Speedrun.com

Speedrun.com is a website that provides leaderboards and forums, and it allows communities to easily upload resources for speedrunning. Speedrun.com was created in 2013 by Pac, and it was acquired by Elo in 14 October 2020.

Speedrun.com was partnered with Guinness World Records in the past.

Roles

Moderators

Super Moderator

Super Moderators can add Verifiers, Moderators, and other Super Moderators to the game. However, they cannot change the position of other Super Moderators once they are added as Super Moderator. They also have all the permissions of Moderator and Verifier.

Moderator

Moderators can edit leaderboard settings (such as categories or rules), edit runs, and automatically verify their own runs. They have all the permissions that Verifiers have.

Verifier

Verifiers can review runs in the queue, but they cannot edit runs that are already verified/rejected.

Elo staff

Elo staff refers to people who are employed at Elo (the company who owns speedrun.com).

Original Donor

Original Donor refers to the donators of speedrun.com before the site got acquired by Elo. Beforehand, Original Donors could pay to make their username a gradient between two colors. They could also have animated profile pictures, and access beta translations of the website. These perks were made free for everyone after speedrun.com was sold and didn't need people to donate anymore, but their contribution is still honored with a special badge next to their name.

Removed

Translator

Translators were the users who translated languages for the website.

Website feature

Speedrun.com iceberg

Users on speedrun.com have made an image that shows an iceberg of the site.

Staff Test

Staff test is possibly used by site staff to test the beta features of speedrun.com. LewisAndSpark, a former employee from Elo, submitted a run to the leaderboard.

Farming

Farming refers to obtaining a high amount of a statistic (i.e. world records, runs, modded games, etc.) Mod farming is the most controversial and is universally frowned upon as it promotes getting mod just to have it rather than genuinely taking care of the leaderboard, and it is against the site rules. There is also a community called Farmington which has leaderboards related to farming and tools to help you farm.

Invalid usernames

Invalid usernames usually refer to usernames that have less than 4 characters, although there are some that have 21 characters.

Rejected: Spam

When a leaderboard Moderator rejects a run with the reason "Spam", the run will be sent to site staff to review and decide if the runner should be banned.
