Good luck and enjoy your time in speedrun.com :)
I remember a Elo staff said that, "I know the (speedrun.com) team is working really hard and is so keen to do their best for the community."
Maybe we can give some time to Elo to fit themselves more in speedrun.com? While we know there are many updates done by Elo does not fit the speedrun community, maybe now what we can do now is... looking forward to more updates from Elo to speedrun.com, I guess? but after all, what I can see Elo's update to speedrun.com is partly positive but mostly gives negative impact towards speedrun community. Hopefully Elo is really working hard to listen to the community's opinion.

Can leaderboard moderator change "Timing ends on either the screen displaying "Great!" or "K.O." the final fight, as it'll result in the same ending." to "Timing ends on either the screen displaying "Great!", "Cool!", "Perfect!" or "K.O." the final fight, as it'll result in the same ending." because I find that "Cool!" and "Perfect!" is the possible result of the end screen

Q: Is there version difference of the game? A: Yes, players can only spin the wheel three times per day in Japanese version while other versions do not.
Q: Why Snivy has only 6 HP but it is shown to have 66 HP? A: This problem only happens in non-Japanese version. Actually it is 6/6 HP but "/" is not shown. This problem happens to other Pokémon too.
Q: What should I do if I reach the limit of playing the game 3 times (not spinning the wheel 3 times)? A: Even though non-Japanese version does not have 3 times spinning limit, the games have 3 times playing limit. If you are using Flashpoint / Flash player with .swf file. Here is the location of the save file stored: %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player You can delete the file inside this folder (if you do not mind the save data of other flash games get deleted too) and restart the game. Q: Can I play the game using BlueMaxima's Flashpoint or Adobe Flash Player? Yes, you can. BlueMaxima's Flashpoint and Adobe Flash Player are not counted emulators in this leaderboard.
Series mod allowed me to post this thread so I posted here. Here is the server for the people who are interested in speedrunning Tetris games: https://discord.gg/wwNDmzhNgQ
First of all, I have to think the people who helped me and encouraged me. It really helps me. This makes me remember my teacher once said to me that I was a positive person. I do not want to get affected just because some people do not consider the thing comprehensively. Like other users said to me, what I needed to do is not to pay attention to them. I have learnt to control myself from those situation. I should not stop here just because few of the people. I should better to move on.

To ensure the fairness and the availability of the runs, we will make the following change of the leaderboard: If any run is found private / unavailable after the run is verified, moderators will reject the run. We may miss some runs that are not available, so feel free to contact moderators if you find any runs that is unavailable.
(Follow-up of https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/10j5q ) (Don't ask why Pika use third-person pronoun) After all those things, Pika keeps getting attacked / targeted in a Discord server. People there keep targeting Pika has bad moderation to the leaderboard so they even demoted Pika from being admin in the server and even laughed / insult them. When Pika turns on computer every day, Pika is scared of the DM from Discord being unkind to him. The hand / leg are always paralyzed when Pika gets unfairly treated when some people do not consider the things comprehensively. My mental health gets heavily affected.
the run states that the run ends when you enter the portal so I do not think it would be a big problem
I mean it is appropriate to have critiquing sometimes if it is reasonable but sometimes there are just kind of people critiquing other people without understanding the whole thing. Guess I should have explained more clear
To be easier to understand Cheating in speedrunning / exam / game is obviously a unfair actions. Do you think those are acceptable? Obviously no, that is why being fair is important
If someone is not respectful, they would disrespect other people in some ways like insulting. That affects the mental health of someone gets disrespected very hard.
Also being rude (not kind) will make people do not want to stay in a community.
I hope you can understand via those examples
