There have been thousands of submitted runs in the past week. The game is currently getting about 15 submissions an hour. Many of which include hacked runs, incorrectly submitted times, submissions to the wrong categories due to language barriers and trolls. All of this is in addition to having to clean up runs that have been verified incorrectly throughout all of this.

The priority has been getting through a 2000+ submission backlog asap. So yes, having to manually download videos is a significant inconvenience to the verification process right now, adding an unnecessary step to a workload that has already gone far beyond what any niche speed game verifiers should be expecting. If it doesn’t take much effort to download, it shouldn’t take much effort from a runner to reupload to a website that has the built in tools to make this verification process easier on everyone.

When the leaderboard brigading stops, tik tok videos can be reassessed as valid submission embeds by the game’s community. For now, YouTube is a requirement for top 30.

• 1 from me for an option to boost specific users to be explored in future. My games have had quite a lot of runs being submitted this month due to new skips. I was thinking boosts would be a good way to show appreciation for any mods/verifiers putting in the work as they are likely using SRC the most. Having it be random seems a bit too restrictive.
