I was going through The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ game on here, and I noticed that someone submitted a run for the 7-character category. They only played it with Isaac and none of the other characters. The specific category rule states "Beat The Chest and enter the chest that drops after the boss, as Isaac, Maggy, Cain, Judas, Blue Baby, Eve, and Samson, in any order. (These are the original 7 characters.)"
However the run was beaten under 10 minutes, and it was about one of the challenges that cannot reach a single chest. I would like the run to be removed somehow, because it doesn't follow the rules, nor does it achieves the goal. I will link the run first, and the user after the run. Afterwards, I'll link the moderator. https://www.speedrun.com/afterbirthplus/run/y898w6dm https://www.speedrun.com/user/_Falke_ https://www.speedrun.com/user/Hyphen-ated
Thanks for reading.
"Game doesn't require verification."
There's your issue, take it up to the mods instead of posting it in the general forum.
Surprisingly, there are benefits. The most important one is it gets runs up faster. Moderators (that actually care) check runs as they are on the boards, and can remove runs afterward if they want. It also means that obscure things which moderators might not spot might get caught quicker as there are more people looking over them.
It's also useful in cases of inactive mods, but that's a different problem unto itself. At least with inactive mods it keeps the boards going.
Why is not requiring verification an available option, anyway? - Because community verification is more accurate than moderation team verification anyway.
Keep in mind that TSA, Kryssstal, Exo, Todd Rogers, and Billy Mitchell got past verification. It was the community who caught them out as cheats.
That's a horrible argument, verification is there to provide a first line of defense against runs slipping through, its not a guarantee. The fact that it is not bulletproof doesn't invalidate it. What about all the runs that aren't at the very top or infamous, are they going to receive the same level of communal scrutiny? Verification is already a community effort anyway, when something is questionable and uncertain a discussion usually occurs.
