Anyone who has been appointed to moderator status, and therefore given the ability to verify runs, has already proven that they are trustworthy enough to verify runs to begin with. What I take from that thread is that, although there may be suspicion by nature, the primary reason it's recommended to wait for another moderator to verify a run is to correct any accidental mistakes on the submission's information - not within the run itself.
Now, if a moderator is self-verifying runs that have been tampered with, that's another issue - but will eventually be found out and dealt with.
Aaand the guy deletes his messages when he realises this thread was pointless. xD
I'm not sure, his first post was pretty much a longer version of the topic name, I didn't see his response to mine because he deleted it before I could read it.
Starting now and currently being grandfathered, all console runs will be manually retimed with load times removed. This process will be redone by the verification team anyway, so don't worry about doing it yourself when submitting. Massive shoutouts to Tactix1 for doing this basically single handedl
