New poll about adding un-scouted individual level categories to Category Extensions

New polls going up today on whether or not to add two new major categories to CE: 100% Un-Scouted and 100% Deathless Un-Scouted. The categories will apply to all diff 10 ILs currently available on CE, and will have the same proof requirements as the current un-scouted full game categories.

When voting in the poll please consider if you would meaningfully engage with the categories, not just whether you would be "ok" with them being added. Meaningfully engaging with the category includes:

• Submitting runs for the category
• Developing strats for the category
• Coaching runs for the category
• Planning runs/routes for the category

Nobody in the community wants to contribute to category bloat, meaning categories with few or no submissions. So please consider whether you would actually want to contribute to these categories when you make your vote!

New polling system implemented

We have also implemented a new system for polls going forward where only those with a verified run on the Helldivers 2 speedrun.com board or on CE will be able to vote. We tried hard to make sure everyone with a verified run has the role which enables them to vote, but we may have missed a few, so please send a message in #verified-voters if you have a run up and still need the role. The new system has been implemented because the purpose of the poll is to gauge opinion among those who submit speedruns to speedrun.com, not just the general public. To clarify, your run can be any run, not necessarily a first place time.

Requests for other un-scouted IL major categories

If there is desire among the community for other unscouted IL categories such as Any% Un-Scouted or Extract% Un-Scouted please say so in #changes-and-suggestions. At this time we are only polling on 100% since that is what has been most requested recently.
