@kirkq and cyberdemon531 I would usually not want to get into this, but I think it’s necessary to explain Cyber’s points and the issue with the X7 leaderboard. X5 is, technically, fine, since the current mod does run that game and has very good times in it. X7, however, is a different case. As explained in this thread by PeterAfro ( http://www.speedrun.com/mmx7/thread/sk6o2 ) he banned something the community explicitly allowed, despite allegedly being told that in Twitter multiple times.

A summarized version of what happened (as seen from my perspective –if anyone sees wrong information and can correct it please do–) would be: everyone had been running in the PC version, which is Korean, but they had been using a version that had an English patch. The moderator we’ve been talking about went and did a "joke" (or so he claims) about timing it to see if English patch affected timing and banning it from the other leaderboards if it did so. Someone posted it on Twitter and people got angry. He said something along the lines of "it was a joke but now I’ll actually do it." He went and did it even though the X7 community had all agreed practically unanimously that running in the patch was perfectly fine. He then banned all the runs of that game done in the patch and proceeded to create the X7 leaderboard in this site before the actual runners got the chance, having the advantage of being a series mod, effectively enforcing his decision.

One could go and gather opinions from all the people who have actually run that game and most –if not all– would agree that the rule applied was not agreed upon and that the mod needs to be changed. Personally, I think PeterAfro should be the one moderating the leaderboard of Mega Man X7, being an active runner who is in contact with the community. I would also like to suggest that all further discussion about this specific game was directed to the thread I linked previously, with special focus in a question presented in the opening post: [quote=Cirno_eats_a_hoagie]Can a person who doesn't even run a game have [moderator status] and set rules that the running community does not agree with and block times from the leaderboard? [/quote]

Thank you, StoneRedGaming. That pastebin will be useful for new runners, it will be added to the guides section shortly.

Also, welcome to the Minecraft speedrun community. We are always happy to have new people. If you want to have more contact with the community, we have a skype group we'd like to invite you to, to be added just send me your skype username over Twitter or Twitch PM.

I already sent a twitch Message Pac's way, but by experience a lot of people tend to miss twitch PMs so I'm conna 'cross-post' here as well.

Cyberdemon531 and I along with the Mega Man X6 community would like to have the leaderboards for our game here.

Joka (who currently runs the megaman leaderboards) has stated () that he is OK with having games from the X series branch off from the leaderboards and manage them ourselves, so we at X6 want to take the offer.
