SRcom Mod Guidelines 2021-0828

Verification is not required, but Mods WILL check for disqualifying conditions:

- No "multi segment" runs. (If you decide to save your game and resume later, then you MUST also add the Real Time between sessions!) A submission with multiple videos is OK.
- No casual runs. Demonstrate that speed is your intent. (The easiest way to do that is to please not ride the Telepod until Marle does.)
- No ZSNES, no modifications, etc. (All other emulators/platforms are OK. See wiki for info/comparisons: http://chrono.wikidot.com/ct#gettingstarted )

Mods ALSO take responsibility for checking whether you (especially if you're new) have understood the following:

1. The Video you submit must be a TWITCH HIGHLIGHT, or a YouTube. If you link a Twitch Past Broadcast, then we have less than 2 weeks to inform you to Highlight that before the video is LOST (auto-deleted by Twitch). A speedrunner could submit to multiple Speedrun.com leaderboards and unfortunately never be informed of this mistake!
2. The details of the requirements of the category. If you've made some small error in meeting the definition of the category, mods must catch this as well in a timely manner, so that you can correct it for next time.
3. The correct Start time for the category, meaning you did not start the timer late.
4. The correct End time for the category. Please do not stop the Timer early. In fact, please just let your timer run a couple seconds long, rather than risking an early stop.
NOTE: Nothing that happens to your timer can disqualify you; it just makes reviewing your time a bit difficult. You don't even need a timer. And really, if your timer or splits go haywire, please don't even let it distract you; just keep playing.

Other advice (Moderator agreements):

5. Apart from your Name, Video, and Turbo(Yes/No), the accuracy of other submission details isn't too important. Please set the "Unverified?" field to "New" in order to represent to leaderboard visitors that your new submission may not be 100% fully accurate.
6. All runs are re-timed by Mods, so we don't expect you to provide an exact correct time. Just submit whatever LiveSplit shows. Mods check your exact start and end time, AND compare it with the length of your actual video.
7. If you report a time that is off by only a second or two (and it does not impact your rank placement), then we may purposely NOT adjust it. (If your leaderboard time doesn't exactly match your post on YouTube/Twitter/Reddit/etc., viewers and historians alike may wonder whether you had got *another* new PB by a couple seconds. Not always necessarily worth the trouble.)
8. Milliseconds are deleted in all categories except NG+. (How NG+ gets re-timed: Download the vid, open in MPC-HC, frame advance to Start of run, press Ctrl-G to get the time reading. Repeat for End of run. Resulting difference should be adjusted to the nearest frame, taking into account the FPS of the video, and then rounded to the hundredth of a second.)

We also check other stuff at our discretion or at the suggestion of other runners in the community. The runs can obviously always be reviewed by anyone.
