He recently uploaded them to youtube. What was previously thought to be the in-game time was actually his real time!

I noticed that the current run stops timing as soon as the final boss dies. I'd argue that timing should stop at last meaningful input-you can still move and extend the game on last spells, so timing would stop on failing the final last spell. This would make the 25:27 run a fair amount slower than it currently is.

This is also how Elainespencer (who has a 22:xx FinalA and low 23 FinalB) and I timed runs about a year ago.

Alright, so there have been some weird categories showing up on the front page that it's not exactly clear what they are, and the rules don't explain. Either a standard name like "any%", "100%", "Hard Mode any%", etc. etc. or a more game specific category name (can't think of any offhand) with descriptive rules would fix this-is there anything in place for making leaderboards more accessible? Other than bringing it to mod attention, I can't think of any.

This has "any%", "100%" (both good enough) and... "Better any%". What makes it better? The rules are exactly the same as any%, so those aren't helpful. What makes it different?

This isn't the only example of an objectively bad category name/description, but it's the only one on the frontpage right now.

I think some of the reason for the category naming conventions is that there are no moderator guidelines anywhere on the site, no "so now you're a game moderator" type things. Just having a standard of any type, some what to do and what not to do point, could alleviate some of the general moderator difficulties.

I was just updating a time on an individual level but on submitting it, I was redirected to (first letter of level name)#Time_Attack instead of (levelname)#Time_Attack. This has removed my time from the leaderboard itself (and since it'd Ape Escape, it should have updated). The reason I resorted to editing is the site would not let me submit a new run for an individual level. Finally, I tested the submission feature on a normal category with a dummy run I was intending to delete immediately after, but there was no delete option. I edited the run to be under a category with no runs presently, but would like the option to remove a run back.
