Recently after the hyperoptimization of runs (mainly from uchihatasu and admirooo, uchi pushing it under 3:15), some new strats involving the fling tech previously used at the ladder on 02 has been found and implemented in other places, as seen in this run. I highly recommend you watch it as it gives context to this post.

Timestamps of the new strats: (1), (2), (3)

There are conflicting opinions on what to do regarding this, as it's a pretty grey area and it's unclear whether it should be allowed or not. Some options are allowing it, moving it to Inbounds, splitting the category, and disallowing the tech at all.

As you may or may not have seen, me and VentureMatic have been added to the mod team today, as prolert (a standing supermod) reached out to us and offered us the position. This means we have the power to make a change (or at least discuss one).

I'd like to start an incentive for some community discussion revolving this subject because we don't want to make a decision based on only our own opinion.

So, please feel free to leave your own take on this below

flings are not glitchless :3

if ladder fling in 02 is glitchless, these flings are also glitchless

classify it as a glitch and move any runs using it to inbounds/any%

I agree with vizu

Discussed further in the ROBLOX Speedrunning Discord, all runs with flings have been moved to Inbounds - as of today, any runs with fling strategies such as the ladder / trashcan flings are not permitted in Glitchless
