Hey everyone.

This post is to announce that we have two additional moderators in the form of CptPie and myself (Denim_AK). There’s been an increase in submitted runs lately and we want to make sure everyone’s runs get to be acknowledged in a timely manner.

Other actions we will be taking this week are providing a clarified version of the rules. As of yet no actual changes to the rules are being made, there are just a couple points that we felt deserved clarification.

We will also be reverifying a handful of runs from a particular category that we discovered an oversight in how that category has been timed.

We would encourage anyone who wants to play a role in shaping how we move forward to join the Ace Combat 7 Speedrunning Discord, as we occasionally have discussions and polls there to make sure that any changes that get made reflect the desires of the community at large.

We are excited to have an increased number of active runners and encourage community members to check the leaderboards every few days as we aim to make future run verification time decrease to only a day or two so we can watch the competitions play out in real time. Since we now have enough moderators to do so, we will also be enacting a “no self verification policy” just to increase future transparency and integrity. Good luck everyone, feel free to message us on Discord if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Thank you.
