I see. I didn't remember that captcha from when I created my account though. But as you said, it's bad advertising at the end if the posts gets deleted quickly.
Thanks for the answer @YUMmy_Bacon5
Thanks for the answer. I wasn't complaining, by the way. Just curious.
I was just curious why it's so easy for bots and spammers to create accounts here. Is there really no way to prevent this? Could it be a lack of manpower, or perhaps the site lacks an effective anti-bot system?
Did it work? Have you done any practice runs yet? I've never played Pokémon, though. Good luck!
From the rules: "The time of the run is the time in the video from starting condition to ending condition. It is not the time shown on the timer program, which is started and ended with human error."
The timer helps the moderator though. You can run a timer on another phone and film the screen, or anything similar to that. But what really matters is the rule above.
Oh wait! I checked the GitHub repo to see if I could make it work with my current knowledge, and besides noticing that it's written in Python, I also saw that you're a contributor there, @YUMmy_Bacon5 , right? Could you maybe give me an example of Python code that I could run to, let's say, gather the games that meet the IGT criteria and are also racing games? That would help a lot — I’d just need to tweak your example to fit my needs. I hope I’m not asking too much. Even just a small code sample would be super helpful!
Oh thanks for the help @YUMmy_Bacon5
Maybe I'll try using the API and see what it returns. I'm tech-savvy and know a bit about coding, so maybe I can extract the results I need from the API, even if not all of them. I really appreciate your offer to make the list for me, but I don’t want to bother you with such a tedious task.
The reason I’d like to know which games meet this criteria is because IGT is easy to get verified and set up on the runner’s end—no need for LiveSplit, cameras, overlays, etc.
Thanks again. Really, I appreciate the help.
@ShikenNuggets Bummer. Thanks for your help anyway.
Is there a way to do it on the site? Or maybe some list somewhere would do the trick.
I'm looking for games where what matters for validation is the IGT, like Daytona USA or Sega Rally 95 for example.
I'm glad to hear you're doing well, Lonne. Thank you for all the work you've been doing. Stay safe and healthy.
I dind't want to create a new thread for this, so I bumped this one on purpose. But my reply is valid.
I was wondering the same. There is no reason to keep it on the leaderboard if it has no proof anymore. It's the responsibility of the runners to provide it and to keep it alive.
And based on the ammount of likes the stupid comment got from many people including the moderator, I think my english is not good enough to post anything here all of a sudden.
Good news is that the previous world record holder was very happy for me and even posted a message to me on his channel. He didn't made any fuss. He simply acknowleged the thing and congratulated me and that warms my heart, instead of making such a drama as you guys are doing here and on discord (the last time I was there).
So I refrain on posting anything here anymore due to this. Enjoy your drama and your community. I'm out of here.
