Based on some of the discussion regarding leaderboard rules that took place in the discord server recently, the leaderboard mods have put together a survey to help gauge the community's stance on these topics.

Alternatively, it could just be the Save the Animals category, with the base category of the run being a filterable field -- Zoast's WR RBO run could go up, for instance.
Thoughts?
In my opinion, SNES and Genesis should be different categories. For the fastest speed on each, SNES takes 28 frames to go down a second of game time, where Genesis uses 25 frames. That makes for a 12% inherent advantage, similar to the advantage NTSC has over PAL, and plenty of games have separate categories for PAL.
In this case, the differences between the ports is more substantial than that as well -- the AI on Genesis seems to be more aggressive, and the block and steal mechanics feel different.
About the rule "Only one action can be mapped to any given button. For example you cannot bind Up and Right to the same button."
I use a Logitech F510 as my controller, and it seems like it registers Up-Right as a separate button -- pressing the D-pad that way hits neither the Up button nor the Right button. In order to make my controller act like an SNES controller I have to bind those functions like this:
Am I allowed to use this controller, or would I need to go another route, like playing with my keyboard?
