Since this board has become a mess and apparently some IRC meeting is being called to address this madness (at least, that's what I'm assuming) there's just one thing I wanted to comment on.(posted 9215 days ago)I wholeheartedly agree with Bubble's statement about how players should receive a notice if one of their scores is DQ'ed for whatever reason. I mean, think about it... is there anybody here who checks up on all their recordings every day? No? Without checking the database for your recordings, there's a chance you may not know that one of your scores was affected. The changes are only listed on the "Up" page, and even then it only holds 50 entries... a player moving a bunch of recordings to Deleted could easily wipe out an editor changing your score.
Case in point, I for the longest time did not know that my Intrepid score was zero'ed out. I was not informed in any way, whether by mail or by IRC, about the fact that all the scores had been wiped out because of emulation issues in previous betas. I don't care for the game THAT much and my score wasn't that great, I'll confess to recording it for leaderboard points a long time ago. So losing that score isn't a big deal to me. But just a little mail notice about how the scores were subject to deletion would've made me happier than having to find out on my own.
I will say this much though, I greatly appreciate Chad's efforts to keep me in check when there's a problem with one of my recordings :) The other editors, well, hope you're listening. You know you guys are still cool by me too.
Oh, and JSW nailed it in his post - the old MARP is pretty much dead. The site has changed a lot in the last two and a half years... good in some ways, bad in others. Since this was supposed to be a short post and I don't want to stir up more trouble, I'll stop now.
-Viva la MARP... please....
