Also delete @KensIDi, they are the same bot as @greaseboi. Both profiles are from new york, signed up at the same time, and both posted links in the same thread (KensIDi edited the link out). @denz might be a bot as well, all three of them mention playing mario 64 from childhood.

Well, pretty much all the games I play are almost exclusively platformers, and I don't use steam, so my advice might not be very good, but something generic that applies to everybody is to run games that you enjoyed casually.

For Karting games, I recommend the mario kart games, but those aren't available on steam. A popular game right now is "Jelly Drift" which was made by a popular game dev who also created another one of the most popular games on this site, Karlson. Jelly Drift is a racing game made in unity that has a very active community right now, so I'd recommend that one.

Unfortunately, that's all I can do.

The way that you are supposed to fix this is to add a flag to the front of the person's name, for example, [us]Merl_

However, it's just as effective to add a zero-width space to the user's name.

@thegoodjakeward that is intended behavior. The pending actions section is for your pending actions, including runs and game requests. The "runs awaiting verification" section is for runs submitted to games you moderate.

Yeah, I assumed it was because of what @Liv said, before it was changed, there was a bold line at the top that said something like 'dont message me anymore im not staff anymore please"

I signed the petition

it forced me to sign a bunch of random petitions before I could sign it but I did

Yeah, I didn't mean to be hateful, and I'm very sorry if I came off that way. It's just that we've already had two recent incidents of people spamming self promo, so to see a third example just made me feel exasperated. Again, I'm sorry if I was rude.

Well, The request leaderboard moderation post was changed to display lewisandspark's name instead of darave, and lewisandspark logs into the site daily, so Elo is obviously doing something, but it's not anything we asked for from what I can tell.

speedrun forums

obviously

@Sandstorm187 Seydie is definitely not looking for games, and there was no point in continuing this thread. Posting on one thread is enough, please don't promo on more than one.

@Sandstorm187 that isn't related to what the thread is about. Please stay on topic and try not to interject whatever game you're promo-ing into every conversation

you've already promoted the game in at least 5 other threads. Everyone who is interested has already seen your post multiple times

Seriously stop spamming

PRESS LCTRL+C TO COPY THE ABOVE MESSAGE. ALL HAIL COPYPASTE

Depends on the community, but it's common practice to submit video evidence for all runs. Make sure to read the rules, and if you have questions, ask in the game's forum or discord. You can also upload videos to twitch, however make sure that before you stream attempts, opt in to vod saving, otherwise the video will be deleted as soon as you end stream. Also make sure to highlight the vod so it does not automatically delete after two weeks. Do not upload runs to streamable, because they delete videos after 3 months unless you pay for their service. You can also upload/stream on nicovideo or bilibili, but I don't know much about those and can't give advice.

Edit: I should have said this in the original post, but I highly recommend you use twitch or youtube. They are the most common, and in my opinion, easiest ways to record and upload runs. Because of how common and popular they are, there are tools for them that can be used for framecounting and retiming runs without downloading the video, which means that it will be easier and quicker for mods to verify your run.

We literally told you to stop the self-promo multiple times, and when you read that you decided that the best course of action was to self-promo again?!

You need to be more specific, otherwise we won't be able to make informed recommendations. Do you like glitch heavy games? Do you like platformers, RPGs, combat games? What consoles do you have? Do you have money? Without answers to questions like these, people will just recommend whatever game they like to run, and the odds of finding a good game in that mess will be next to none.

@6oliath that was the site mods, not elo staff, elo did not read that thread they only "read" the stickies. Also, it was locked because they told @dha to make a new one and not necro a thread

(Y​) Shame

its not important

You're allowed to talk about off topic things here, but you have no intentions of actually doing anything of value on this site. There are many, much better places to advertise. I'm sure you can find several subreddits, discords, or literally any other place than here. Self-promo is against the site rules, and can result in a permanent ban.
