ValhallaI've seen these things happen in the past with people suddenly jumping ship. The platform they jump to ends up staying small and unheard of before fizzling out. You can make the jump if you want, but as garbage as Twitch can be at times I have yet to see an even decent alternative.
Not defending Twitch's decisions, I've got plenty of reasons to hate them myself, but "THE YEAR OF HITBOX" won't come unless the alternative is actually fucking good.
tl;dr get ublock and tell twitch to suck one on the ads
This is like one of the few situations where a bump is fine lol
Moderation isn't a job. It's not a title earned by being a good moderator, whatever that means. Moderation is something given to anybody that wants to do it basically. Anybody that wants to put up with the headache. If a moderator wants to test himself, maybe he should arrange that with someone else. There doesn't need to be some training/testing done before you can get mod status because guess what? Being a mod means nothing.
Also I got some bad news for ya. There are a ton of games out there that can be cheated, and you would never catch them. Why? Some games are just easy to cheat in. Often comes down to how easy it is to splice, or maybe the game can be played at near TAS level, meaning you can't rule out a "perfect" run, meaning you can just cheat the "perfect" run.
No amount of showing you a cheated run will help you catch it. Every game is different. I can show you a cheated Castlevania run and you wouldn't know what's wrong with it. Even if I told you what's wrong with it, you still probably wouldn't catch a similar run. There isn't anyway to really train for these things, you just have to know the game better than the cheater.
Lastly, as usual, cheating is overblown. It's not as prevalent as some youtuber somewhere might have you believe. Cheating does happen, yes, but it's a very small percentage of runners. I'm glad the rule was put in place to ban people that test moderators like this. Simply put if your fake run gets verified it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean the moderator didn't do their job, just that they couldn't catch the cheat. The only truth at the end of the day in that situation is that the person submitting the run cheated, and should be banned for it.
The only people complaining about this are the people whose speedgame was rejected because the game is terrible/can't really be ran fast, and the people on the outside looking in that are confused as to why games are being rejected.
Pretty sure the only games being rejected are terrible games and games that are terrible to speedrun (points based games, etc)
Back in my day it was just called RS, not classic, osrs, rs3...
Growing up sucks
I can speak for NES your go to is Mesen, followed by PuNES, Nestopia UE, BizHawk, FCEUX
Verifying your own runs isn't even an issue if you have video proof anyways. If you cheated the proof of if you did, or didn't, is there.
Can't say the same for a couple of screen shots but, once again, nobody is speedrunning that game lol.
@Felven 1.) So what? 2.) Yeah, for a couple categories, but he has VODs for other categories. The rules state nothing wrong with this. So what? 3.) So what? Sure having no vid proof of a couple of his runs looks bad, especially when he verifies it himself, but clearly it's not a popular game anyways so w/e 4.) Yeah, maybe, but no rules are put in place restricting you from submitting without a VOD.
The dude does have VODs of other runs/PBs so if he's shown to be cheating there then sure you could discredit him buuuuuut... Given the game is unpopular and has no other runners I'm not sure why it's even an issue. Submit runs yourself if you care so much.
In the future this thread is for last resort involvement, not first.
Console? Probably a modded ps3/360/wii. System/platform with which to play any game: PC
