I would be fine with it, but there is no UI to actually add games to game groups atm. I am making an issue on github as we speak.
EDIT: I have given all editors catalog movie perms (includes games editing). UI to add to game group might be a little while.

Previously in order to edit publication descriptions, tags, and flags, one needed the vested editor role. Editor privileges were not sufficient. However, the vested editor role also came with moving pages, deleting pages, and editing system pages, which is strangely powerful for a non-staff role. A lot of the time, we gave people vested editor not because they were trusted with editing system pages etc, but in order to edit publication descriptions etc. As such all editors are now able to edit publication meta data. The vested editor role was removed entirely. If you need pages deleted or moved, or for whatever reason need a system page edited ask staff.

TASVideos has just undergone a major overhaul. It now has new features such as https, dark mode, mobile friendly design and others. Expect some bugs for the near future and report them to https://github.com/TASVideos/tasvideos. Additional topics will probably be made in the near future for discussion of features and other things.

Maybe not much more so than the site itself being English language anyway. Perhaps there could be another way to highlight good and effortful submission notes.
I already didn't really like the idea of submission text awards, now I'm kinda convinced its bad.

I'd like to note my questions don't necessarily indicate I'm leaning one way or another, but should be answered by the community at large. My one hard rule though is that a staff member be able to run the tool and encode a test run with it.

So something that I have been wanting for a long time is support for single game/series/engine tasing tools. On that note, I felt one of the first steps towards this would be a framework of sorts for submitting them to be looked at, and bare minimum rules behind what can be acceptable. Now there is the Laws of TAS page, but that feels a lot more philosophical and more aimed at emulators.
So what I think at the bare minimum should be required for a TASing tool to be acceptable:
Open source
Able to be played back between different people
Movie format that allows for determining run time in some fashion. This can be achieved in a number of ways.
Documentation on how to run the tool.
One staff member running a test movie and parser support (done on our end, but try to make this as easy as possible).
Things that I feel need discussion
AV Dumping support. Should internal dumping be a requirement? Should compatibility with a lossless capture program like KKapture be required? Or are we open to recording lossily?
How deterministic do we want it to be at minimum? Would it be acceptable if you need a specific video card sometimes like dolphin?
A distinct file extension. I'm pretty sure about this one but I'd like confirmation from adelikat on how this works.
Changes to games should be fairly minimal and mainly for the sake of creating consistent rerecording.
There might be something else I'm missing. Feel free to discuss.

There is one more point I would like touched on. When Bruno and I went to tasvideos administration with proof that spike was behind the continued usage of alts, we were to put things bluntly, blown off by Nach. He gaslit us, telling us that he had some text speech pattern recognition program that told us it wasn't spike. Now clearly either his program was garbage, or it was a lie. He blew us off in other ways too, obstructing TASVideos from being accountable for the behavior of its staff members. This is completely unacceptable behavior from tasvideos administration, and I was deeply disappointed by them.

Thank you deeply for coming forward and properly apologizing for this. To me this was always a dark chapter in the history of the site, one during which I struggled to justify my continued presence on the site at all. I am glad to finally have proper closure on this.

I support this change in administration. I have dealt with a great many frustrations over the years, and numerous people asking me if it was even worth it. To that the answer is yes. Change is happening.

503 error was the site restarting to deploy changes. The internal server error is curious though.

There is now a new URL for the demo of the rewritten TASVideos. It can be found at https://demo.tasvideos.org/
Discussion can still be done in this thread.

Should also mention the fact that [939] Genesis Marble Madness (USA) "1 player" in 2:39.44 by SprintGod is not meant to have a branch.
The two player mode is a competition mode of "who's the fastest", a sprint mode if you will.
This one has already been reverted back to branchless after a quick check with other Staff members.
Why wouldn't the 2 players mode be acceptable? Wouldn't that also result in beating in the game?
Do the 2 players interact in any way? Otherwise it's the same case as say SMB which feos told me years ago wouldn't need the player amount.
EDIT: Looks like the two marbles can collide with each other. Hrm... I'm not entirely sure on this.

So looking into runs that are labeled "Major skip glitch" with obsoleted runs, so far I'm not thinking this one really needs to have an obsoleted run reinstated for forgoes major skip glitch. Only one stage is really glitched to heck, all the others are played as normal. Not sure if it even should have the tag.

I think I timed to whatever the RTA players used for auto splitting.
