Hello,

After a weeks-long investigation, many of the top 3 times on the Piano Tiles 1 SRC page were incorrectly approved by Darrel, myself, and past moderators over the past couple of years. After 11/19/2020, we implemented a rule that all top 3 runs in any category required video proof, and since then we’ve mistakenly accepted many runs that did not meet this requirement.

Starting October 1st, we will be going through and deleting runs that were not eligible for verification due to not having video proof of the full run (including any runs of our own). Removing these runs will lead to the potential for some current top 3 times on the leaderboard not having video proof, even if they were submitted after 11/19/20. However, at the time of their submission, these runs were not top 3 on the leaderboard due to our errors in allowing invalid submissions, thus, these runs will not be removed as the runners submitted the required proof given the state of the leaderboard at that time.

While moderators are bound to make mistakes over the years, we’ve concluded that the rate of mistakes is simply too high. On behalf of the current and past moderators, we apologize for the mistakes, and will be more attentive to run requirements and submissions in the future. If you have any questions, please reach out to a moderator.

Thank you,

Machs
