As part of PSR's decision to separate the community into smaller discords, the Stadium series of Pokemon games (which includes Battle Revolution) have moved to a new discord server.

With recent credible allegations of sexual abuse against many speedrunners, I think it's important to give the proper tools to moderators of speedrunning communities to properly address the issue in an easy manner.
I, for one, believe that all the times of abusive speedrunners should be removed; however, there is not even close to universal agreement on this. Many people cite that leaderboards are meant to keep track of the history of a speed game, and thus times of abusers should not be removed, in order to preserve that history. Even if many do agree that these people's times should be removed, many also disagree, and it can be hard for moderators to make committal decisions regarding this issue.
A tool that the website could incorporate that would greatly reduce this issue would be a tool to anonymize a submitted run to the public. This would allow moderators to hide the proof video, site account and social media links of a submitted run, to all except moderators of the game. Moderators could then also reverse this change if new evidence comes to light.
This solution would address most of the concerns of both sides and would allow communities to make stances on these issues without as much commitment or dispute.
Is this a functionality that speedrun.com could add in the near future?
