Yeah, found it weird that Niki is banned, she prob broke a site rule without knowing, @Ranboo you can always remind her that she can appeal to figure things out! support@speedrun.com

Best of luck!

@Kai. I dont think she broke a rule as all she been doing is posting speedruns and chatting with people.

@Walgrey The person who made this thread:

https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/kkviz

My guess is that she was impersonating the person in her linked YouTube channel.

I think that she as banned for impersonating someone, but maybe it is the real one. They self promoted, bragged about their follower count, and claimed to have a world record in google snake without evidence. They also have 5 runs on their profile, so maybe they cheated.

Edit: turns out that it was a troll. Now I'm suspicious of the Ranboo and Awesamdude accounts

Ranboo did create a speedrun channel with a hidden sub count, kinda strange

Interesting that @Nihachu and @Ranboo joined at the same time and use the same profile icon.

Is it just me or does anyone else see that in Pear's comment, @Ranboo is not shown as banned despite @Nihachu being shown accurately? I wonder if it's based on who was banned at the time of the comment.

You're not the only one, its prob based on who was banned at the time of the comment.

Mentions in posts (the @'s) are certainly based on the state of the user at the time of making/editing the post. Appart from the banned/unbanned state, they also seem to keep the color the mentioned user had at the time, even if the user changed it afterwards.

@MrMonsh They even keep the color if the mentioned user later deletes their account.

@hahhah42 That does make sense given how they currently work, yet I'm still surprised by that. Thanks for the info!
