I've realized that if a game has emulator runs hidden, while they are not present on the leaderboard, the ranks of the runs when viewed on the run's page or on the runner's page show the rank taking into account the emulator runs. I think this started happening with the UI changes earlier this year because it previously did not count hidden runs.

As an example, this run https://www.speedrun.com/ben10poe/runs/y6514rpz shows 4th on the run page but 1st on the category's leaderboard since the top 3 runs are emulated hence hidden.

I don't have a further point to make, just wanted to point out this apparent inconsistency because I remembered it acting differently.

This has been a thing for years, reason why most boards either ban emulators or create separate categories for them.

I don't even know why it's an option tbh, pretending that runs just don't exist is not a particularly good or fair solution
