Without watching the video, my first question whenever anyone makes a post like this:
You first asked the mod for an explanation, right?
You need to work on your presentation skills. I could barely manage to skim through your 50 minute video of incoherent ranting. A document format would have been much better.
This video can be condensed down to the following points (correct me if I'm wrong):
- This moderator's initial rules regarding the "100%" category were seemingly incorrect and/or outdated based on new findings (450 vs 460 total points. Also I have no idea why you bothered to initially cite a 2005 GameFaq's guide, that you yourself deemed outdated in your video).
- Based on the above, the moderator has "shady" motivations (pure speculation on your part).
- The moderator and you appear to have different interpretations regarding if changing the emulator game speed mid-run is a valid speedrun tactic.
- At some point your once friendly relationship with this moderator deteriorated into bickering, personal attacks, nationality bashing (note that you and this person have different native languages and are communicating via Google Translate, at least on his end).
This is less about the moderator's "shady" behavior in my eyes and more about the two of you having poor communication. It's easy to assume the worst of people, but there are many possible reasons this moderator did not immediately change the 100% category's rules to be 460 points. Maybe he wanted to do more research first (granted that these GameFaq guides were proven wrong and it also seems like you guys don't fully understand how changing game speed affects the game in general). What you could see as the moderator dodging the question, could be explained by things getting lost in translation.
I also don't know why you are so fixated over an old and outdated run (that literally says "FAIL" in the video title). Just move on and focus on improving standards for new runs going forwards. Remove the old runs from speedrun.com if desired since they did not get 460 points. It really feels like you started a witch hunt and burned a friendship over a run that was made when rules weren't even solidified, just let it go.
I would recommend these new rules if not already in place
- Require 460 points.
- Decide with this moderator if you want to ban or allow changing the game/emulator speed.
I appreciate the feedback. After looking at all the points you made, I agree with most of them. I'd like to delete this thread, but this forum won't let me. So I'll delete all my other posts, and leave this here.
@HowDoUPlay Or you could’ve just kept the tread for the future just in case anyone else wanted to see what to do.
Lol why do people delete their posts, if anything it makes them look worse But posting in the forums for the first time is scary but idk if it applies here since @HowDoUPlay does have other posts
It's @YUMmy_Bacon5 not @Yummy Bacon Do you really think I care about likes?😆 you tried to expose me but failed lol [quote=HowDoUPlay]Why post randomly on this thread?[/quote] I posted because I find it kinda dumb how people delete their posts when things don't go their way. And I don't need to know all the context since that's the only thing I said about
Now @HowDoUPlay - or someone - has just deleted his post trying to call us out
