Romania[quote] The penalty for cheating should be immediate (but not irreversible) removal of all runs, public shaming, and being banned from submitting runs ever again. [/quote] While it's obvious that cheating definitely isn't cool, I feel like the punishments that you are suggesting are a little overkill. There have been cheaters in the past who admitted to cheating and after they did they started speedrunning legitimately; what you're suggesting would get rid of these people that want to redeem themselves as well. [quote] This way, the burden of figuring out which of the cheater’s runs are legit does not fall to game moderators [/quote] Most cheaters don't cheat every run that they submit, they only cheat one or a few at most before getting caught, so while it is fair to ban them for cheating it's not fair to also discredit them from every run they ever submitted without checking if they're legit or not.
[quote] Tagging people never sent notifications. [/quote] I think it would make more sense if it did tbh.
I've gotten to a point where speedrunning doesn't really benefit me in any way anymore, whenever I try to come back and do a run I get frustrated after 30 minutes of my runs dying over and over to the same trick, and especially now that I make a decent amount of money for my age I couldn't care less about being one of the best in a game, I'd rather spend that time improving my other skills that I actually need instead. I still do follow the community though, I'm still implicated in it, I'm still active in the game that I used to run in the discord server and I'm obviously still active on the forums whenever I got spare time, but I came to the conclusion that simply speedrunning isn't the thing for me anymore.
[quote] Sounds boring [/quote] It wouldn't be boring at all, I want it to be added honestly cuz I'd much rather have a box where I can type whatever I want than have to select between 3 pronouns. [quote] I would prefer to see my message box notifications get fixed first [/quote] That being said however, I too would prefer seeing message notifications (and messages as a whole) get an overhaul.
[quote] 13 is the best number [/quote] Interesting choice since 13 is widely accepted as an unlucky number because of Friday 13th.

I don't speedrun anymore. I lost the motivation for it and now I don't have time for it even if my motivation would come back.
[quote] Also I love to watch music. [/quote] You love to watch music? Damn.
A box where you can type anything you want instead of just having pronouns, kinda like the status box on Discord.
I don't want to sound mean or anything, I appreciate that you like this change but was it really needed to make yet another thread about it? The forums have been "flooded" recently with threads regarding the new Mod Hub (there's already 2 threads plus Meta's) and I feel like it makes the forum a lot more cluttered especially when you could've just posted in @Meta 's thread.
