3rd place should be the lowest placing possible

Post by Richy Cream »

Why do people bother sending in recordings of 13th place and so on? Do they really think their score is something to be recognized? I think any place below 3rd just takes up space and causes longer page loading. Im sure many would agree.

The presence of recordings up to 13th place, and even below, is due
to two main reasons: many recs now are so low in the standing 'couse
better scores have been submitted in the meantime, and the owners of
such recordings haven't deleted 'em yet.

<p>

The other reason is an old story here....we've had a long discussion
about submissions of cheap recs just to earn a few points, but it
drove us nowhere.....

<p>

I hope you'll submit quality recs only....

<p>

Enjoy your stay at MARP.

I agree, but this has been brought up before here. The main point was
that this way more people can get participated here, also sometimes
one of the top 3 records doesn't playback for you.

<p>

But what if 500000 emulation friends want to submit at
Galaga...That's not going to happen, many people do have standards of
some degree when submitting inps.

<p>

Nevertheless top 5 scores only would be good. When it comes to
leaderboard scores, it's stupid that people get lb points from very
poor scores, what's the point of that kind of leaderboard. But that's
another issue.

<p>

see you later space invader

Would this be a case of those 'stupid old posts nobody reads' being
useful? Hm. :)

Please dont tell me we are going to start the elitist comments again,
memory concerns are not a major issue anymore, so there should be no
problem to anyone if someone posts a score that isn't up to your
caliber.
