Now, I voted yes.
This site is to judge TASES, not hacks. Saying the TAS is bad just because the hack is bad doesn't make sense to me unless it has a direct impact on the entertainment value (a hack where Mario just runs to the right without any obstacles clearly shouldn't be accepted).
It was a very good TAS in my opinion. Even the auto-scrolling levels were okay at worst.

I loved this run. Action was good as always, and I really liked the camera angles you guys used. Yes vote for sure.

Btw, why is it not possible to reach the final boss right away, but the minibosses have to be defeated first?
You have to defeat Bowser the first two times to get the keys to different areas of the castle; IIRC, you can't just glitch through the doors because going through them normally loads a new area.
I fully expect a no-Bowser run to come... Eventually. Somebody will find a way to do it.

I'm convinced that the cake was a lie all long.
I'm still amazed that more than 10 frames could be saved compared to older movies. Nowadays, a M64 run always sounds like a frame war to me. Glad to see I'm wrong.
Anyway, that was great. As every time. Loved it. And we're getting closer of the 5 minutes barrier. Soon!
Yeah, soon. Maybe when the ultimate TAS bot is created.
Anyways, nice improvement, Yes vote.

I think it's logical that unhelpful or even disruptive/destructive reactions and behaviour is not accepted anywhere in the world... You know, I'm talking about communites like TASVideos that made up by several other people who registered here to the forum to get more informations about speedruns concerning the TAS area. The site is about being "nice" and "pedagogic", everybody can understand and learn what We, the TASVideos members make and do anytime anywhere.
So... I don't think anybody would afford more time for being nice to non helpful members... Okay, Warp?
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking.
I was not objecting to the ban or its reasoning. I was simply asking if he was personally warned before executing the ban, giving him an opportunity to change his misbehavior, which I think would have been fair.
He was saying that Xkeeper was too disruptive to deserve a warning... I think.
Personally, I don't agree with this view and instead agree with Warp's idea that people should be warned before a ban.

I know many people have said this already, but a good reason to make bans public is because it sets an example of what not to do.
I know it sounds kind of assish, but I don't mean to be that way.

That would make it a lot easier to download the movies en masse.
Mass downloading is discouraged due to load it places on the server.
Maybe there could be one big file containing all publication files and second one containing all submission files (updated periodically, a'la allmovies.rss).
Ah, I see. The size of the file would probably be huge though and would take forever to download. (Forever is something I sadly don't have)
