Not my business, but it seems like a bad idea to make a public forum post calling someone out for being unprofessional. It's kind of like the pot calling the kettle black. Know what I'm saying? Not trying to be rude or anything, but in my experience, praise in public, chastise in private is the best way to go in cases where you need to maintain a working relationship with someone.

Or just take the issue to someone above Drakodan if you can't work it behind the scene with him/her.

This is not where you post about this. Please post this kind of thing in the /sa2b forums. Your run was rejected for multiple reasons. The video footage you had sent was some of the worst we've had submitted to us. The feed was very small, flipped and recorded with what I assume is a webcam. You don't have a timer running on the video either, which is generally a thing that you should be doing.

It is not acceptable to post other people's personal information on the internet, especially in a public place where anyone can view it. I suggest getting a better setup and doing this again. Or you could crop the video to only show the game, flip the video, stretch it out to fit the screen and show a timer with the game. -SA2B moderator

"I'm posting here because it seems to be the best way to contact you."

My Speedrun.com profile contains links to both my Twitch and my Twitter. SA2B has its own sub-forum, and I give out my Skype info on request. Making a topic on the main forum like this wasn't strictly necessary.

"Could you have some degree of professionalism and actually tell me why you rejected my SA2B run instead of just saying "wtf is this"? To answer your question, that was a recording of a Skype call."

  1. Webcam quality on a tiny portion of the screen
  2. Flipped game feed
  3. Muted VOD
  4. No timer/splits
  5. As you say, it's a recording of a Skype call. This is not ok, since it shows the Skype info of other people, including people I know. Not everyone wants their Skype info publicly viewable, much less without their consent or knowledge.

5 is the primary reason I rejected, as 1-4 individually wouldn't normally warrant a rejection from me, but this is just CRAZY bad. It's a picture-perfect example of how not to submit a run. For future reference:

Have your game feed be the PRIMARY focus of your capture. You have other videos on your YouTube where you do this, so I know you know how to do this, and I will not accept any videos where you do not meet this standard.

Do not reveal other people's public information in your videos.

Have a split timer onscreen that is accurately tracking the run, even if it's done in post-production.

Try to have video and audio as intact as possible in their original state. Direct capture is NOT a requirement, I'm happy to accept webcam quality as long as it looks reasonable.

I suggest that you also private or remove the video from your youtube. Because of the fifth reason that drako posted above.
