Merging of the redundant categories
Mazowieckie, Poland

Hello!

It seems that there are 2 distinct Homecoming categories on the site: one in "Misc" under Full Game Leaderboard and the other in Level Leaderboard. Is it possible to move all the records to the latter category? This would be done in order to avoid any confusion related to those lists, as the rules are effectively the same for both. Because of it, there is simply no need to maintain the other list in Full Game Leaderboard.

There is a similiar story with "Free for All", although the records have already been migrated to "Impossible" category. Nonetheless, the obsolete list should be deleted from the Full Game Leaderboard

I had a discussion pertaining to this a while back before the leaderboards redesign. If I recall, the issue of moving those runs to the Level Leaderboards was it would be me submitting the run and not the original user. If that was fixed, or if it's alright to ignore it, then I'll move those runs over to the Level Leaderboards and remove the ones under Misc.

Annoyingly, I can't just change categories from Full Leaderboards to Level. I have to resubmit each run individually and include the information of the original submission. But that's just my gripe so let's just focus on if it's alright to submit runs under a mod's username.

I think it's fine. These runs were already submitted anyway, so having them marked as submitted by you shouldn't make much difference in the end. It will still be considered the runner's as normal, after all.

If you're still unsure, you could message each person on the homecoming leaderboard and either ask if it's okay or ask them to resubmit it themselves.

I think most of the runners in Homecoming are inactive and reaching out to some of them might be difficult.

I don't have any issue with you resubmitting them, as Winter_Doggo said, it wouldn't make much difference

Ok, I'll get around to it sometime today.

This should be all set now. I've submitted the runs from the Main Leaderboards to the Level Leaderboards and removed those categories from the Main. Notes and submission data are there as well.

When removing a category from the Leaderboard, there's a warning that all runs in that category are just gone. What I found out is if I reject a run, it's technically saved in the Moderation Hub (for whatever reason), so at least there's some safety if there's a need of moving records of runs.
