god i hate r/speedrun
This decision (that we made years ago btw) was done to circumvent a limitation of this amazing website. It is not possible to have different categories for different ILs, but it makes no sense to differentiate between glitched and glitchless in a run where the optimal run is glitchless. Therefore, a workaround had to be put into place.
The more contentious part in my mind is illumina submitting 1ms runs. Personally, I disagree with doing this, but I understand why it happened. Making something more clear is definitely not a bad thing. (My qualms are just the principle of having runs that didn't happen on the leaderboards)
ShadowLugia mentioned to me the idea of having different ILs for glitched and glitchless for categories where the distinction matters, and while I'm personally not a fan of the idea, it probably would make the IL leaderboard look better. However, in my mind, the only way to solve this problem is to have pac implement a way to have different categories for different ILs.
I think illumina has given enough context in reddit, so I won't bother leaving a "response" there.
