France1, 3, 6 look fine to me. I might give Krystal corruption a try, and as I stated in my first post, there has been runs of this in the past, so it should be tracked somewhere
Opinion coming from someone who hasn't run the game yet, but will soon. Don't take my Global Mod sword into consideration, I'm only representing myself on this post.
I haven't followed all the events regarding this ESW glitch, but I'll still answer these questions with my poor knowledge. [quote]If you agree with ESW just because of the interest, or because it is a short category; does that mean that we need a short category as a main category? I'm just wondering if it would be so bad if the shorter categories were misc? People could still run them, they would still be on the leaderboard, but do they NEED to be main categories? This really boils down to a simple question. Should Event Storage Warp be allowed in the main categories? [/quote] Having a short "Beat the game" category can attract new people, just like me. I've appreciated the game a lot casually, I've enjoyed watching runs back in the day, but I always told myself "This game is way too long, there's no way I'll ever run this game". When I saw that there is now a 40 minutes long category, it fits my standards, and I'm probably not the only one in this case. So yeah, I think having a short category in the main categories makes sense, as long as this category ends up beating the game, which is the case. [quote]I'll tell you from experience, Krystal Corruption was much more enjoyable than Any% as it is now. Any% as it is now is a 34 minute run and the majority of it is cutscenes. Krystal Corruption is only 18 minutes, but more of it is gameplay than cutscenes. [/quote] I cannot tell right now what is the most enjoyable run, but I guess I can give a try at both once current any% is learnt for me. [quote]I believe that even though they are both short categories, Krystal Corruption, and Glitched Any%(Any% as it is now) could coexist as miscellaneous categories. They would both give runners, old and new, a short category that they can enjoy as they please. [/quote] I'd still be fine with that. In the end, what matters is that if people want to run a category, it should be there somewhere on the boards. Whether it's a main category or a misc category is more a question of visibility.
This is something you should ask directly in the game's forum
It happens because the site is under heavy load with SGDQ going on. It should get back to normal a few days after the end of the event.
Please ask this directly on the game's forum. This is not the place.
I've read the whole thread so far (and it took a while tbh). I can clearly see that there are basically 2 clans and some other people somewhere in the middle. Things went a bit offtopic but it's also obvious that Psarthex' behaviour, even if he apologized multiple times for it, is highly related to what he wanted to point out to me at first.
I am aware that the rules and ToS on speedrun.com are not clearly defined. As it has been said before, so far we've left that to the communities' discretion for the most things, but I've already pointed out that making clearer public/general rules is something we want to have in a not-so-far future (once again, ETAs are a complex thing)
As for the case itself, I'll wait for a bit more to see if any action is needed. With SGDQ coming up my free time is limited.
Thank you for your replies so far. I'll read everything once I am back from work. I'd just want to give a quick reply to FurryWulfz' post : [quote]The problem with SRC at the moment, being totally honest, is that there are no definite ground rules, and everything is kind of best judgment type thing. Content that talks about controversial topics with no intent to specifically offend anyone, it would be ludicrous to reject those, but content specifically singling out or targeting an individual is entirely another thing.
This isn't specifically directed at anyone in here, this is more a "perfect place to explain this particular issue with the site as a whole type thing", since it is being discussed.[/quote] This is something we're working on (like, for real). It just takes a lot of time if we want to cover the most cases for the first shot. Moreover, the staff's availability vary greatly so it doesn't help to give any ETA.
Greetings,
Yesterday I have been reported by runner Psarthex that there might be some actual issues going on with the current moderation team.
I will try to sum up the huge wall of text he sent me because it would be much too long to translate everything. Long story short, the current moderators wouldn't listen to the community's suggestions about categories, as well as other rules, such as the music thing in runs, audio cuts that sometimes happen because of Twitch, and so on. Now, I don't know anything about the Resident Evil series, so I'd be glad if I could be explained such strict criterias for accepting or rejecting runs since, to me, it doesn't really affect the game like cheats would do. Also, he mentions the neverending rejection of his own runs for dubious reasons. However, I will not talk further about this because he takes responsibility for his behaviour so maybe we can bring this back later.
From what I've heard, my opinion so far is that everybody has a part of guilt : Psarthex didn't really react in a decent manner, but as for the moderators (As far as I could see, especially Carcinogen and SuccintAndPunchy), they don't seem to be especially encline to listen to the community's opinion (not only talking for Psarthex here). The deletion of threads alerting about the situation with a moderator are, to me, censorship, therefore not something we wish to see here. The condescending tone that SuccintAndPunchy takes everytime he posts something isn't either a good representation of a moderator. Not mentioning, having only at most 2 active moderators out of 8 doesn't help.
Please keep the discussions in this thread calm and courteous. As I said, I've had Psarthex' version of what happens, and I'm solely here to gather more facts from all sides, also from people who are external to the actual story. I am willing to find a solution that would please the most. This can inlude (not exhaustive) : Changing moderators, finding consensus on the rules and categories, maybe other things I can't think about right now.
Gyoo.
@thebpg13 : [quote]at the moment the heads of the whole series have become very inactive and do not do anything[/quote] Probably because there isn't a single series mod, which is something we decided to do some months ago after some trouble within the Colin McRae moderation team.
That's not exactly it. The rule that says "Usernames won't be deleted unless the account has no posts/runs and has been inactive for over a year." is in case you want your account to be renamed to an already existing username. If you just want your own account deleted you can do it whenever you want.
If someone has to grow up, it is you Zer0z. Since the creation of your account you've been constantly annoying if not insulting others in many manners, as well as provoking every one frequently, staff included. I am actually surprised you didn't get banned before, we probably have been too fair with you.
So, considering what was said since I last checked this thread, and if it wasn't clear enough already : no, we won't create a marathon page for this.
Please provide additional information. When and where would it happen ? How long will it last ?
Deleted and banned the funny guy who started this
He wants them as a trifecta. You should ask the series mods directly.
