The DM mentioned word for word that it was a preference unlike the rules.
@DD_Gamingz unfortunately there's no official updates on anything since ELO took over, anything we got is speculation (besides that one forum post + one in each major thread prior saying 'use the support hub instead of this thread'). There might be some way to use the speedrun.com api and/or a discord bot that uses it, but it's likely you'll just have to make a thread looking for runners from the country in question and hope that people respond.
@GoldenSpaghettiHoop When you say 'ignore' do you mean don't instantly respond? The mods get a buttload of messages per day, give them 1-2 weeks to respond to it.

@ShadowDraft you might wanna mention that you need the link to the image address, not the place the image is on, this took me way too long to figure out.
Add the game download to resources, and please ping me when leaderboards are set up >.> I want to do a run when it is lol

For a stream, you need to make a highlight so it isn't deleted. You can submit a link to something w/ a timestamp if it's an unedited youtube video. I'll add a quick section to the FAQ thread: https://www.speedrun.com/speedrunning/thread/pt010
Check out section 21 of the FAQs https://www.speedrun.com/speedrunning/thread/pt010 and please ask this in the SMO forums.
