European UnionWe're not accepting them because they are all repetitive and uninteresting categories.
It was, but we don't believe that a Java moderator should be dealing with Bedrock requests.
Guys seriously being a moderator sucks
[QUOTE=goldenONX]apparently banning people before they even ran the game is a thing now.[/QUOTE] I know you're being sarcastic, but this is not uncommon. Look at Mario Kart, FZero (I think), GTA, etc. These are all communities where this kind of stuff happens.
And yes, a 1 in 10,000,000 chance is pretty good proof if you ask me.
To answer most of the concerns very quickly:
-
Why did you ban him before [INSERT EVENT HERE]? For the same reason Java removed his run before [INSERT EVENT HERE]
-
What about innocent until proven guilty? This maybe works in the court of law where we have things like security camera footage and fingerprinting. Unfortunately, if you apply this policy to speedrunning, a huge amount of cheaters would go unpunished as proving cheating (even when its obvious) is impossible in many scenarios.
-
There is no proof! Statistics is proof. It may not be "hard proof", but it is still proof.

@GoldGamer32 We already have the rules and an FAQ. The people that continue to make posts answering already answered questions are not going to read this stuff no matter what.
First of all, thank you for writing out a proper forum post instead of screaming like a child (as many people are doing these days)
[QUOTE=DellowYaisy]The MCJE mods one fails to take into account 5 other streams, decreasing its legitimacy in that aspect since including those may balance the results and make them less preposterous and insane[/QUOTE] I would agree with you on this, if it wasnt for the fact that they picked 6 consecutive streams. I would argue that adding the 5 additional streams would make it less accurate, as nothing was stopping Dream from simply doing 5 legit streams, and only turning on a mod or whatever after the 5th stream.
[QUOTE=DellowYaisy]I'd also like to politely say I disagree with the way Dream was banned. No other user had an additional forum post regarding them, however in this instance Dream had another one clearly eluding to him (specifically, the one titled "Regarding cheaters in other games"). As well as this, the overall message "We'd like to use this opportunity" just really seems like a way to take advantage of the situation considering it's a high profile speedrunner. Why not just make a reply about it in this thread? Why is Dream suddenly any different?[/QUOTE] There are a few parts to this.
-
We never planned on making an additional forum post on Dream. I wrote that thread because it was 1 in the morning (I am UTC+1) and I had been asked the exact same questions regarding his ban for the millionth time, so I felt that by making a forum post that I could easily link to people, the situation would be made easier for the entire mod team.
-
You are correct, this is precisely an attempt to take advantage of the on going drama and the fact that he is such a high profile player. I could go on and use Smedgies as an example of why you shouldnt cheat in other games, but most people would respond with "Who??", Dream is a better option because literally everyone knows who he is. Dream being a hot topic of discussion also means that more people are going to talk about it, making the message that we dont tolerate any cheaters more load and clear.
[QUOTE=DellowYaisy]Going by the current uncertainty, I do not think Dream should be banned, rather put under "Worthy of doubt". Both perspectives are compromised, and until one can sufficiently counter the other party's claim, we shouldn't entirely be certain he cheated; rather, we should doubt the legitimacy of his runs.[/QUOTE] The unfortunate thing is that speedrunning is inherently trust based. We can sit and wait for some sort of definite conclusion, but the matter of fact is that we are never going to get one. It is our job as moderators to make these sorts of subjective decisions, and taking both sides of the argument into account we still feel that Dreams run was illegitimate. If some new information is to surface in the future, we will be more than happy to revoke his ban. Another point I would like to make is that Dream does not run Bedrock and has shown literally no intention to do so, meaning that we would lean more on a ban that sets an example than what some might consider "more fair treatment" for someone that potentially does not own the game (I'm not certain on this, don't quote me)
To conclude, we also have the google doc below which we wrote to explain our take on the situation, and thank you for the post.

Emulators work by emulating the hardware of the device. As a very specific example, what a gameboy emulator might do is take all the memory addresses the gameboy uses (this is where data is stored) and map each address to a variable in an array (or a list for you python folks). This is also why emulation may be very slow, despite you having pretty good hardware (assuming you're emulating a WiiU or something.
Emulators are not allowed PS5 is allowed
If you are on Linux, you are allowed to use the MCPE launcher
