Too easy to abuse. Too hard to moderate.

I suggest you check the Guides page. There's a whole site that has many resources including video tutorials.

That should be a user option for people with slow connections. I don't want to have to page through.

Sounds like it's resolved if your valid, non-troll runs are being accepted now.

No we're not putting a board up for that. You're free to run what you like of course!

You wouldn't have to make anyone register on a separate site. People would continue to submit to speedrun.com as usual. Your Harddrop page would pull the data from speedrun.com and aggregate it.

Your biggest problem is if some runners from game A think it's unfair to be compared with game B.

I feel like what would be good here, is to make a "Combined 40 line Tetris" board that uses the Speedrun.com API to pull each separate Tetris game's 40 line board, and combine them in one monster list. That would avoid the hassle of trying to pull out one category from each separate game.

Putting in the engine as a variable?

This is a video game hobby. All categories are arbitrary and people are clearly having fun with them. It doesn't make sense from a site organization perspective to hide these separate boards. "Unprofessional" my eye.

So I cheer greater integration of this stuff.

GBI is not an emulator. It really shouldn't be listed as a separate console as it's just a different way of using the Game Boy Player.

If you're not going to allow emulator runs then is that put into the rules?

What the heck is an "EMU WR?"

Anyway yeah, the only people who can help you against the game mods are the site admins. And they told you to wait. That's really the only option you have.

@racingmonster Fair enough that rejecting runs with rude comments is valid. But rejecting runs that follow the rules and have no comment at all, is not valid, is it?

Is what bluewiregaming said true, that his initial posts had no comment at all, and were rejected anyway?

This sounds like a Discord fight spilling over onto this site.

I'm all for each game having its own standards, but I think the site admins should look very carefully at a player being blackballed.

Why should a runner have to apologize to a mod to have a valid run posted here? If mods can't be objective shoudln't they stand down?

And Disqus would never allow that kirkq, so hopefully that settles it.

Disqus is horrible. Disqus is designed for websites that don't actually care what trash gets put into the comments, like Newspapers.

Please keep Disqus nowhere near this site.

Splicing your run videos gets scary fast, from a verification perspective.

That said if people feel the need to add a separate game, because misc. categories gets messy, then that's something that probably should be fixed.

Hiding misc. categories isn't about 'shame.' It's about letting new runners know which categories are most important to the community.
