I'm starting to get very tired of people complaining about other people placing 'markers' or sub-standard scores. I'm not attacking JoustGod for joking about the term, because that wasn't the focus of his posting. As for everyone else, you know who you are.(posted 9605 days ago)1. First of all, the obvious. A good score for one player is not the same as a good score for another....we all know this.
2. Second, telling players they *shouldn't* be allowed to upload bad scores is the equivalent of holding a TG tournament and saying "Sorry. World record holders only." My initial scores in the tournament (let alone MARP) for Gyruss, Lock 'n' Chase, and Zzyzzyxx were all pathtetic. They've gotten better.
3. New players are NOT going to be encouraged to come to a site that openly laughs and scorns their scores. I won't point fingers, but we've already seen examples of this in a few recent posts.
As a final note, Ben Jos, whatever scores you made, you earned, dammit. Let's leave it at that, and instead of putting down other people's accomplishments, let's focus on our own. I consider 5 points on Krogman's Galaga score to be a major achievement, and if people start telling me that that's not worth anything, than I don't have much further interest in being part of this group.
