You get a WR! You get a WR! Everybody gets a WR! (SR.com bug)

The notifications i get for Factorio are falsely claiming that literally every new run is a new WR, which is obviously untrue.

For example the top run in the screenshot is not a real WR, see the category: https://www.speedrun.com/factorio?h=Any_MP&x=wkpjq9wk

Well technically it’s a wr if it’s first place on the leaderboard.

And there are 8 people.

It is not first place on the leaderboard. In fact I hold 1st place in that category, with a run that is 23 minutes faster.

My bad. Is it that not all variables are filled out?

There is no obvious or hypothetical reason I can see.

Same thing has been happening with donkey kong country 1/2/3 boards and when I click on the run it shows properly at 7th place or w/e. Doesn't happen with every run so I'm not sure what's causing this. (first case was 3 days ago)

My suspicion is that it notifies it as a WR if it is the fastest run for that specific combination of run data. That would mean the first/fastest run of any day automatically becomes a WR for notifications since it's the only one with that specific combination of variables + date(+ maybe name?). So far that has been true for every run I've checked.

Thanks for the report, we're investigating this (and a related issue) and will have them fixed soon.
