Timing start and game start rule
The timer should start after the loading bar disappears after fresh game start, and yes every run should have the same ruleset as WRs currently have. Old runs can be retimed by adding however many seconds it takes from loading bar disappearance to control gain. (If the time it takes is inconsistent then the cutscene skip is the best option). Regardless all runs should require fresh game start.
Accidental cheats should never be allowed, as they may affect the game in unforeseen ways. There are ways to avoid this from happening, so there is no reason to accept it.
Runs with no video
If a run was verified at the time of submission it should be given the benefit of doubt and in my opinion it should not be removed from the leaderboard. Of course broken urls should be fixed if possible, or be replaced with mirrored videos if they exist. Perhaps a comment can be added to the run entries to clarify that there was a verified video but it is now unfortunately unavailable.
You can filter the leaderboard by platform.
There should be a way to see all the posts you have liked.
There should be requirements laid out for who should be allowed to vote.
The wr is not impossible to beat, if it were, ifruit wouldn’t be banned.
