I would like to be able to report users should they do something like steal videos/runs and claim them as theirs. This has happened twice to games I moderate for and needs to stop. One incident was with Gears of War 3 where Jumpy stole ACLive's video and even put a better time to try to be 1st place. He did the same in The Binding of Issac where he stole Yama's run and tried to be 3rd place.
Now I deal with someone who submits a run for Perfect Dark XBLA Perfect Agent Any% that is actually the WR holder's video for the N64 version. The user who did it is RayanIsran and I don't even know how anyone can mix the two versions. One is clearly HD and the other is well old gen graphics.

I like this idea but for a long time to come, I imagine the only way to combat this is to just reject the run.
I'm not saying don't suggest it because I think it's a great suggestion, just that expect it to take quite a while.
You might just have to settle for posting here on the forums or contacting the srcom team for now.
I guess they could change the Bot Reporting thread to General Reporting.
I know Gyoo and Lighnat0r respond to their tweets, so Twitter works for PMing until they implement it to the site. I'm certain Twitch would work too.
Deleted the first account and registered a dummy account, since it appears to be a bad attempt at impersonation. Second guy is banned.
Note: Can't always global ban people for being dumb, but these are pretty obvious cases.
Will look at making a thread soon, but I would like to give some general guidelines along with that. In the meantime feel free to handle these wherever on the "The Site" board (here), we read all the threads in this forums; I also regularly check my Twitch PMs.
Not much to talk about really. Likely they used Google to search "how to report speedrun.com accounts", got this thread as a result and didn't catch that it was old.
There is etiquette about necroposting but I don't think I remember seeing anything about it in the site rules.
And it's doubtful the site will implement any automated system to lock old threads but you can always suggest it in the feedback lol thread and maybe the powers that be will take lol notice.
Exactly @6oliath
The constant need for various members (not just you Garsh) to post needlessly about necro'ing is far more annoying than the necro itself. At least the necro poster (usually) is contributing to the topic, albeit years later.
As long as the post is on topic, necroposting isn't usually a big deal, since the thread getting bumped is still relevant. The problem with necros is that it clutters the forum with unnecessary threads. However, just commenting "lol dead chat" or giving game suggestions to users who haven't logged into the site in years is just stupid.
