Hey there. The staff has decided to introduce a new proposal for community vote regarding splitting difficulties on the leaderboards and abolishing the "Standard" label for runs.

What is the proposal? Proposal 23-5 (proposal #5 of 2023) is a proposal to decide whether or not to split out the leaderboard difficulties. Each difficulty split was considered as a separate question in the proposal.

Why is it being proposed? This proposal was opened due to feedback from members of the community regarding concrete differences between the difficulties. Also, the verifier team's output has recently been audited, and the audit shows that the team can be reasonably expected to be able to take on the workload of verifying separate difficulties without a significant delay, even with the current rank-based threshold system.

Who on the staff was eligible to vote? Admins, moderators, and leaderboard verifiers. The total pool of eligible voters was 17.

How did the staff decide? 23-5α, split out Hard from Normal: YES (9 to 1 with 2 abstentions) 23-5β, split out Rookie from Normal: YES (6 to 3 with 3 abstentions) 23-5γ, put all difficulty split questions indicated in proposal 23-5 to community vote: YES, by unanimous consent (11 to 0)

These questions now go to the community for a general vote. Please fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/Lxktt7PkRcsAn17J7. In order to be eligible to vote, you must have at least one run on the leaderboards.

Voting will close Monday, April 10, 2023 at 9PM Eastern Daylight Time (Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at 1AM UTC).

Thank you, and take care.
