I have a rejected run that I didn't submit??

I don't even play Brawl Stars, yet I have this run submitted and rejected on my account somehow. What is this? (Note: I don't recommend clicking on the run if you don't want to get rick rolled)

The "run" was submitted by the user @Legitimacy. Since this is a co-op run that requires 3 runners, that user also inserted "_" and "__" in the names of the other runners as placeholders. Unfortunately, 1 underscore (you) and 2 underscores are exist accounts, and so this run was also linked to both of you.

I would say ignore it; but since @Legitimacy (awesome name in this context though) is probably gonna get banned for this run sometime, I just hope it will not affect you and @__ as well. In the slim case it is, you know why it happened and you could explain the situation to site staff. (But for now, ignore it)

Given that there is no confirmation required to attach a second player to a co-op run, I would think (and hope) that site staff wouldn’t ban someone just for having their name added. Otherwise you could intentionally get anyone on the site banned.

@Oreo321 The thing is, I've talked to some moderator friends and for the runs that require multiple people you can simply put any name in there without linking to any profiles, yet here it was linked to my profile.

If the name put into a co-op run exists as a profile it will automatically link to that profile. To put a single underscore without it linking one would need to use some sort of workaround, such as adding a flag or a space.
