Hello everyone, yes I knoooow this is an old topic and some of you don't want to dig it again. I know. But I can't find any information about it and after all this time, it still bothers me. Let's write it down once and forever, to make this clear (I wanna look really stupid if the information is easy to find...)

It's about a runner banned from the community, and I'm against any form of censorship, there's no taboo subject with me, so I'm gonna say his name and hope I'm offending nobody : Guy2308.

Let's not talk about the decision to ban him, to be honest I don't care at all. What I personally love is the accomplishment regarding the game and not what people are behind (well, there are runners I like of course, but that's not the point).

A decision was made to keep his runs on the leaderboard, under the tag "anonymous" with his run uploaded without him talking or appearing, just the raw gameplay. Which is a valid idea because it satisfies everyone. But since, the run has just disappeared and I have never understood why. Someone can explain ?

NokiDoki (I like you a lot man) was saying himself that putting Guy2308 anonymous was a good compromise to separate the runner from the run, and some runners like Inkstar (like you too man) considered himself being one rank below on the leaderboard because of Guy2308's time.

I know some other runners like Oatfloaker seems to have deleted their WR. I can understand. But for Guy2308, his run was saved by the community. Why not making it appear on the leaderboard, especially when his times are still avalaible on the "WR History" guide ? This is quite a milestone in SMS's history. If it was a random time by a random guy, I would not discuss the mod's choices, I know it's tiring for them to justifiy any action to anyone.

Thanks if you have read everything, and thanks to give me an answer with respect. I don't want to rot the atmosphere, I prefer spreading loves lol. But I want to know. Maybe it's explained on the Discord but I don't often use it and don't want to come in just for this unpleasant question.

Have a nice day everyone.
