one) Shifts "proof" of this stems from him only seeing that I have 3 rejections, yet I submitted way more than 3 (they were the same runs/rejections just edited and resubmitted) he then leapt to the conclusion that I must've been deleting runs to hide something -.- Anyway now that thats cleared up care to walk that one back shifty?
#2 that I'm a troll. I have said time and time again that I am not one and you even state this petty: "Had he stopped claiming he was a troll before spamming the forums with rude content, we may have reconsidered his submissions." FYI I did explain multiple times that I was not a troll before ever being involved on the forum. This is a blatant lie and I'd encourage you to walk that one back too. You were the people that labbeled me a troll and have continued to do so (hence the thing that started this all: you not being able to handle "from your favorite troll" in a comment of a submission that you could've chosen to edit or remove.
#3 that I cheated...for an out of top 3 position.... on a leaderboard for a spongebob game -.- Are you freaking serious? To actually buy that garbage you'd have to assume I recorded a TAS or used other tools to cheat wherein I messed up frequently in the run, did multiple runs before hand (all live and on stream as well) and was pressing on my controller for the entire time lining up button clicks with inputs. You'd think if someone were to actually go through all that trouble they wouldnt be doing it for 20th place -_- Also gotta love how he explains how people CAN cheat without going into how I SUPPOSEDLY cheated. Brilliant stuff there shifty. Furthermore it should be worth noting the run he accused me of cheating in is now approved. (on one last note on this: I'm pretty sure that in the rejections there was no mention of me cheating which leads me to believe this was a ploy to cover your mistake after the fact) So another blatant lie with that accusation. Care to walk that one back as well?
Just a few enders: love how you admit ringo rejected giving no reason. (gotta protect the in group) Still no explanation for my older runs that were already verified but got rejected because of this You claim this isn't some personal issue until I made it one when if you guys hadn't rejected my runs out of spite and idiocy this ordeal never would've happened. Also gotta love how your screenshot of "proof" only proves that ringo rejected it with no reason. Good on you -.-
In my own (subjective) personal opinion the way these players have handled this situation and acted toward me is unbecoming of a moderator and what they should be. Furthermore why should a site about speedrunning and the content therein be subject to limited freedom of speech? What about saying a few nasty words makes the run itself illegitimate? Its a slippery slope from you cant say anything offensive to you can't say anything at all because of anything being able to be interpreted as offensive.
My personal advice for you @SHiFT_HD would be self-reformation. Grow some thicker skin, Get off your high horse, and stop lying about me.
Sounds like it's resolved if your valid, non-troll runs are being accepted now.
My older runs are still rejected, the new subjective rule they added is BS and do you really think shift or the other mods should suffer no consequences for abusing power and lying about me? I would consider this far from over.
Edit: also they weren't troll runs in the first place -.- They were "valid" from the beginning @PresJPolk
Yeah Im not sure what yoshis on about? I guess he was having a hard time setting splits or something?
