Alright so @mint2017 has given the all-clear for scrapping the new variable, the other two runners don't have records and haven't logged in since posting the runs so I'll discuss it with them later if they have an issue.
The All Factions/Reduced Factions variable has been removed for all relevant categories, and runs have been merged into the same leaderboard - there are small changes with the full release, but as of yet it doesn't look to be enough to demand new deviations.
And there's a new full-game category: 'All Categories' which is all currently available campaigns, here's hoping this is the last time Landfall mess with the game so extremely : )
Thread will be locked and discarded soon because it's no longer relevant
My current best idea is completely scrapping the variable once again and moving runs from reduced units to all units (when faster/relevant) but I'd require the following people's permission realistically: @Nukhebuk @Bob_Bobinson @mint2017 @SoapMC123 @REX_DRAGONFLY
Thanks for informing me @Nukhebuk
Originally I was just going to swear at Landfall a bunch but I guess people seeking answers on the forums wouldn't like that haha. What's so frustrating is that even turning the option in gameplay settings off isn't QUITE the same as the previous update, so the current categories ONCE AGAIN don't work xD
all I have to say right now is -_- please feel free to run all factions again, guys! will think of a solution to this and as always suggestions are appreciated
@kingdinocharge Done And from that day no moderation problems would occur, ever again. Outstanding move
@MrSamper99 The moderator has used a subcategory variable for all categories on the board but it doesn't apply to one of the categories so they've nullified it, it's pretty lazy in this case to be honest because there are only a couple of categories but regardless the category has to be ruled out with this system
Of the two or three rickrolls I've been submitted I've written "Don't have to click the link to know what this is" (Regrettably I can't find these due to the rejected run tab being filled) I've seen Mega Man submissions put something along the lines of "Nope" for runs that are meant to be submitted to MML
@Sandstorm187 @RENI moderates a behemoth 189 games and 3 series, including both Minecraft series - I wouldn't say that much moderation is better though... Also agreed with Oreo that moderating more games isn't good in itself, I moderate a series of games for which I'm almost the only runner for all three, excluding Jaypin and a guy 5 years ago I am the only guy.
Yes thanks for reminding me, I will add them ASAP The reason I'm stalling is that I have to find a sensible way of incorporating them into the full game category and actually play the whole of evil (because I've not done) and there might be something to mention in the rules.
(This is probably because the games I moderate are less active than the others mentioned here) but I don't mind all that much, perhaps I'm just really sad but I enjoy verifying a few runs per day. The bad parts are well explained above though, to an extent yes it can be painful - especially with a specific game I moderate where the game's main community for a variety of reasons despises the speedrunning community, that I'm to be mostly in-charge of.
@GhostTheUnholySpirit Yeah unfortunately you can only set badges for the top 4
