Hi my name is callum and I’m a friend of Logan’s. He gave me permission to resubmit this tas on his behalf. I don’t have discord like he does but you can message me on the forums here if you want
CasualPokePlayer: Having a non-banned user submit a TAS solely created by a banned user does not make it eligible for publication. Cancelling.
Samsara: For context, Logan was recently banned for extremely poor behavior on Discord. He had been banned for the same reason prior to this, but he was unbanned about two weeks ago after promising to show good behavior. As you can see, that good behavior didn't last long. The account that submitted this isn't "a friend of Logan", it's Logan himself lying to circumvent his ban. While it is still true that solo submissions from banned users are not allowed at all for publication even when submitted by others, I've updated this submission from cancellation to outright rejection for being an unauthorized submission so that it does not get mistakenly reinstated should we ever choose to change that rule.
I'm looking over the submissions that were rejected for trolling reasons, and I noticed that thesethreesubmissions were previously rejected because they were submitted using alt accounts (there may be a couple more that I missed). This submission falls under the "unauthorized" category...
Perhaps the rejection reason, either for this submission or the other three mentioned earlier, could be updated for the sake of consistency. Just my opinion though.
Yaaay, I'm an active player now! :D (as of 11/9/2024) Thanks to TASVideos for the support, they're awesome.
I'm Asumeh, semi-expert SMB1 TASer. :)
Check out some of the TASes I don't submit/upload to TASVideos on my YouTube channel, if you'd like.
In progress:
- Extra Mario Bros. (redo) (with HappyLee and w7n) - I'm currently assisting with finding improvements before the boss. On hold; we're currently struggling to confirm that we have the fastest route. Some debugging may also help with finding glitch exits, but neither of us are experts in that field.
- Record my older TASes (excluding any obsolete TASes) and upload to YouTube.
- Pretty busy at the moment...
Check out my other links here. (Mostly WIP hehe)
I cannot confidently speak to any of the examples you've given as they are from quite a long time ago. First two being from 15 years ago, and the last from 8 years ago.
The author may have authorized it, but that doesn't mean we are allowed to proceed with the judging process.
The "unauthorized" reason will typically mean either:
The submitter didn't have authorization to submit the work (e.g. plagerism or authors didn't want it submitted)
One or more authors were banned. Meaning they can no longer participate/communicate in the judging process and as such we cannot move forward
In the latter case, if the author(s) are unbanned sometime in the future, then those submissions may be re-evaluated.
Whereas "troll" will typically indicate that the submission itself is problematic in some form, such as willfully ignoring submission rules. The 3rd movie you mentioned seems to be an example of this, given the indication that the user was previously restricted from making submissions.
