So, when I recently published my first TAS, I reloaded the page where I could have re-entered edit mode if I had chose. I saw that the number of views increased by 1. I know this is a very minor bug, but isn't this the very defenition of "viewbotting"?

Consider the number to count the amount of page loads.

You uploaded a userfile, not a submission. You'll want to go here to actually submit runs to the site.

No, I definitely submitted a run. It was just a Work In Progress Run. Not a userfile

WIPs should be submitted to userfiles. Then make a post in the appropriate game's thread about it, or discuss it with others via live chat.

That is in fact the place for WIPs, we just typically regard "Submission" to mean submission for site publication and for complete runs.

[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero

Ok, so I was posting it in the right place. Also, I think this is the first tas of the game. Anyways, this whole topic was started because I thought the amount of views had any importance, and that you could just reload to add another view.
