i didn't accuse anyone, i stated a fact about the rules. "1 rogue mod can just make up a new rule that will keep him in 1st place."

exact words from said "mod" : "Yes. I set the standard for every single run that has a run." this is ridiculous. 1 rogue mod can just make up a new rule that will keep him in 1st place.

• i submit run, following all rules.
• mod messages me 10 minutes later and says rules have now changed.
• i ask mod if he is the "decider"
• mod says "Yes. I set the standard for every single run that has a run."
• mod threatens to just flat out reject the run instead of creating a new category

this is NOT a problem to anyone else? this sure is a bad look for the entire community. if 1 rogue mod can do this, why can't others? trust factor just went way down.

"Your account is less than 7 days old, you cannot message anyone" yeah. and i did send a message on a different platform. i took the minimum courtesy step. and it's not a new glitch. i saw the glitch on a tutorial from over a year ago. so yeah, i am understanding this now, the mods can do what they want and when they want even if it helps them keep the records in said game they mod... gotcha....

so much for convictions.

btw... i didn't claim it was abuse of power, i said it's a bad look on the entire community because it sure comes off as an abuse of power

"the mods can change rules when they need to", well, they didn't need to, unless it was only to keep a record.

so wait, when there's 2 mods on a game ... 1 of the mods can just do whatever he wants whenever he wants? i submit a run and then get a message saying "So I realize it’s not explicitly stated....." and ""I’ll be adjusting the rules descriptions"

aren't rules made to avoid things like this? they should be explicitly stated. I glitched the game, and it says glitches allowed. I glitched the game that allowed me to import custom into a brand new save.

when this "mod" has 18 of the 20 records .... and then changes the rules to make sure he doesn't have only 17 of the 20 records .... that's not a good look on the entire community .... gate-keeping? can't accept being 2nd place? no matter what it is, this exposes a bias, mods can change the rules on a whim so they keep records -- even if nobody agrees, they answer to no one.

Stranded Deep .... the only run i submitted ... any% .... i followed every rule:

• new game
• no starting crate
• glitches allowed
• etc...

I submit the run, and then received a message "So I realize it’s not explicitly stated....." and then proceeds to make up a new rule .... and then now the new rule is on the page... without asking anyone, without anything but his own opinion...

this is allowed? Mods can make up rules on the spot? that's quite fishy, especially when that rule is in his own interest

he has 95% of the records in this game ... and now I see why .... I took the record so he makes up a new rule to keep the record?

So I just came for the fun... I am not looking to take on a ton of new games but with that being said... I am already pretty disappointed... I noticed a game and a run that I can beat. I noted all rules for the game and the category and followed them 100% .... so the 1 mod who makes the decision is the current record holder that I beat, and they make new rules so my run all of a sudden doesn't qualify .... You guys let the mod be the 1 and only decider for the game? They get to make up rules as we go along so their run stays on top? .... Seems a bit gate keeper-ish to me..... Since I am new here, I'll ask ...... Is this normal? They let the mod who owns the record make up any rule they want at any time?
