It's not exactly because they are not "open" to it. It's because Glitchless on its own is simply very hard to define. Just throwing in a glitchless category on the boards and call it mod discretion is not going to work.

That is also to say : it's not because a category doesn't exist on a leaderboard that you can't run it for the sake of it ; If you wanna run, idk, no-dash% for example but the category doesn't exist, you can totally route it and run it for the fun of it. And who knows ? If the run is actually fun and other people start running it, maybe the category will be added ?
