Unauthorized Board Changes, Lies, and the 1st Ban

We apologize that this happened. Recently, Laggy took control of the boards to make unauthorized widespread changes before announcing his intention to do so. Prior to his announcement, several changes were made without permission or prior knowledge from the other members in the mod-team or community. These actions were taken with powers ill-fully gotten and were made with the intention of keeping them hidden until it was no longer possible to act. Laggy should have contacted the other mods in both situations, but no one else was informed. He was the only one privy to these and only intended informing the public until after the board changes were forced. By going above the mod-team to acquire his mod-powers through deceit and ultimately making these decisions with such poor reasons, Laggy's goal was to lie and deceive the community. Mistakenly, he applied his changes in error, and several runs were orphaned when mods took notice and acted. Initially, it was requested of Laggy to halt any further action and discuss the matter publicly. However, this request was refused and more drastic action necessary. Before the full changes could be made and take effect, site-admins were contacted to bring Laggy's moderator powers back into check. Unfortunately, some of the changes have been made in the time between contacting the admins and a solution applied.

The changes to the boards following January 15th are not to be and will be reversed. Laggy's been demoted by the admins and removed from the mod-team, again, and let it be publicly known that Laggy is never to be trusted with moderation powers. Several mods agreed on this before which is why he circumvented the mods.. In the past he's narrowly avoided being banned, instead being put on ban-watch which is now under review. This isn't Laggy's 1st offense and will be receiving a ban for his continuous egregious actions as a result. The punishment recommended by the community mod-team is a permanent ban from our community, a temporary ban of 3 months from submitting to the speedrun.com/boltgun boards, and any current legitimate records shall remain intact. It is also recommended that, if this punishment is not enough, a permanent ban be applied. A log has been created documenting the changes made, and hopefully, all changes can be reversed easily to restore the boards. It will take time to fully measure the fixes necessary before the boards can be restored. Therefore, current and future runs submitted for verification will see a delay in the verification process, until the board-states have been fixed. Please continue running and submitting, and have patience for your mod-team while the boards are restored. If you have any questions, please come join our** speedrunning community discord**. Sincerely, and again, we are sorry and working to fix the situation.
