ValhallaStarting today, every category is going to have its evidence requirement changed. Listed below are these changes.
-
Classic: Video evidence is required for all classic runs.
-
All Star: Top 5 requires video evidence, the rest can be a screenshot of the IGT on the Final Results screen. Existing top 5 runs with screenshot evidence will not be retroactively removed.
-
All Challenges: Video evidence is required for all All Challenges runs.
-
Unlock All Characters: Video evidence is required for all UAC runs.
-
1v1 Ironman: Video evidence is required for all Ironman runs.
-
10/100-Man Smash: Top 5 requires video evidence, the rest can be a screenshot of the IGT at the Results screen. Existing top 5 runs with screenshot evidence will not be retroactively removed.
This is a change I've wanted to implement for a long long time. To be transparent, in the past we've had alts and fake runs posted to the board with no video evidence to prove this outside of doing some snooping on the speedrun.com accounts themselves. There's also been numerous newly created accounts in the past that've submitted and only submitted to this game without evidence as well. This change is being implemented partly because of this and to up the quality of the leaderboard itself. Having large parts of a board with no proof at all does not look good. No proof makes a good portion of the board pointless when a lot of runners' times can't be held accountable because there's nothing to prove or disprove a time they got, lessening the quality of the board.
Whether or not runs without proof will stay up is still somewhat up in the air, and if anyone has good reasons why they should stay, I'm all ears. As it stands, these proof-less runs can't be legitimately verifiable and can only be speculated upon. Other 3DS boards are able to handle proof requirements just fine with categories several times longer than most of smash's, so I think we can do the same.
I'm assuming you requested a ROBLOX game? If that's the case, I'm also assuming the game page you were sent was the series page https://www.speedrun.com/roblox if not, that's what was meant to be sent so you could send your game request through the series page there
Care to elaborate? There are no runs in the queue so I can only assume you mean when it comes to responding to forum posts
I'd say with the amount of profiles on speedrun.com it wouldn't really be too rare, it's not something like the size of Minecraft or XBL where pretty much everything is snatched up already
I think it'd be good to allow people with accounts that are less than a week old to be able to see messages sent to them on the site. Since messaging on the site became a thing, I've had a handful of new people that I've needed to message but can't, whether it be for asking them a question/establishing a dialogue with them or needing to give them a heads up on a matter that directly affects them and their submissions. These incidents I've had are with people that haven't put any social media on their profiles and submit with either a platform I can't contact them on/I have to make my own account (like Instagram) or go with picture proof. I can't think of a downside to at least having new users be able to see a message to try and inform them about something and/or send them my own contact info to get in touch with and it'd be nice to not have to jump through extra hoops to get a hold of a new user.
@g0goTBC The board must've used time in milliseconds at some point and then checked it off which only hides the milliseconds, a moderator would need to turn it back on and remove the milliseconds from any runs that still had milliseconds in their submissions
It looks like Stadia was added yesterday, shows up under "Show obscure platforms"
Yes skip that scene, the rules simply mean that those scenes count towards your time considering you’re in-game
With an account that's minutes old, I would suggest focusing on speedrunning first and foremost before you try to jump into anything regarding moderation
No worries :) to see the queue as a non-moderator you'd have to use the API https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/runs?status=new&game=76r43l18&max=200 (seeing the actual run links you can use ctrl + f "/run/" to get the urls and they're sorted oldest on top to newest on bottom)
My response wasn't an attack, when submitting a run at the bottom of the submission it tells you that it may take 1-3 weeks and I was just stating the time you submitted your run in comparison to the time it generally takes for a run to be verified and to let you know that there are several other runs in the queue (24 to be exact)
It's only been two days since you submitted your run, yours isn't the only one in queue either, my suggestion would be to be patient
I'd like to hear if anyone else has interest in this kinda category
If the game isn't already on the site, you'd have to request it here https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame but your account must be at least 7 days old first to submit a game request (among other things you should read over in the game request rules)
As much as I'd have liked to add it under a veteran category, I didn't realize until after I posted here at the time that his run wasn't using the velocity meter. Top 3 runs are required to use a velocity meter and adding his run as the first for a veteran category would be going against that rule.
Some of the cuts ended up being actual lag and some were retimeable. I recall finding incredibly minuscule ones from after some of the beginning and only accounted for about less than one and a half seconds, I can't remember the specifics since it was two years ago but at the time since I was still able to account for most of the time (and there wasn't much time missing in the first place at all) and deemed it okay to accept the run. I'm gonna double check their other runs when I get a chance to make sure/refresh my memory on them
Setting comments or at least a separate descriptive label for categories/variables/values that don't affect the name of the category/sub-category/value that appears on the board would be nice to have. It'd make modifying a category where there's a large amount of them present with the same name easier. Most of the time their labels are non-descriptive to the level or whatever you'd be modifying, such as the name "Category", leading to having to click edit variable to see what exactly the variable is tied to.
