Is it possible for someone to add A+ Start's 11 exit run to this?

I thought someone already did.

EDIT: A+Start’s run is not on the boards.

why do so many people care about this? if he wants his personal best on the boards, he can add it himself

But he doesn't know about the site. Plus Volpey you used to be a mod

I bet if his time ended up 54th on the leaderboard, he would personally thank everyone on these forums for your hard work. You'd get personally shouted out on his next video "thanks so much to ay underscore ecks ecks Ezra B ecks ecks ecks underscore bee and jammy thirty-four for helping me get my time on an important leaderboard."

If a mod wants it on the board, then they'll put it on the board.

I think the boards should be as accurate as possible for any game and that is why there is the option for a mod to add someone else's run(s).

It's not unheard of that someone may not want their runs posted to a leaderboard. Mods have added runs to leaderboards before (and not just this game specifically) without the permission of the runner and they were not pleased and asked to have them removed. It becomes a situation in which some perceive as crossing the line and I've seen a few get pretty angry about it.

I don't think making the leaderboards "as accurate as possible" overrules the wishes of someone. It's their run. If they want it on the leaderboards, they can submit it. If they don't, then that's perfectly fine. People can have whatever reason they want for not having it on here and that choice needs to be respected.

It's kinda dumb to get mad over something like that that hurts literally no one and attention is only brought to it when they get mad and make a big deal about it. It's also a bit greedy to only hoard a bunch of runs to yourself (Especially World Records) with easily accessible proof the run happened (In that case just keep the run as a private video or keep it on your computer). With normal runs someone could think they got top 20 but are actually 21st or 22nd because the leaderboards are inaccurate so it just creates a new category of "Speedrun.com blankth place" and with World Records it would suck to think because you mainly only look at runs on just this site you'd think you have a World Record on something but later realize you're actually 5 seconds off or you actually see the real World Record on YouTube but assume it isn't on Speedrun.com because it's faked, spliced, cheated, etc. and then find out you actually only have 2nd place.

Hi All, new to the community (- first post!) so not gonna wade in the an opinion, just bump some information. i've been reading through the smw forums recently getting a feel for the community etc and a few months back there was a thread https://www.speedrun.com/smw/thread/0mbxl From what I can gather at the time of the post the world record was on speedrun.com against the wishes of the runner, although the name and video were redacted. (it's currently still on the boards 2nd place low%) Don't know which approach is right, just thought that might be relevant.

That was a run that was on the boards for a long time and was taken down by the runner because the name of the category was changed. If it's known by the community that a world record run is valid, then the decision may be made to add it as anonymous so as to keep top times accurate but not go against the wishes of the runner. In this case, Andy's run isn't a top time and he's never submitted it in the first place so there's no reason to submit it for him. (Trust me, there's plenty more runs that exist that aren't on the leaderboards. Not just his)
