SupporterI should rephrase my statement:
Making it opt-in would make the follow feature pointless. @MrMonsh mentioned that one of the more widely used feature would be to follow friends, but if friends never opt-in from being inactive, or some other reason related to not checking the site often, they may miss this feature. I would suggest making it opt-out if anything for a few reasons:
Long time inactive users would be able to participate. Although they may not be submitting runs/forum posts anymore, other users would still have the ability to follow these users.
It would be easier to track previously banned players. Users who have cheated in the past, banned, then later unbanned can be monitored more closely by the community, if they wish to do so.
This can also be used to track potential mod farmers. Following a user to get notifications when they are added as mods to new games can be a useful resource for tracking down mod farmers.
While I have my personal reasons for wanting this feature (wr farming), I believe that having this potential feature as "opt-out" would be more beneficial than "opt-in" for the reasons listed.
That would make the follow feature pointless then, all the farmers would opt-out to avoid other farmers knowing what games they are running.
The main co-op categories are tracked here on haloruns, which is the easy and legendary difficulties: https://haloruns.com/records/odst/fullgame/co-op
While I do agree that there is a lack of co-op categories (mainly for mombasa streets), they are most likely not listed on the leaderboard for the sake of not having empty categories. You can always run whatever co-op category you would like and post your run in the forum, and perhaps the category would be added that way
I would trust someone who works on tases to find more glitches, not a rando
