When there are lots of categories, you have to click for hours on the ">" icon to scroll through them. Please make it show a list instead or do what was there before.

News on games don't work when posted. You get "redirected" to the front page and nothing. The preview also renders the front page in the modal.

Got destroyed by a god gamer

Why is data on my profile such as the games I follow and how much I moderated what game, etc. publically available without a way to remove it?

Hey Palmtree, as Etchy pointed out in your last thread, we only add categories to the leaderboards if we have completed runs with videos of them.

Gotta love the "accidentally" in the title. Stretching definitions to infinity. :')

Please post the video.

Audio is mandatory. Also make sure to check the rules in regards to emulator usage you can find on any category.

Adding category extensions is discussed once people actually run said categories.

@Sizzyl you are absolutely wrong in almost every regard. Merki sold exactly the same hardware as Katsukitty, he even used to buy the hardware directly from them, until they went bankrupt. Since he buys them directly from the Japanese manufacturer when he needs to. And yes, they had it for New 3DS.

Currently, the most reliable way to obtain 2DS or 3DS capture cards is from https://twitter.com/EvoCapture1. This guy sells them in batches, so you have to be quite patient until the next batch gets released.

Also for what it's worth, for Pokémon X/Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, we have a separate leaderboard for NTR/Emulators and for Pokémon Sun/Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun/Moon we allow NTR on the main leaderboards (as the "overclocking" already naturally occurs when you play Gen 7).

There certainly is a solution to that. Do the run and we'll figure something out.

You can also record using a video camera like a phone or a webcam for the main leaderboards. Currently NTR and Emulators aren't split, as we do not have enough information regarding them, but may end up splitting those leaderboards as well. They both play faster than a normal console, which is why they have been separated from them.

No, as stated in the rules: The only allowed emulator is the latest release of GambatteSpeedrun (Currently r717) with a GBC bios image.

You do not need to submit a speedrun in order to do a speedrun. "No vid, no did" is a common saying in the speedrunning world.

@thisishowmymindworks my mind is blown, thanks for that info, I wasn't aware. I usually use the middle click to open a new tab, so I didn't try other ways!

One annoying thing that comes up quite frequently is when trying to open multiple runs in different tabs. Since the rows aren't links, you have to open the run and navigate again to wherever you were before in a new tab. Would it be possible to make the rows in a category be links or at least make some column a link to it?

Thank you for the answer, Liv. Letting communities decide is already a policy in itself.

That does not address this subject though, from what I could tell. What are individual communities supposed to do? Remove the runs? Report them to you src to get them banned? Not touch the runs?

It would be nice if that question could be addressed directly, as I know there have been discussions about this and nobody knows the "right" answer.

Edit: also unrelated, but it might be good to link to that page in the menu, cause I could not find it without using Google.

As we all know, this is a hot topic right now. Mutliple people in the speedrunning community get accused of immoral or even completely illegal despicable behaviour or acts.

I have seen some individual communities that remove aforementioned runners from their leaderboards, while others don't. I think it would be a good thing to have a site-wide policy regarding this, as this may get out of hand really quickly otherwise (even if the policy is to say that each community should decide on its own).

My personal opinion would be that leaderboard moderators should not become moral arbiters and not touch those runs (while removing such people from Discords, etc.). That is also what the Pokémon speedrunning community has recently decided to apply.

I'm sorry if this got mentioned before, I couldn't find it.

While I agree with @Timmiluvs's point, I still think that such a feature would be nice. We for example have separated leaderboards between some modern paired Pokémon games (like Sword or Shield), as the game differences make the runs very different; but still are about equally fast. It would be nice to be able to compare runs directly on the site with such a feature while keeping the ranking distinct, unless you visit a "summarised" leaderboard (that would not show on your profile).
