(This is a repost from a news post of a similar title belonging to the MAIN Hello Neighbor speedrun page, which can be found here. I apologize for anyone submitting runs to this page and not knowing why their runs haven't been verified in the past few months.)

In light of recent events, the mod team has decided on pausing ALL run verification at the moment. In addition, every run that is submitted to the leaderboards during this time may be invalidated. Without sharing too much information, there have been particular files going around that could harm the integrity of the speedrunning leaderboards by making otherwise suspicious or crazy runs look legitimate. As a result of this, we decided to pause verification in order to come up with a solution to eliminate any trace of potential unfair advantages and thus make runs even again.

Once we've come up with a way to do this and are certain that the files will no longer have an impact on speedruns, we will unpause the run verification.
