Please require proof for runs

It's rediculous that people that work their ass off grinding runs can be beaten by people without proof. Please at least have a maximum barrier for runs without proof.

less than half of the runs have no videos, so either they should show split times or have a video

People like me can't post my splits cause I use msplit on my phone, but I enter data here, if it's like way back in the pack then it should be ok

Apologies for the late response.

While I understand your concern, I'd like to find a compromise between the need for proof and the issue of recording handheld gameplay. I'm not sure how well the idea of requiring full video proof past a fixed time barrier would work. Perhaps something could be done with splits and/or sample gameplay?

As for Marv specifically (since I assume that's who you're referring to), he's a well-established member of the Mario Kart community. He has a solid Time Trial timesheet, and is one of the best MK7 players in the world, having held numerous WRs. I know this isn't solid proof of his MKDS speedrun, but it is a form of "soft" proof.

Sorry for answering a one year old topic, but I think Epicallytossed and derek31047 are true, this leaderboard have no value. 20% of run have a video, this is ridiculous (I've checked). I don't know how many run have a proof like a screenshot without video, but I can assume only 40% of all run have a proof. People can say "recording a DS is pretty hard", and I understand, but at least they can at least take a screenshot of their score and post it in the comments (posting split isn't a proof). It would be a real improvement, even if you keep noproof run.

So I've been thinking we should make it so that if your time is under a certain time you need proof, or maybe if you're a 10th place or lower you need proof. Anyone think this is a good idea?

It's really not that hard to take a picture but if people would prefer it to move the proof verification to top 10, let me know.
