I want to know this so I could introduce a new game to the website and because my friend mrjimmysteel25 did it with wii play motion

People aren’t submitting game requests to the site without proof. If they are, then the game requests are rejected since you need a run of a substantial portion of the game to have it accepted.

It’s not allowed to request games without a run first to prevent empty LBs from being set up and abandoned with never any activity.

picture proof should be allowed

[quote=IlluminaTea]picture proof should be allowed[/quote] No, it really shouldn’t be. I can think of 2 issues right off the bat.

1. It can take 5 minutes of Google searching to find an image of the end of the game. Doesn’t prove you did a run.

2. How do you define a picture showing a “substantial portion” of a game? A timer next to it means nothing since that’s easy to fake too.

A picture doesn’t verify you actually did the run, especially when it comes to requesting new games. And if it can’t be verified that you did a run, then it goes back to boards ending up abandoned with no runs ever submitted because people “thought they might do a run in the future” but never do (this has happened a lot in the past, hence why the video of substantial proof rule was put in place for requesting games).

I assume all runs with picture or no visual evidence at all to be fake runs tbh

@Timmiluvs I'm talking about a picture of IGT, not just a picture of the end screen of a game @KomradeKontroll Even though someone has picture proof of a time you still say it's definitely fake?

I can still see how picture proof could easily be faked in photoshop, but everything can be faked. No form of proof is perfect

@IlluminaTea Could be edited. I actually have no problem with picture proof for hard to record consoles like Handheld consoles but I feel like especially good times should have a video because for those games you could easily cheat a WR with some editing skills.

/edit due to IlluminaTea's new post: Of course everything can be edited but its much harder to do it realistic with videos.

@IlluminaTea

I didn't say anything is fake other than runs with no visual evidence. If the visual evidence was just a picture though I would probably reject that too, since it's easy to fake.

I see what you did here.

If you don't have the time to make video proof that you did a run, I doubt you have time to be a proper mod.

https://www.cyberscore.me.uk/chart/150628 Here's a link to another leaderboard for the game I was trying to submit. What's the difference between these scores on cyberscore and times on srcom? Are you saying most scores on cyberscore are fake?

This wibsite isn’t Cyberscore and I don’t care how they run their site. If Cyberscore asked me if picture proof was good enough I’d tell them “No, it’s not because photoshop exists”.

A couple people submited photoshopped scores to the Flappy Bird leaderboard. Fortunately, I found out they were fake.

It is super easy to edit pictures and anyone can do it you don't even need photoshop there are free programmes too. Maybe if the game would be super hard to record then maybe but video proof is a lot harder to fake. :) so I think even if the game is hard to record people still try personally. ^_^

I think you shouldn't request a leaderboard just to copy scores over from another place. You should make a leaderboard if you want to actually run a game. And I, personally, only request a leaderboard once I've got a decent run.

I see your point
