The problem here is the word "moon" which some people think it means more then "the movie was considered entertaining enough to be published"

Yeah, and also that vault TASes are hidden by default. From IRC: <Zeupar> Vault and Stars should simply be [icons like it was done before tiers] This would mean that we still have tiers, but they are done as modifiers so that we have a default. This would be more simple than 2 tiers with 2 icons since vault TASes cannot be moon or star anyways.

As I see it, there can be two camps of thought: 1) We want primarily TASes that are entertaining, but we also want a collection of speed records of every game in existence (where completion speed has some kind of rational meaning.) Therefore games where speed has no rational meaning, and for which an entertaining-enough TAS cannot be made because of the kind of game it is, do not get TASes. 2) Every game (at least every game that has an ending) deserves a TAS, no matter which game it is. If we wanted the latter (count me in that camp, btw) then we need a fourth tier. The tiers would then be: - Star: A small list of selected TASes that showcase TASing in a very exemplary and outstanding manner. - Moon: TASes that are entertaining enough that they would have been published even under the old system (or a bit stricter than that.) - Vault: TASes where the main goal is completion speed, but which did not get to the Moon tier. - Yet-to-be-named: TASes of games where speed has no logical or sensible meaning, and which did not get to the Moon tier. In general, only one TAS per game is allowed here (unless there are some very exceptional circumstances.)
