Succinct I'm curious to know why you and some other members aren't too keen on the idea of having on screen timers? You said it puts the burden of proper timing on the runner, but isn't it more than likely that (correct me if I'm wrong) when the mods look at the submitted video they're probably making sure you've submitted the right end split? In case, as you said, you splitted wrong and the moment you paused the timer is different from your actual time. It's not like it's uncommon for people to split late by accident and, if anything, it would be causing you more problems than them. I assume the timers are also a big help for them on longer runs. Such as KH1 and 2 runs.

I do agree though that it's probably not the best to accept runs with large gaps between them. I know it's probably not the best to expect the worst from people, but there's always a possibility something fishy is actually going on. It more than likely wouldn't happen with a active, well known member, however, can you really say you'd accept a run with a bunch of large gaps from say a random guy you don't know? I don't want to sound harsh, but if the gaps adds up to minutes of missing gameplay then it's probably best not to accept it.

That's just my shitty two cents. Time to crawl back into my hole.
