What does verified mean?

So all the categories have a column called Verified and then people select Yes or No. What does this mean?

United States

I am new here, so don't judge me.

if a run is verified with a video, it says yes because the mods knew you did it. if it says no, the run is deemed sketchy. dunno why they don't just reject it, someone fill me in on this

no, it's not just the video. you see, e.g. cheese's current wr isn't verified, but we all know exactly, he did it.

i do think, it has just something to do with lag-frame-counter and re-timing, which hasnt been done yet obviously. maybe it's half a second faster/slower, we'll see after verifying. it will stay wr for sure, but maybe just not at THAT time, because livesplit is only as good as the player, so if he has delay splitting, it kind'a "fakes" the end-time, which doesnt have to mean, the runner cheated or something... :)

ah, I didn't mean just the video, just the whole run in general seems sketchy and/or isn't verified yet

also, there are some legacy runs from pre-2010 where the VODs are nowhere to be found

Verified is something we talked about implementing for a long time. The way it's currently implemented isn't so great, since ideally it would be an option only the mods would see. Basically, it's a way to put runs on the lbs that don't meet quality standards. Just for the record, "Verified" doesn't mean the run has been cleared of all possible cheating, and similarly "not verified" doesn't say anything about the legitimacy of the run, just that it doesn't meet the quality standards. Examples of runs that would be not verified: choppy recordings, recordings that aren't one segment, no vod runs that were grandfathered in from 2015 or earlier, recordings with no audio, etc.
