As in, the only reason your run is rejected is because you don't have a discord account or account to some other application / program?

okay, looking at his rejected runs list, I think I get the problem:

https://www.speedrun.com/run/z1355gwm https://www.speedrun.com/run/yjk3r3om https://www.speedrun.com/run/yo4j825m https://www.speedrun.com/run/zxvgp8qy https://www.speedrun.com/run/zxvkx68y

A) Runs were uploaded on a filesharing site C) Moderator for some reason didn't want to retime (and for run 4 download the file)

easy solution to this would be to a) create a youtube or twitch account and upload the runs there for example, run 3 isn't even watchable / verifiable anymore (bin expired 2 weeks ago) and C) replace the moderators for someone who isn't just going to assume the timer runs correctly / wants a timer on screen.

But to answer the title question: yes, yes they are allowed to reject a run if you don't make the video available, but no, they are not allowed to reject your run just because it's not uploaded to youtube/twitch. (but honestly, why not make an account on some video site instead of uploading to a filesharing service?)

/edit: replaced B) with C) because of auto-emoji. /edit2: (honestly I wish people would give more info in the first place and thus save me the trouble of diggin through their runs with the api)

@HowDenKing Said in https://www.speedrun.com/mcm_d2/thread/r624u , because of the registering steps in youtube&twitch, I can't register one account The 1st one is later accepted when I told the mod what the number mean 2nd one is not because the mod understands the rule different to how I do and what dictionarys allow(He ignored the "instructed or") 3rd = 2nd 4th = asked 5th = no timer

What exactly is your issue with registering for those sites? All you need is a valid email address to verify your account once it's set up and that's it.

Just use a fake email generator if you are out of accounts.

It asks for my phone, and keep saying it can't be used

You absolutely do not need to provide a phone number for Twitch, that's for two-factor authentication only.

Since I can't watch videos on twitch, I think I can't upload one there, either

is it a problem with bad internet then?

There are lots of places you can upload video to for instance YouTube. DailyMotion.com Vimeo.com Vidme.com Veoh.com Viddler.com Metacafe.com BitChute.com This is not rocket science a quick google and you would have found many of these.
