Maybe it should only give 1 notification per post, even if I @ the person multiple times, so saying, "@Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor @Lor " would give 1 notif And if the user decides to make multiple posts in a row, each only containing @Lor, that's something that our spam detector should pick up on

Can you tag this as a webgame please?
there are so many bots with "online" in the name that the search bar didn't find them all. now that they've been cleared out, I got some more

Putting this in a separate post so that people see it: A lot of the bots I'm finding are putting the website link in the section for other social media profiles, so if you see a suspicious account without a website, check their other socials. I've seen advertisements linked in twitch, speedrunslive, youtube, and twitter. You can also use inspect element to find out what is linked on the profile without going to the site.
The site also needs some sort of inactivity filter, maybe one that automatically removes accounts if they:
- Haven't logged into the site since the day they joined
- Haven't submitted a run or made a post
- Haven't been online in a month

I kind of agree with both of you, but the way a community handles moderation depends on a lot of factors. Games like minecraft that are extremely popular and very difficult to time and verify need moderators that are exceptionally qualified and willing to devote a lot of time to the game, while smaller or older communities are willing to allow self-verification and allow people without moderation experience to be part of the team. However, for a game this small, it isn't necessary to have as strict a ruleset as mc, nor is it necessary to ban self-verification or have a large and experienced moderation team. There's only one runner so far.
A good program for timing runs is livesplit https://livesplit.org/ The standard software for recording/streaming is OBS, but there are also several other good screen capture softwares that work well. If you need help setting up, you can go to https://www.speedrun.com/streaming_recording_equipment/forum The rules for a game can be found by going to the page for that game and clicking on the "view rules" button at the top of the page. You can find guides, tips, and tricks in the resources or guides section on the sidebar.
Edit: forgot to say this, but welcome to the site! Each game also has a forum where you can ask questions, and you can always join the game's discord server if it has one.
i also deleted my original donor account (i promise)
@GoosePlays20 never add random people as moderators. You are giving people who don't know anything about the game power and control of the leaderboard. Only add people who
- run the game (right now it's only you, so you don't need to worry about adding mods)
- are trustworthy
- are willing to be a moderator (mod isn't a rank or a status, it's a job and not everyone is willing to devote a lot of time to a leaderboard even if they run it. Only add someone as a mod if they tell you that they want to be one)

This user has no website or posts, but they are definitely an advertisement/bot https://www.speedrun.com/user/bestcakephpteam/info https://www.google.com/search?q=cake+php
If the fact that I've reported nearly 50 bots today doesn't convince the site mods that we need to upgrade the spam filter, I don't know what will.
@Lieutenant_Boo "McGee" is kinda
the theory behind it is that normal people don't make accounts with their full name

How to find bots that haven't advertised:
- go to search and type any common first name
- find a user who has a common first name and last name
- like 80% of the time it's a bot
If someone doesn't have a badge by their name how can you tell if they are an original donor
why are all of the bots named carolyn? https://www.speedrun.com/user/carolynghall https://www.speedrun.com/user/carolynthomas23
