I made some changes today and edited them to my original post (under the "Edit:" part). Be sure to read them as it contains information about IL subcategories and it also explains why you may have received notifications of old runs being rejected or verified recently. As always, if you have questions about this please let me know.

As you all may know, Identity Fraud got updated recently and maze 2 was made much longer. This meant that new runs would never be able to compete with runs done on older versions. So, there is now a new subcategory specifically for the new version of Identity Fraud, labeled "Maze 2 Update".

I have switched all runs on previous versions to the "Original/Revamp" subcategory. While I was doing this, I found a lot of speedruns in which the video was set to private and was made unviewable. I will soon be rejecting these runs because it is impossible to currently verify them, and I can't just "vouch" for them if I slightly remember watching them before. So, if you see that your speedruns have been suddenly rejected, do not panic; just make the video viewable and then it will be verified.

Edit:

I have also added the Maze 2 Update subcategory to the Maze 1 and Maze 3 ILs since they are both different after the update (the Maze 1 button cannot be clicked from the side anymore and Maze 3 has two entrances and the morse code cannot be obtained beforehand).

I also have rejected any runs that were not viewable, but I will verify them as soon as the video is made viewable and resubmitted (I have also added a rule to clarify why this is is the case). Additionally, since I created a new subcategory, a lot of runs got "orphaned" and I had to re-verify or re-reject them. So, if you received a lot of notifications about your runs being rejected or verified, know that nothing was really changed and the status of the run is the same, just that the subcategory got updated (unless you made your run private after it got verified, in which case it is now rejected due to not being viewable).

(End edit)

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

I might look into editing the rules for this category (especially the timing part) but for now this category will stay up in case anyone wants to try it. This category was added without me knowing by another mod that no longer is a mod for this page, but it is a solution to the title screen thing so it will stay. For now I'm going to fix the spelling mistakes in the rules and then think about the exact rules when I have more time.

I have updated some of the rules for Maze 1 and for Individual levels as a whole. For more information see the mod note and my post in the "Level category stop times" thread.

I've updated the rules for maze 1 to be a bit clearer. Since it can be hard to determine the exact moment a player touches the floor of maze 2, the run will be considered over when it is clear that at least half of the player's body is in maze 2. For example, the attached screenshot below indicates that the player is in maze 2 because at least half of their screen is in maze 2. If there are any questions about this rule or if you think I have made a mistake in the timing of a run with respect to this new rule, please message me.

Also, the "Assist" subcategory has been added to the Individual Levels since some runs had players opening doors for the runner which allowed a time save that solo players did not have access to. Runs featuring this strategy have been moved to the Assist subcategory.

The rules are now updated and have answers to all of these.

Timers are helpful but not required. Moderators check the time submitted and retime if necessary, so a timer is not needed.
