Regarding the above: I want to make this evidently clear, a decision will not be made today, tomorrow, or likely this week. Please remember people do have responsibilities outside this community, including myself. Accumulating evidence and gathering testimony will take time. Please be patient during this time.

how would we prove people arent using turbo controllers for runs?

Florida, USA

A very fair point and something thats being investigated. We are trying to avoid requiring handcam, as I feel this will place a level of tedium on running most will not want to partivipate in. Counting frames as shown in the video is also a possibility if, and only if, it cannot be recreated with human input.

If you, or anyone, has any suggestions on this please feel free to discuss. One of the results of this investigation is to difinitely define the position of turbo on the leaderboard and how to verify it.

I dont run LBG so take this as you would like.

From the info given in the Shepard investigation I'm in favor of allowing turbo controllers same way as games like Minecraft (ik its different but still) allows F3 and has a checkmark for F3/No F3 or performance mod/no perf mod. Even if it gives a competitive edge you can simply sort runs by Turbo/No turbo.

Thats just my 2 cents anyway.

japanese players turbo was used in mario speedruns in the swim levels but they didnt remove their runs from leaderboard, they just put in parenthesis (turbo used) to let people know. maybe mhr leaderboards could do the same?

Regarding the allegations of cheating: this is still under review. I have been working on the draft and looking into more information. My goal is to have the decision published this weekend. Thank you to everyone who has been assisting in the investigation. Your commitment to this community is much appreciated.

Hey Jagel, I don't want to sound like I'm trying to pressure things up but is there any result or update about the situation? 2 weeks have passed and I was thinking if there was a conclusion that I was unaware of 🤔

Florida, USA

No conclusion yet. I ask you (and others) remain patient. Unfortunately work and life have been pretty busy. I havent had ample time to address this.
