I don't know. I wasn't the one that added it to the site originally.
It's a small community, not many runs are submitted, and they aren't very difficult to verify in the first place. I've been trying to get runs verified within a week. For something like this, solo moderation is fine. And like logic said, most runs and talk are done in the discord anyway. A majority of video proof from there isn't submitted here. There's even an in-game leaderboard, and these boards are redundant imo.
Sometimes I don't feel like verifying runs. It also doesn't help that you DM me within 24 (not even 24, within 12) hours of you submitting the run asking for it to be accepted. Sometimes I go on here to check things for other games. Like Pringles said, moderators get up to 3 weeks to accept runs, so be patient about it.
Update: New Track (Checkpoint Chaos) I am actually going to change back the 17 course full-game run to 16 courses, as Pipe Nightmares and Checkpoint Chaos are test courses, and don't have much time deviation between runs. However, they will both stay as ILs until further notice. With that, Checkpoint Chaos is going onto the IL board.
I have the retimer. I use it for the other games I moderate. It still doesn't change the fact that going by eye on when you cross the finish line is unreliable and tedious to do. As I said before, the idea for it is too niche to implement.
I use in game time for leaderboard positions. I rather not have to time runs frame by frame, accounting for minute differences which could lead to time disputes. Using the timer also isn't great, as you can only measure by the second. So because of all of that, I am not adding checkpoint skips as an extra category. I think it's too niche.
Update: Maelstronomer has changed the physics again. This means that IL runs that are under "Current" are in the process of being moved to legacy. The newest map was also added. I merged the 14 course full-game runs together, and changed the 15 course category to legacy, as well as adding a 16 course category. You can still go on older versions of the game to submit legacy times, but all times for the "Current" categories must be played on the official SBB game.
I might add jumpless at a later time. No promises for right now.
Let me address the extra categories that 89 suggested. I am NOT adding padless. It's just not a good category. Reverse isn't doable for some tracks I think? Even if it was, would anyone be inclined to do it? And instead of 2-4 laps, many more would be required due to hitting the checkpoints one lap at a time. Single lap is just stupid. I'm not using SPRT to retime single lap runs. If you can do 1 lap, you can do 2-4. I rather go off the in-game time since its more precise than anything I can do with a video. If I had to time single laps, there would be disputes based on if you crossed the line 1 frame earlier/later than what actually happened, and I rather not go through that. As I said before, I don't see any reason for a category extension board.
I honestly think that a category extensions board wouldn't be great for a game like SBB. As of now, the only thing that could go there would be maybe jumpless (which still might get added to the main boards), and some other extremely arbitrary categories like racing backwards or boostless. Right now, I see no reason to have a category extensions board.
Marathon is officially added. If a LOT of you guys want jump-less, I guess I could add that as well. It just seems arbitrary to me.
I know there's another place for no jump SBB, but I still think its arbitrary to add to the lbs. And I didn't even think of the marathon place when originally posting that. So, if you guys want another main game category for the marathon map, then tell me.
Extra categories for a game like this seems very arbitrary, and things like no easy way to get official times for out of bounds shenanigans push it away from being added. For snocs suggestions, jumpless isn't going to happen, boostless may or may not be interesting to try out, and start wall seems arbitrary again. Boostless would be the only one I would think of adding, but I don't see any meaningful reason to add another sub-category for it. And to comment on the problem of competition, you DID want more competition, and there has always been a small player base of higher level players for the game. The problem initially was that many runs aren't recorded, as in-game WRs usually were set by known community members, so video proof wasn't necessarily needed. But as that discord gets to know about these leaderboards (which I still think are redundant in the first place aside from all track runs), they've gradually submitted runs. But now that there is harder competition, you start asking for more categories. That's just what I've noticed.
New subcategory added for if you use the gamepass to select maps or not. If your run is put under the wrong subcategory, post here or DM me and I will fix it. This was the original problem with adding a subcategory. For some runs, you cannot tell if they used the gamepass or not, so you just have to guess and hope.
This update took effect a while ago, where the gravity coil no longer gets affected by hat weight. At this point, it's basically a dead category.
