FF Speedrun discussion topics

Things that need to happen.

0) If your game is not directly listed still feel free to go through these points with your community. It seems to me however that most of the issues and discussion is revolving around these games in particular. This is not meant to call people out but just to create a level platform for discussion and resolve issues so we can all move forward and get back to playing video games.

1) You need to decide as a community what your current rules for your games are exactly.

2) Read the points listed below

3) On each point, discuss in your community the possibility of the change and gauge how it affects you

4) Come to a conclusion on each point and update your games rules accordingly

5) Be civil about it. Don't attempt to derail the discussion or say things that do not contribute anything.
