This page explains how Global Shitty List evaluates and maintains ranked levels. The goal is to keep decisions reproducible, transparent, and consistent across updates.
We use player submissions, verifier information, public gameplay videos, and moderator review notes. A submission may be rejected when evidence is missing, low quality, edited in a way that prevents verification, or inconsistent with list rules.
Rank decisions are based on comparative difficulty among currently listed levels, observed completion behavior, and verified community feedback. We do not guarantee permanent positions because list context changes as new levels are added and reevaluated.
Proposals and records are reviewed by staff. When information is unclear, we request additional proof before approval. Disputed entries may be placed on hold until enough evidence is available.
List updates can include additions, removals, reorder events, metadata fixes, and rule enforcement actions. Significant updates should appear in changelog records. Minor formatting updates may be applied without separate announcements.
To request a correction, provide level name, affected field, and supporting links. We process good-faith requests from players, creators, and verifiers. Repeated spam or fabricated evidence may lead to request rejection.
This ranking is an editorial product, not an official game authority. Judgments can involve uncertainty and changing evidence. We aim for fairness and documentation, but perfect consensus is not always possible.
