Are you purposefully ignoring us mods? Both me and BJ03 have told this isn't for posting your challenges, it's for asking questions about the rules or asking about a challenge validation mistake. If you want to continue this, just know there will be consequences 😉

If you don't know what to say then dont say anything at all. Forums dont exist for the purpose of sending messages, they exist for the purpose of talking to people online. If you're sending a message just so you can send a message, then you're using the forum wrong, your messages should be for talking to other people such as asking questions about challenge rules or just general chats in other places

Hello Everyone ^^
I hope you are all doing well,

Recently, the Validator Team have had a few complaints about the rejection of some challenges. They seem to not understand why we make the decisions that we do, but I assure you that we don't reject any to piss anyone off. In our opinions, there is always something that isn't optimized to be a published challenge, and here are some reasons why they may be rejected.


1 - INAPPROPRIATE CHALLENGES
If a challenge has a name or idea that contains swearing, insults, NSFW content... (basically anything bad), it will be rejected. We don't really get this much which is good.

2 - GENUINELY IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGES
Some challenges are deliberately made to not be beaten by anyone, even people with the highest skill or even TAS if it was to exist in MKPC. (ex. Complete the track in less than 3 seconds) We see this as a way to get free challenge points and potentially rig the system.

3 - SPAM OF CHALLENGES
Basically, do not make a ton of challenges. I know this sounds strange coming from me since I originally created 38 on Bathaniel Nandy, but this can also be a way of gaining a lot of challenge points. (obviously my intention wasn't to rig the system though, otherwise I wouldn't be validator :p )

4 - RIDICULOUSLY EASY CHALLENGES
When a challenge is too easy, it no longer becomes a "challenge". It's more of a task and requires little to no skill at all. (ex Complete the Track) In this example there is nothing to increase the difficulty of the challenge, so this defeats the whole purpose of making a challenge. (obviously if the course is hard then it's an exception) For these type of challenges to be accepted you need to add some conditions that make the gameplay a little harder and more interesting.

5 - ZONES WITH NO HINTS
When you are told to reach a zone but there is nothing to guide you, no skill is involved, everything is pretty much just pure luck and hope. It can also be a way to gain points effortlessly.

6 - REPETITIVE CHALLENGES
When challenges are too similar it gets stupid. An example is:
Complete the track in less than 52 seconds
Complete the track in less than 51 seconds
Complete the track in less than 50 seconds
As you can see there is very little variation, and allows you to beat a bunch of challenges easily.

7 - SECRETS FOR SPEED
If you add invisible shortcuts or ways to become faster to get a better time for a challenge, then it's cheating.

8 - UNPUBLISHED CIRCUITS CAN'T HAVE CHALLENGES
Some people have been releasing challenges without the circuit being published. The problem with this is that the creator, who is anonymous, will manipulate the track after release and gain free challenge points. Because we don't know who created the challenge, the person will be more likely to exploit this. This is why circuits must be published first.

9 - FAKE DIFFICULTIES
Please don't think you can get away with deliberately requesting a fake difficulty. (ex. Requesting a Challenge to be Impossible when it is actually Easy) This gets super annoying for the validators to edit, and also reduces your credibility for future challenges. Obviously it can be unintentional when the difficulty change is small, in which case you're fine. This rule mainly applies to those who think they can exploit the Challenge Point system.

These are pretty much the reasons why we reject challenges. (I may update this in future) Don't assume we do it because we hate you or because we are dumb. We are all human and we will make mistakes every now and then, but you have nothing to worry about if you follow these guidelines. Occasionally the game may bug and automatically manipulate the challenge, so that may be another reason.

If a challenge does happen to be rejected, PLEASE READ THE FEEDBACK before you try to re-upload it. This is another common issue the validators have to deal with, and is quite annoying when we have to reject the same challenge because the creator didn't fix the addressed problems.

Also, please don't get salty if we reject a challenge because we are just trying to do our jobs.

If you want, follow the topic in case you ever need to come back to this.

Goodbye ^^

Bonjour à tous ^^
J'espère que vous allez tous bien,

Récemment, l'équipe des validateurs a reçu quelques plaintes concernant le rejet de certains défis. Les créateurs de défis semblent ne pas comprendre certaines de nos décisions, mais je vous assure qu'on ne refuse pas les défis dans le seul but d'énerver les gens. À notre avis, il y a toujours quelque chose qui n'est pas optimisé pour qu'un défi soit publié, voici quelques raisons pour lesquelles ils peuvent être rejetés.


1 - DÉFIS INAPPROPRIÉS
Si un défi a un nom ou une idée qui contient des jurons, des insultes, du contenu NSFW... (en gros, tout ce qui est mauvais), il sera rejeté. Heureusement, nous n'avons pas beaucoup affaire à ce genre de choses.

2 - DÉFIS COMPLÈTEMENT IMPOSSIBLES
Certains défis sont délibérément faits pour ne pas être complétés par qui que ce soit, même par les meilleurs joueurs ou même à l'aide d'un TAS si cela arrivait à exister sur MKPC. (par exemple, terminer le circuit en moins de 3 secondes) Nous considérons ces types de défis comme un moyen d'obtenir des points de défi gratuitement et éventuellement de truquer le système.

