I made a Discord server for anyone who is interested in running, routing or discussing this game: https://discord.gg/MsVanmT
No, this is stupid.

It would help if you said which game.
But I’m pretty sure that’s banned. https://www.speedrun.com/gtasa/thread/ar4sg/1#n35ul
It could be interesting if properly routed, but only the game's cheat codes should be used. No external tools or modding.

I guess you can do it during Kent Paul call if you're fast.
There is no leaderboard for vigilante here. It should be added.
There should be no arbitrary time penalties.
@DarkViperAU Obviously trying to actively sabotage other runners would be considered cheating as well.
If the run was done according to the rules at the time it should be allowed to be on the board, that's how runs with ifruit were handled. As for the other points you mention, while it's shitty behaviour I don't think that should warrant a ban from the leaderboard. The only reason someone should be banned is for cheating. (e.g. Anti).
Timing start and game start rule
The timer should start after the loading bar disappears after fresh game start, and yes every run should have the same ruleset as WRs currently have. Old runs can be retimed by adding however many seconds it takes from loading bar disappearance to control gain. (If the time it takes is inconsistent then the cutscene skip is the best option). Regardless all runs should require fresh game start.
Accidental cheats should never be allowed, as they may affect the game in unforeseen ways. There are ways to avoid this from happening, so there is no reason to accept it.
Runs with no video
If a run was verified at the time of submission it should be given the benefit of doubt and in my opinion it should not be removed from the leaderboard. Of course broken urls should be fixed if possible, or be replaced with mirrored videos if they exist. Perhaps a comment can be added to the run entries to clarify that there was a verified video but it is now unfortunately unavailable.
