RomaniaAdd a system to make users be able to have followers. I know what you will all say, sr.c isn't a social media and if I want such a thing I should instead use Instagram or Snapchat etc., but it's honestly never a bad addition to have, really. I would much rather see runs of my followed runners on the main page instead of seeing every run from all my followed games.
Maybe there is like a 5% chance that I'm misremembering but I'm 95% sure that themes became available for free at the same time that gradients and badges did.
When I signed up my account in mid 2020, I tried to edit my theme. Did not work. It brought me to the donation tab. Then, I started looking for dozens of random names that I would see on the forums or on the main page just to double check. I noticed that only those who had the donator badge also had themes on their profiles, one of the first users that I remember visiting is @4, and he had a theme but he also had the donator badge. [quote=Quivico] Can confirm profile themes were always free. Mine dates back at least to 2018. [/quote] But you donated to the site, of course you would have access to it.
[quote] My white+black longcats background was one of the first things I did when joining the site, around late 2019. [/quote] That.. is not true. ELO made them free sometime during mid November 2020 and I know for a fact that I noticed the change on the 18th of November. Now it might not be the exact day when it was changed, but it's close, but there is no way they were made free during late 2019 since I made my account in mid 2020 and they were paid.
It wasn't always available to everyone, before ELO bought the site you had to donate in order to unlock themes, badges and gradient colored names. ELO changed that though and made it free for everyone.
Did Dream get banned on the entire website? No. Did he cheat (at least) 2 runs in RSG? Yes.
I'm just going to refer to my post from a thread I made a few weeks ago as I find that to be probably the best solution to all of this. [quote=Hi] Instead of getting banned from the website as a whole, what if you could separate getting banned on the forums from getting banned from submitting runs? what could be done instead is ban that person just from the forums while allowing them to still submit runs, and viceversa too; if there's a player that cheated in the past they should get banned from the leaderboards but still be allowed to talk on the forums. [/quote] A cheater, while breaking the moderators' trust, doesn't deserve to be put in a read-only state forever in my opinion, I feel like that's just a little too much.
[quote] I’ve never changed mine. [/quote] Just one question: how.
[quote] cheaters should be marked. easy as that. [/quote] That could work, but what I would "prefer" instead (from one point of view) is that moderators or Super Mods of a game or series to get the ability to ban a user from their leaderboard and/or series (not just reject every run they submit, that isn't really banning) so that the person doesn't get the chance to submit runs anymore. Then, after the said user gets banned, it would show on their profile in the Info tab or whatever that they are banned from the X leaderboard for the reason of cheating (or any other reason). But again this is another suggestion that in theory it sounds good but in practice not so much.
[quote] In the system I am proposing if a cheater is unbanned, their runs are reinstated. [/quote] Sounds good in theory but in practice it might be hard to achieve that, since the code would have to check for every user, find if they are banned, then check if the reason was for cheating, and either hide their runs or delete them temporarily (in which case they might be vulnerable to losing their account altogether because of name changing). Then, if they get unbanned, the code has to again check for every user and see if there was anyone banned specifically for cheating that isn't banned anymore, and only then it can unhide the runs. I think that might be pretty tedious to program if you ask me.
