Hello fellow speedrunners,

As the moderation team of the 'It Steals' speedrunning forum, we are excited to share with you the new ruleset that has been added for the game. These rules are designed to maintain a fair and competitive environment for all participants, ensuring the integrity of speedrunning competitions.

The new rules cover various aspects, including prohibiting cheating through exploiting game files or memory to gain unfair advantages, providing guidelines for fair and limited usage of macros, requiring in-game audio as evidence of genuine speedruns, ensuring consistent frame rates for accurate timing, requiring video proof of full level coverage, and providing essential guidelines for retiming speedruns.

We would like to emphasize that these rules have been implemented after careful consideration and are aimed at upholding the integrity and competitiveness of speedrunning in the 'It Steals' community. Please note that any runs submitted prior to the addition of these rules on [16/04/2023] will not be subject to these new guidelines, as they have already been reviewed.

We want to thank everyone for their recent speedrunning activity and dedication to the game. We hope to see more exciting runs in the future and encourage all runners to familiarize themselves with the new rules to ensure fair and transparent competition.

Good luck to all runners, and happy running!

Best, The It Steals Speedrunning Forum Moderation Team
