I mostly listen to Hardstyle, Techno (the specific genre, not a catch-all term for electronic music), Lento Violento, and according to Spotify, Alt-Z.

Really into this sort of stuff right now:

That's nice and all but this is all stuff that even an idiot would have included as features in the first place, so can't congratulate Elo that much.

The Fallout community has followed suit

"Following the recent update to speedrun.com, the Fallout speedrunning community will be observing a leaderboard blackout in support of the SHAR speedrunning community.

Any submitted runs will not be verified and the series' pages will remain dormant until either speedrun.com allows the disabling of comments and gives regular moderators the ability to delete comments, or the comment feature is removed from the site.

We apologize for any inconveniences.

  • Fallout mod team"

Assuming this thread is still being monitored, I would like to ask if the useless widgets on the game pages are staying, can they at least be optional? I find the forum posts one quite depressing, since the 3 most recent threads were 3 months, 1 year and 3 years ago. This makes the community look a lot less active than it actually is.

@Oreo321 the original poster of a comment was able to edit the comment even after deletion, and re-write the original message potentially. However, I think this has been fixed now, and comments can now be properly deleted (?)

I just unfollowed all my games and it seems to have taken effect immediately (at least, I can't see them when viewing my own profile), so I guess mileage varies on that one

So not only are the new info boxes redundant, they're also potentially inaccurate lol

@Oreo321 that's fair, didn't think of it being used for that sort of stuff - from a moderation POV that's actually quite useful then

Speaking of the news section, how useful a feature is this actually? I imagine most games have a Discord by now for such things. Having said that, I'm not against it, was just wondering why SRC is trying to become a social media platform rather than a database

Thinking about it, even if we work with the premise that only wholesome comments are ever posted, with no notifications of any kind, who will see those comments? What is the point of posting them?

to me the display does not change from the fullgame graph, there's another user who has the same issue with that page so I don't think it's just me

In a game I moderate's stats https://www.speedrun.com/pdz/gamestats fullgame works as intended, but none of the ILs seem to. Is this something I've bollocksed in the settings or are other people having this issue too?

posted this in the feedback thread but it's relevant to this specific issue:

when a mod deletes a comment on a run, it only deletes the content and not the comment box itself. The poster of said comment can then edit it back to what it originally said. As pointed out before, at no point is a moderator made aware of any of this happening.

Here's something I just noticed, when a mod deletes a comment on a run, it only deletes the content and not the comment box itself. The poster of said comment can then edit it back to what it originally said. As pointed out before, at no point is a moderator made aware of any of this happening.

I understand it's not cool to shit on somebody's hard work or whatever, but come on, this is ridiculous.

^ I just noticed that as well, actually lol. I honestly feel I cannot overstate how bad a redesign this is.

No bugs to report but I do have feedback, nothing new really but just to add my 2 cents

  • Everything is too small.
  • Everything on the right-hand side is unnecessary information which clogs up the page.
  • Hiding subcategories in a drop-down menu is bad UI.
  • Game pages are just ugly.
  • Game forums look okay but again, so much useless information on the right-hand side.
  • Was anybody asking to be able to see the amount of times you've looked at a game's page?

Change for change's sake is never a good idea. If it ain't broke, don't break it. I appreciate the thought I guess, but it's a really bad job, guys.

Why? This is a different game, different community.

In case anyone's submitting full-game runs who's not on the Discord, we recently overhauled the way the runs are displayed, all platforms now appearing alongside each other.

There is no difference to the submission process, time your run in RTA as the rules outline and the mods will do the rest :)

I remember being 13, joining music forums and everyone was amazed at how young I was when they found out.

This was almost 20 years ago now, damn
