More name colors sounds great, but animated name colors sounds very annoying, both to code (unless I've missed something and CSS3 is awesome enough to be able to do that) and to constantly look at.

while we're at the thing with names & colours, just a 2 colours name with no transition would be cool.

Being able to 'right click > Open link in new tab' runs on the "awaiting verification" page would remove a ton of wasted time. (Sorry if this has already been mentioned, I'm far too lazy to read through the 50+ pages of this!)

I timed the page opening 3 times and I got:

16.81, 10.93,12.04 (just using livesplit, not very accurate obviously)

Which averages out to around 13 seconds to load the page every time. If you have a large list of runs to approve, loading the page after every approval gets pretty tiring. If we could load the runs in a new tab, that would take away the wait every time by keeping the page open all the time.

Thank you for potential consideration!

@mav6771 Ctrl+click, though it automatically selects that new tab

No, because some people use locked posts as stickies. I believe supers can still delete posts for that game, and so they should be able to remove it. If it's obviously spammy you should report the account and then the site mods will take care of it. If you don't have an active super you should fix that problem first.

@Quivico Oh my goodness thank you so much.

not all locked threads are sticky like if someone asks a question and it gets answered they can lock the thread and the thread stays there for others users to see if they are searching but not necessary to put as a sticky if that makes sense

It's also not rocket science to delete posts. As I said, if there's a serious spam issue it's better to get the site mods/admins involved since they have far better tools for dealing with it (and they can also see firsthand the spam so they can ban the users involved).

Just because something is locked doesn't mean it needs to be deleted.

Or do not lock IMPORTANT threads, because a new answer is always possible.

But it is true that sometimes the threads are quickly locked. When they are locked, they go down everything. And there may be one person who did not necessarily have the same question as the other, but who is in the same theme. As a result, he is forced to create a new thread.

If it's not that easy, I think. Copy and paste the links of unnecessary threads into the "Bots deletion thread" would they work ?

That thread is to delete spam bots, not unwanted threads.

It was an idea.

It'd be nice if we could view rules on run pages instead of going back to the home page. For instance, I'm watching this Shrek Extra Large 100% run and wondering what the rules are as I watch it.

Edit: @SpiderHako but I'm a speeeeedrunnnerrr ;)

@Oxknifer opening a new tab is a thing

By the way, when someone @ mentions someone, can that be progreammed to actually leave a notification? Maybe when messages arrive...

I have a bit of input.

They may not be good, but I submitted some runs recently for Mario 64 and they both got Rejected by a mod. That's not the issue. The issue was that checking the "Rules" section for the category there was no mention about Emulator version.

So they're rejected for not being PJ64 1.6, but I thought it was all good because it wasn't mentioned in the rules, but upon further inspection it's hidden in guides, which I didn't think I needed because my emulator was already set up.

Anyway, a good change would be an appeal system for moderation rejections where you could contact the moderators and sort things out instead of re-submitting

@2Scrubby I’m not sure what rules you looked at, but it states clearly in the rules on the ”EMU” categories for SM64 what emulator versions are required. [quote=the EMU rules]Emulator-specific rules: -You must use either Project64 v1.6 or OpenEmu (for Mac users). All other emulators and versions (such as Mupen64 and Project64 v1.7 & v2.0+) are banned.[/quote] So maybe you looked at the rules for N64 or VC and didn’t see these rules. If there are multiple subcategories for a game, make sure to read the rules for the subcategory you’re submitting to.
