As the previous feedback thread got closed, I decided to open a new us for us all to discuss feedback with one another. This is in my opinion something that even with the inclusion of the new supporthub, shouldn't have been taken away from us.

Of course this is might not be recorgnized or read by elo, so any feedback you want to be guaranteed to be forwarded to elo should be submitted through: https://www.speedrun.com/support/tickets/new

Perfect

Nice! @Matse007

And with that, I'll go ahead and port over all of my ideas to this thread. Four years of ideas. All the good and the bad.

And just a small front-end update to suggest based on the new Support Hub.

From any leaderboard: Edit Games -> Game types Note: game types can only be set by content mods. Use this thread to request changes.

Should be changed to: Note: game types can only be set by content mods. Use the Support Hub to request changes.

they'll delete it, you don't really think they plan to be transparent with us do you?

the site is a good forum topic!

Besides, the site mods are probably not going to see our suggestions.

Gems in the feedback tread:

• Leaderboard Features: -- Ability to not show platforms on the leaderboard in favor of custom variables -- Different icons for different kind of proofs (video, picture etc.) -- Timing Features: --- Option to sort by Custom variables first then Time --- Option to use RTA as IGT Tie Breaker --- Use 1/100 of a second instead of millisections as a option --- Custom timing method (ability to rename IGT / RTA w/o loads) -- better variable management: ---Assign variables to subcategories ---Assign variables to more than one category

• Run Submission Features

• ability to embed youtube playlists

• Autofilling Zeros in milliseconds (to avoid confusion)

• Forum features: -- Forum moderators -- maybe new Forum Software (other forums have way more capabilities) -- :code: as emoji code instead of just the code

• Profile features: -- ability to highlight runs -- maybe some minor stats -- Github link as social link

• IL Features: -- I wont even touch this, much to do and i dont know much of it because i wont bother to even try to use them currently (I hope somebody can post in depht about this)

• Game/Series Moderator features: -- Sorting "Runs awaiting verification" by game -- moderator comments on runs (at best accessible without edit run)

I took a bit of time sorting and writing down some of the (in my opinion) best request i can remember by lurking the feedback forum regulary.

@Sandstorm187 As a former site mod, I can say pretty confidently that someone reads these threads, even if things aren't formally acknowledged.

In any case, I reached out to ask for clarification on the future of this subforum, but I'd be very surprised if they were seriously planning to remove it entirely.

The new support hub sucks, there is no true ticketing system your request is just tossed into a pile somewhere and you have no way to check back up on it like I did with the forum threads. Super annoying

Im still hoping for advanced forum tools/updated forums. Custom flairs, editing thread titles, a better editor.... It is not hard to do that... It really isn't and it would improve quality of life so much. And especially about the custom flair or different pronoun options, we do have now an improved reporting system in the support hub.

I do not see any reason anymore to still deny people that.

Edit: Also yeah, subscribing to threads would be nice

I'd be one to vote for scrapping the main forums altogether. I see more productive community-building happening in speedrunning Discords.

I might see an argument for keeping a tournaments/races/marathons thread to spread awareness of those things, but there's probably a better way to handle those.

Edit: Good points from all who responded. I'd be inclined to appreciate the forums a little more if ELO shows a future commitment to improving forum functionality.

@Oxknifer I mean... why not both? There already is a Discord, throwing the forums away entirely just because "Discord better" would be a huge step backwards.

@Oxknifer discord isnt sorted at all and a pain to document long term. i way more prefer a more modern forum with better moderation. also doing things over the forum is way more "official" than over the discord.

I can just second this Liv. There is the common issue of people no longer agreeing on disagreeing in a discussion and sometimes it results in bans in discord communities/speedrunning discords.

I know the priority is super low on the forums, but it would just be nice and it would show that they do care about the community that is on here.

ILs need a serious rework https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/9smbf

With the inclusion of the support hub and an easy way to report people, one of the major reasonings behind not allowing a custom flair, perhaps in place of the current pronoun system or somehow else, is gone. (Refering to here: https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/supporthub/report-user )

What are now the reasons as to why we cannot get custom flairs? Is it still the fear of a few individuals abusing it, which can now be easily reported? I might be missing something, but I do not see any major reasons that are preventing it from becoming a thing (except for maybe priorities on what is being added to the site)
