I was writing a post saying that it feels like there's some misunderstanding about the effort to clear up the confusion and your intent to bring up genuine concern about it (that's at least what I thought it was) ... but is this what this thread is really going for? I'm confused as to what the fundraiser has anything to do with clearing up the confusion.
Do you have LeKukie's financial records or something?
I assume he can make about 25 USD in a normal livestream, and maybe 250 USD in a world record livestream. And the gofundme page shows already $8,228 donation, more than enough to fix his roof plenty of times.
He got the RTA community on his back, so I'm not worried about him. We each face difficulties in our lives. Like I said, life in China can be harder. We each need to deal with our own problems. We don't need to make it TASVideos problem just because he submitted 1 TAS and 4 forum posts.
I'll repeat.

Why'd you bring up the fundraiser at all? This doesn't have to be a zero sum game where if somebody from the rta community gets support, the tasing community cannot get any. If you're going through a crisis, bring it up so people can support you through it.
If you're going through rough shit, just let people know. You don't have to keep others from getting monetary support just because you haven't.
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero

I never said it's a "zero sum game". I have nothing against the RTA community or LeKukie.
I said in the original post:
It is because LeKukie and the RTA community frequently use the phrase “TAS tie,” while rarely clarifying that it's actually “no L+R” TAS rather than the “any%” or “warps” TAS, that more and more confusion arise.
That's originally not an issue with TASVideos or the TAS community, but it's relevant since we're helping LeKukie from the RTA community instead of help clearing up confusion about SMB TASing.
Recent projects: SMB warpless TAS (2018), SMB warpless walkathon (2019), SMB something never done before (2019), Extra Mario Bros. (best ending) (2020).
Sorry HappyLee, I would love to help clear up some confusion but unfortunately I helped someone with a maths problem a couple of months ago. Maybe next month?

You could just say that you don't care a bit. That would be more honest.

And how exactly is this our problem? We already established that the SMB RTA community should try to clear up the confusion. What are we supposed to do?

I’m confused, do you not want us to help LeKukie or something?
This is a warning. Continued bad faith arguing, or any other rule-breaking, will result in a ban.
Well this new TASVideos adminstration really likes to ban people, just for making arguments. I've been banned in 2023 just for defending my work. You guys really show no improvement. This abuse of power makes me sick.
Who are you to call me with "bad faith"? You're a mind reader who can read my faith? I'm here to raise a real issue.
It's really funny to me, that instead of defending the published SMB TAS and clearing up the confusion, you guys seem to be more concerned about donating to a former RTA world record holder of SMB, who makes a lot more money in a single livestream than what I made from TASing in 20 years.
We (the moderation team and senior staff) do not ban people for simply making arguments. You were banned in 2023 for repeatedly attacking a staff member under the claim that she intentionally changed the site rules to spite you and your submission, despite being warned to act civil. You were then warned in late-2024 for attacking a different staff member.
Your actions today have not been mere arguments. Despite the warning you were just given, rather than reflecting on your behavior, you have chosen to escalate with more baseless claims against us; all while continuing to assert false narratives about our decisions and your own past history.
It's clear your behavior has not improved since your previous ban. As such, you are now banned indefinitely.
