Eh, if you got a REALLY good reason to not allow emulation, sure.

It's an MMORPG I take it? Not impossible to speedrun of course, but there needs to be clear goals for completion. The bigger issue is how long before Nintendo shuts something like that down? Seems like anyone that takes the time to speedrun it could potentially run into legal issues down the road if the game got deleted from existence.

Or no one has requested the game yet. You can do that here: https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame

kirkq told stew_ to take it up with the community. the same community he's having issues with. my guess is it didn't work.

Yeah I mean unless the dude is cheating, submitting fake runs, etc. You shouldn't be rejecting his run lol.

Using that same logic we can arrive at turning SRC into an email service, an IM service, a streaming service, etc.

High score runs are just something entirely different. While two hobbies may have overlap, they are separate things entirely.

Also you burden speedrunner mods for leaderboards with mod duties on long ass high score runs. Which, maybe they're not the right people for the job. So you then have to take on mods just for high scores, but then you would probably need a separate mod status for SR mods and HS mods. At that point they should be their leaderboards, and at that point making it's own little site on the side isn't too much of a stretch either.

Ultimately there are sites for this sort of thing already so I'm not sure what the deal really is.

I'm sure there's exceptions but my understanding is most high scores can be beaten with just a longer time investment

2FA isn't 100% secure either. Now what about in the case of those without phones? Hard to imagine right? Well it exists. I'm sure there's a way to do it through email or something, but that sounds like a big inconvenience.

Highscores aren't fast. Seems like a no brainer to me to ignore it.

Garadas has been the source of a number of headaches since becoming a content mod. A lot of the issues with his decisions come from the fact that he just acts, instead of talks with other people. If he is incapable of communicating on src or other platforms, maybe he shouldn't be in that position of power.

It's kind of an opinion thread to gauge community interest in 2FA my dude
