Hi, we (the community) created a combined leaderboard for all Super Metroid romhacks in order to keep them all in one place with the same mods and to clean up people's profiles (Found here: https://www.speedrun.com/supermetroidhacks ). We've kept it for a while and everyone seems to prefer it so can a full mod please delete the individual leaderboards that I created for romhacks. These are:
Rotation: https://www.speedrun.com/rotation Super Mega Easy Metroid: https://www.speedrun.com/Super_Mega_Easy_Metroid Panic Mode: https://www.speedrun.com/panicmode Wet-Winter: https://www.speedrun.com/Super_Metroid_Wet-Winter Adam's Hack: https://www.speedrun.com/adamshack
I've made sure all runs are copied over and the runners that I have spoken to are OK for the old boards to be deleted. I believe mods of the other romhacks that I'm not a mod of would like those to be deleted too but I'll leave it for them to request separately.
Thanks.
If you are a Super Mod for each of these leaderboards, you are able to delete them yourself. Proof here: https://gyazo.com/c2b87ab495a8285c1fefa0424174ba91
@JokerFactor You are able to see the delete option but the site won't actually let you do it if the game was created more than two weeks ago.
@Daravae Thanks. Yes the series can be deleted and all the rest of the individual romhack leaderboards can also be deleted (except for project base). I have confirmation from the other mods that they are happy for all the leaderboards to be deleted. (I can DM the proof if you like).

Sorry it's quite a few but thanks for your help with this.
Yes I have confirmation from azder, stuntcoyote, sapphron, matrixugly, mumu_didi, topsy turvy and bfrobber. I can ask them to post here to confirm though.
As for how it will be handled, every romhack will be given a page on the combined leaderboard if requested. We don't plan to reject any.
yeah confirming that this is what we want to do
current plan is to add new hacks as categories if needed. they won't be on new game pages so the requests for them won't be going through SRC
if for whatever reason game requests are submitted we'd prefer that they not be put up
Be warned, if in the future you will want to mass move runs again you will have to do it yourself manually even if it is beyond 1-20k+ runs. It is currently impossible to have site staff move runs, subcategories are an absolute no go to attempt to move.
Yeah that's fine. We manually moved all these runs ourselves anyway as a trial. This was an experiment that all mods agreed was a better implementation than the current romhack series that speedrun.com defaults to.
Confirmation from me. Feel free to go forward with whatever you want to do regarding SM rom hacks.
@Feral No problem, I'll be sending the bill later.
