The person who resubmitted is probably just him pretending to be a different person
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.

If a judge isn't being able to sync a movie, despite it being already sync verified, is that a good reason to unclaim the judging?

Do ROM hacks count? If so, there are a lot of Metroid hacks to choose

I couldn't get the movie to sync, the hash in the movie is different from the game version you gave in the link

Are you using 1.4.6?
Yes
Yeah, this TAS was made in 1.4.5

I got the movie to sync, but I have a question: Were all of those inputs in the end necessary?

This is probably the best WarioWare TAS I've ever seen, amazing stuff. Also, the movie synced for me

Nice improvement, I would love to see (and maybe make) an 100% TAS of challenge mode

I have a question: If I didn't make that content warning, would a content warning have been considered in the first place?
Content warning: This movie contains flashing lights, gore, a depiction of suicide and a dead animal corpse.

As it turns out, the maze questions break on any framerate higher than the base framerate, so this movie has to stay at 24fps

Using a version with the same md5 hash as you and I'm not using the --no-gui line

I'm not sure if this is a problem on my end, but the movie file you put has no inputs

So this submission can now be judged since we have a system for content warnings, but since libTAS framerates for ruffle represent how the FlashPlayer can poll mouse (which is not tied to video refresh rate), we can also accept variable framerate for this game. Would it help this submission, or should I proceed with the judgment?
Just like The Impossible Quiz Book Chapter 1, using a higher framerate would result in a faster time, but unlike Book 1, this does not change the route, making it less interesting. Still, I might make a version with a higher framerate. Also, I have a question: could someone obsolete this movie just by increasing the framerate and nothing else?

Due to popular demand, I've added some notes

Why is the submission text empty?
Basically, I had this idea that was like "what if all the necessary movie information was in the movie itself?" which is why I write stuff like the md5 hash and the tricks in the run
The submission text is just as much for the benefit of the audience as it is the judge. It's also the best place to list sync instructions. Ideally you want to make it as easy as possible for judges to judge the submission, and easy for the general audience to understand what is happening in your TAS. Forcing every user to setup the correct TAS environment (game, emulator, etc) just to learn about the submission is frustrating.
This isn't a problem because I provided an encode, if I didn't I would understand there being a problem.

The source of the version I used is www.addictinggames.com, so I'm pretty sure I'm using a correct version. Also, I checked the MD5 hash of the version you showed me, and it has the exact same hash as the version I used (the movie itself syncs as well). Just a question: What is the system time you're getting when you start the movie?