3 - SPAM DE DÉFIS
S'il vous plaît, ne faites pas des tonnes de défis. Je sais que cela peut paraître paradoxal venant de moi puisqu'au départ, j'ai créé 38 défis sur l'arène Bathaniel Nandy, mais cela peut aussi être un moyen de gagner beaucoup de points de défi. (Évidemment,  mon intention n'était pas de truquer le système, sinon je n'aurais jamais pu devenir validateur :p)

4 - DÉFIS RIDICULEMENT FACILES
Lorsqu'un défi est trop facile, il ne devient plus un "défi". Il s'agit plutôt d'une tâche qui ne requiert que peu ou pas de compétences. (par exemple, "Finir le circuit" sans contraintes, sur un circuit facile) Dans l'exemple que je viens de citer, il n'y a rien qui augmente la difficulté du défi, ce qui va donc à l'encontre de l'objectif de la création d'un défi. (évidemment, si le circuit est difficile, pas de problème) Pour que ce type de défi soit accepté, vous devez ajouter certaines conditions qui rendent le gameplay un peu plus difficile et plus intéressant.

5 - ATTEINDRE UNE ZONE, SANS INDICES
Quand on vous dit d'atteindre une zone mais qu'il n'y a rien pour vous guider, aucune capacité n'est impliquée, c'est une question de chance et d'espoir. Cela peut aussi être un moyen de gagner des points sans aucun effort.

6 - DÉFIS RÉPÉTITIFS
Lorsque les défis sont beaucoup trop similaires, c'est juste stupide. En voici un exemple :
Finir le circuit en moins de 52 secondes
Finir le circuit en moins de 51 secondes
Finir le circuit en moins de 50 secondes
Comme vous pouvez le constater, il y a très peu de différences entre ces défis, et cela vous permet facilement de tous les compléter en une seule fois.

7 - ÉLEMENTS CACHÉS
Si vous ajoutez des raccourcis invisibles dans votre création ou des moyens d'être plus rapide pour obtenir un meilleur temps pour un défi, alors c'est de la triche.

8- LES CIRCUITS NON PUBLIÉS NE PEUVENT PAS AVOIR DE DÉFIS
Certaines personnes ont fait des défis sans publier leur circuit. Le problème, c'est que le créateur anonyme peut changer le circuit après sa publication et gagner des points de défis gratuitement. Puisqu'on ne sait pas qui a créé le défi, la personne a encore plus de chance d'en profiter. C'est pourquoi les circuits devraient être publiés en premier.

9 - FAUSSES DIFFICULTÉS
Veuillez ne pas essayer de tricher en indiquant une fausse difficulté (par exemple, indiquer la difficulté Impossible sur un défi qui mérite en réalité d'être Facile). C'est très ennuyeux pour les validateurs qui doivent modifier ça après coup, et ça réduit votre crédibilité pour les futurs défis. Évidemment cela peut être involontaire lorsque la différence de difficulté est faible, auquel cas ce n'est pas un problème. Cette règle s'applique principalement pour ceux qui cherchent à tricher avec le système de points défis.


J'ai donc cité les raisons les plus courantes pour lesquelles nous, validateurs, rejetons les défis. (C'est possible que je rajoute des choses à l'avenir).
Lorsque nous rejetons des défis, ne croyez pas que nous faisons ça parce que nous vous détestons ou parce que nous sommes idiots. Nous sommes tous des humains et faisons des erreurs de temps en temps, mais si vous suivez mes recommandations, vous n'aurez pas à vous inquiéter. Parfois, il peut arriver que le jeu bug et modifie automatiquement un défi, ce qui peut être une autre raison.


Si un défi est effectivement rejeté, MERCI DE LIRE LE COMMENTAIRE avant de le soumettre de nouveau. Ceci est un autre problème courant que rencontrent les validateurs, et c'est assez ennuyeux de devoir rejeter le même défi en boucle simplement parce que son créateur n'a pas corrigé le problème remonté.

Une dernière chose, ne vous énervez pas si nous rejetons un défi : nous essayons simplement de faire notre travail.

Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez suivre ce topic si vous avez besoin de le relire.

Au revoir ^^

Out of all of the criteria for rejecting a challenge, "this is a stolen track" is not shown in the list. i already explained in the comments WHY I stole the track AND EVEN GAVE CREDIT IN THE DESCRIPTION

Sorry that was me, I should probably update the first post so that it's clearer. I started rejecting challenges on stolen tracks since it became an issue after the topic.

Even though your case doesn't seem like you stole it on purpose I'm still not sure if I should allow it just to keep things consistent. I'm also not entirely sure what you meant by being 'forced' to steal it. DM me if you'd like to ask anything else related to this tho.

It should be obvious why we don't accept challenges on stolen tracks, as you clearly stole the track, it wasn't your original creation. If you remake the track, then it's okay, as then it's your creation (although the best thing to do there is ask the original creator for permission for you to make the revamp).

Once you have an active (validated) challenge go to the challenge editor, click on advanced options, then challenge rewards. The menu explains this pretty well but I'll sum it up anyway:
You can select a character from your editor and whatever challenges you want the player to clear. That can be multiple and includes challenges from tracks inside a (multi)cup. This will only be including active challenges, so you can't really make an unlock in advance. The characters you can use are only ones you haven't published, which is basically the only way to see what characters you have published (char editor does not make it very easy). Unlocks don't need to be validated.

Thank you for contributing to this topic. Unfortunately, you did not complete the challenge of "following forum rules" so I cannot award you your 20 challenge points. 8)

I think the rules that the validators have to follow is more vague than the ones the players have to :s
