when I see a mod sumbit a sm64 speedrun I see that most of the time they are also the one to verify the time since there mod this means a mod could submit a fake time and verify it I do not think a mod should be able to verify his own run
People are also only made mods because they are well-cemented and trusted in the community.
where have you seen this? i can only think of maybe one instance in the year or more that i've been a mod where i've seen that happen. and when it did, we went through and re-verified it anyway. link to where this has happened at all recently
we don't verify our own runs, if we upload someone else's run the same mod will submit and verify it.
If you wish to replace your twitch highlights with reuploads, please edit your already verified run rather than deleting the verified run and making a new submission. This makes it a lot easier for us to track which submissions are reuploads and should be less work on your part as well.
