[quote]Any disrespect to me or the mods will result in your runs rejected and banning from the forum.[/quote] That's not how leaderboards work. Just because you dislike someone doesn't give you the right to exclude them from the leaderboard. If you reject a run for that, you won't hold the position for long. You are a representative of the community, not the ruler.

I'm not going to have disrespect in here. I'll take suggestions but I make decisions as I see fit. Coming in here and acting like the head mod won't get you anywhere, and neither will rude remarks. That's all there is to it.

@kamepa , I clicked on the wrbot post for this game out of curiosity to see what it was and stumbled upon this post after reading what Kromer wrote in his vods.

So I read the forums to see the conversations and while Kromer could have worded his post better so it might not come off as a rude response even to a potentially rude comment/situation, his suggestions and arguments still have to be considered as valid claims because this is a Global Leaderboard and part of the speedrunning community as a whole. Any game can blow up or have 3-10 runners come in to run it out of nowhere and I have seen this happen for a few games that are very old so it's important to setup a strong foundation from the start now that the sr community is rapidly growing especially if you look at the https://www.speedrun.com/statistics. This is a growing and evolving community meaning that members should strive toward representing themselves and the community in a positive manner and even more so if you moderate a game because a general expectation would be to set a positive example. I can feel for you if you have something going on in your personal life that caused you to extend some frustration in this domain which is what I suspect happened but I would encourage you to look at things differently if you want to be apart of the community. If any of your recent posts were directed toward ROMaster2 , that is a shining example of misplaced hate/anger/frustration, if you weren't aware there is very few full mods of this site and those who have it have been with the speedrunning community for a long time and for charity events, races, discussions for rulesets/terminology and so much more. A lot of the things they do, they do not have to do. Blowing past regular courtesy is one thing but throwing out a statement like "Coming in here and acting like the head mod won't get you anywhere" is toxic, counterproductive and may actually result in being removed as a moderator for this game or even from the site if any unacceptable behaviors/actions persist because none of what he said was unreasonable or disrespectful,he is merely extending whatever measures are necessary to take care of the community as a whole.

@BnH247 I'm inclined to think that he was talking about Kromer.

@kamepa Is there a reason why you removed Kromer's post and removed your comment of "Go post on another forum. Your arguments are invalid and you have 0 respect."? If Kromer wasn't so haughty in the forums you would have been removed by now; the only reason you're still a mod is because there's a rather small pool of people who are qualified. I have a fallback user if all else fails.

Alright this is getting way out of hand. This forum needs to be used for discussions relating to BLACK only, which I have not helped with at all. Also @BnH247 I'm running the page as I see fit. Anything personal does not belong in here whatsoever and I'm not bringing it in here. Being the person that started this game board, I'm not going to allow disrespect of any kind in my forum, but that is being dealt with. Now as for @Kromer and @SHIGINT this argument needs to end. We are all contributing here to make this game prosper and become more recognized. The important thing here is that we all are passionate for BLACK and that is all that matters. Hopefully that is the end of this thread.

Nobody is getting ahead of their selves. I saw it as you were out of line with the way you spoke to me and SHIGINT. Your opinions are welcome here in the forums but you won't be listened to if you don't show any respect to the people. This argument is done :)

This thread is done. If anyone has anything else they want to say about this, join the discord and argue there. There is nothing productive about this.
