@PritstiftI get that a lot of effort was made into speed running maps, but if you are talking about someone impersonating your name, and the other assumption that some records could stay for years, couldn’t it be that a person who doesn’t deserve a record could have it for years?
Another point is that if you’ve done it once, can’t it be done again? In trying new tactics or trying to beat the map even faster than your last time you will eventually set the record again anyways, and nothing will have changed. Unless you decide to never run a particular map for speed run again, eventually you will make a record as fast as your current run. It is much less complicated than trying to preserve so many records and having cases of people impersonating to get the record etc.
If there’s a solution to reserving character name ingame then I think it could be an option but otherwise I agree with Kubik that it’s abit too messy.
