Exploration Glitch, YBA, and oob are banned in NMG. I get that. I don't get why saving is as well. Even if the category is historically a single segment one, you could just call it SS NMG, which is shorter and more accurate then any% NMG; but nobody does that, so I'm wondering why its called any% NMG when it's not that.

Things that would be better: SS NMG, NMG no S+Q, NMG 0 0 0, NMG 000, N0M0G0, legacy%

legacy% isn't descriptive, but at least it implies there are other restrictions, which NMG doesn't.

I guess the same concept applies to 100%. There's no indication that saving would be banned, so having SS 100%, or 100% no s+q would help that.

I can't think of a game that specifies SS in the category title. For example, I'm pretty sure I remember Dime or Crate saying that Doom speedruns are only accepted if they're SS, but the leaderboards just say "UV Speed". There's also the list of "glitchless" categories that ban s&q (without specifying it in the category name) that I gave you on twitter. It wouldn't be a big deal to add two more letters, but it seems pretty unnecessary.

Bigger picture though, the category used to have a name that was specific and covered the ruleset (Any% No OoB/YBA/S&Q), but people said it was too long. Now the category has a shorter, easier-to-say name (with the rules specified in the rules section) and you want to make it longer and more specific. You kinda have to go with one or the other.

Doom SS is because pausing/dieing ends the demo, doom demos require no saving in that sense.

SS NMG is not too long. It's actually shorter than any% NMG.

Huh, I also noticed that 100% is basically a subset of SS NMG. I knew s+q was banned, but I had no clue about oob and yba. I thought the standard was "100% no eg no s+q" but I guess that's not the case.

Again, these misunderstandings can be cleared up by just stating these things and not hiding them. Also, why isn't there categories for 100% without the SS NMG restrictions? 100%, 100% no eg, and 100% SS NMG could all be quite interesting.
