Can't create a guide for a game, even though I have multiple verified submissions?

When I'm trying to create a guide for any game I have a verified run for, I get an error message saying I "don't have permission to create guides for this game". This hasn't been the case in the past. What's going on?

It appears that there is a new silent update - only game moderators can add new guides, apparently. You can edit guides if you created them before this new update.

Edit: I'd like to point out to Elo, that if this was done intentionally, then this is a really bad decision. Runners can help in finding and improving routes, tricks, skips, game mechanics and so on; and the guides section is the right place to post those. I don't see how allowing only game-moderators to post guides will help anyone.

I might understand if it will be required of the runner to have a verified run first (like the requirement before adding new game-resources). But not completely locking them out.

Hi there, thanks for the report. This change was not intentional. We're making some under-the-hood changes in advance of upcoming feature releases and a bug snuck through - we'll fix it today.

This should be fixed, now allowing verifiers or normal users with a PB in the game to create guides.

[quote]Having a features allowing mods/verifiers to verify guides before they're added would be good.[/quote] That's one of the upcoming mod tools that will be added in the next major update. Guides and resources will also be merged into a single "Guides and Resources" tab.
