SupporterHow come he shared screenshots, and talking about intentionally grabbing peoples e-mails?
So maybe he was doing it maliciously or in a warning way then. But at least it seems like he didn't grab people's IP addresses and other information?
No, I think that only the category and variables can be automatically selected by URL params.
And how do you want to use this link? Because a JavaScript bookmarklet could be created that automatically selects it for you.
If you're the moderator of a game, then you can do this, you just edit the "Player 1" input field and change it to the name of that person. You'd then select that person's SRC account or set them as an unregistered player.
If you aren't a moderator, then you'd have to ask one of that game's moderator(s) to do the above for you. You could ask them by submitting this player's run under your name and writting in the description of who you want the player changed to, or you could just message the moderator(s) about it and talk to them.
If they already have a SRC account, then I'd recommend that you get this person's permission before you submit their run, as they might not want it on the site. But if they're a popular YouTuber or something, then I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Also here's a tip: if an unregistered player's name is already taken by a SRC account on the site, then you can add two square brackets in front of their name "[]". This turns them back into an unregistered player. You can also add a country code between those brackets which displays a flag next to their name, this allows you to show where that player is from.
You can find a country code by finding the image of the flag you want on the site, and then by viewing that image's URL. The code is on the end of that URL.
I don't think that it's an emulator that you need anyway.
Since if you already have a PC, then you could just easily download the game and open it. But then you need someway to input into the game and control your character.
Maybe that could be possible if you programmatically remap your mouses to VR controls?
How are emulators meant to help you play the game if you don't have a VR?
Emulators are banned, as when you submit a run, it says they're banned.
This should do it.
On the site, open dev tools, and press the "Console" tab.
If needed, type "allow pasting" into the console and press Enter.
Afterwards, copy and paste the code below into it and press Enter.
This should update all the runs to add an LRT.
You can then turn off LRT in the game's settings.
(async () => {
const headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json" };
const session = await fetch("/api/v2/GetSession", {
method: "POST",
headers,
body: JSON.stringify({})
}).then(x => x.json());
const csrfToken = session.session.csrfToken;
for(let page = 1;; page++) {
const data = await fetch("/api/v2/GetModerationRuns", {
method: "POST",
headers,
body: JSON.stringify({
gameId: "w6j7x826",
limit: 100,
page,
search: "",
verifiedById: ""
})
}).then(x => x.json());
for(const run of data.runs.filter(x => x.verified === 0 || x.verified === 1)) {
const runEditData = await fetch("/api/v2/GetRunSettings", {
method: "POST",
headers,
body: JSON.stringify({
runId: run.id
})
}).then(x => x.json());
const updatedRun = await fetch("/api/v2/PutRunSettings", {
method: "POST",
headers,
body: JSON.stringify({
csrfToken,
autoverify: run.verified === 1,
settings: {
...runEditData.settings,
time: runEditData.settings.timeWithLoads || runEditData.settings.time
}
})
}).then(x => x.json());
console.log(`https://www.speedrun.com/${data.games[0].url}/runs/${updatedRun.runId} has been updated`)
}
if(page == data.pagination.pages) {
console.log("Completed");
break;
}
}
})();
I would post this in that game's Discord or forum. As these are the general forums for the site.
Yeah I know you want it turned off lol. And I wouldn't worry too much about what that text says. Since most of the time, changes like these are reversible.
You said that when you turn off LRT in game settings, all of the runs become orphaned?
If so, could you edit one of those runs to change its time from being under RTA to LRT? Once done, is this newly edited run orphaned with LRT times turned off?
I actually wouldn't call a Google Drive link malicious though? So I don't know why he said he was "testing" people and raising awareness? Maybe that was just an excuse of him forgetting to set the share settings to everyone with the link.
but also DPA rules
I don't think so.
As I think it was a Google Drive link that he sent? And when you can't access one of those links, there's a button you can press that lets you request access to the link. And Google Drive tells you that your email is sent over to allow for access.
history wiping streak
I think they're only trying to remove deleted videos?
Personally, I wouldn't remove runs which were once verified with a deleted video. But some moderators do, which I guess is a reasonable thing to rejected runs for. And I do agree that it does change the history of the leaderboard a bit.
Also the site rules don't specifically say anything about this but I know that it's fine to do.
If you don't want your runs rejected for this, then you could just reupload your video so it's no longer invalid and then resubmit or edit the run.
But these submissions are not being removed
It's difficult to know when a run's video gets deleted as the site as no automated tools to find out. And the moderator(s) might not be aware that their runs are now invalid.
If so, then you should tell the moderator(s) that their videos are invalid so they can rejected or reupload them. And if they don't fix their own broken videos, then they are in the wrong as this is unfair.
It was an awareness raising action, to show people that one unconspicuous link on the website can be used for malicious stuff
I would say you're in the wrong here.
You can make people aware by verbally telling them - instead of being the thing you were against. Since they trusted you to send a proper link.
The site rules say:
Intentionally submitting falsified runs is prohibited. This includes attempts to "test" moderators, which will likely get you banned.
Although you didn't submit a false run, you still tried to "test" people's knowledge on links - even if it was in good faith?
Ok nice. So what do you us to do about this lol?
If you think the moderator isn't very good, then you could submit a Support ticket to get the moderator removed and you added as one in their place.
Actually, the above might not happen as site staff normally don't kick out an entire moderation team
The Support ticket page can be found from Help > New ticket and you'd submit under "Become a moderator for an existing game". https://www.speedrun.com/support/tickets/new
You'd then explain why the moderator isn't good enough to be a mod. Preferably they might have broken the site rules or moderation rules. For example, not listening to the community.
Also your run being rejected for the video not being available is reasonable.
If you change the time back to LRT, and then turn off LRT times in game settings, does this run show on the leaderboard?
If so, then I might be able to cook up something that automatically changes all the run's times from RTA to LRT.
Have you requested to add this game to SRC?
Also sorry I thought you were a bot lmao
Edit: I actually don't think this is a bot lol
