Calling this submission a "waste of time" is very unhelpful and at worst, may actively discourage the TASer from actually learning from their mistakes. In fact, darkman425 and KusogeMan already provided some pointers on where they could improve.

"Waste (loss) of time within the run" : >
Some advice was left on YT video actually, where author actually responds.

That's not what you said though, and is just as unhelpful as before. If you felt there were areas that could be improved, then state that constructively rather than disregarding the submission as a "waste of time". Even if that's not what you meant, your words can still have consequences, and as such care should be taken when providing feedback.

This is no excuse for being rude here on the forums.
This is what was said, and falls under interpretation, as it has a different meaning.
Being straight to the point when it comes to the run is exactly what it is, a criticism, even if not always the most constructive.
Also from perspective, a few years ago it was not ok to be even somewhat slightly harsh to a person here, now - not even the product of this person. What's next?
Feels like a poison of (political) correctness spreading further and further...

Why would you want to be harsh toward a person, especially over something like a TAS?
Being harshly critical of the TAS itself (because you don’t like it or because you feel it wasted your time to watch the run) can be tolerated.
But being harshly critical of the individual who created the TAS for those same reasons should not be tolerated (and I will fight for it to not be tolerated).
Your original comment of “Waste of time.” does not indicate that you felt that watching the run was a waste of your time and can thus be interpreted that you are claiming the author wasted their time in making the TAS and/or that the TAS’s existence itself has no value. Neither of these are true. The TAS itself can hold value to someone even if you personally don’t particularly find value in it. The time the author spent in TAS creation also holds value (in the author gaining TAS experience and simply having fun with the creative project) even if nobody else were to appreciate the work.

There are many more considerate and respectful ways to convey that a TAS needs improvement. Your repeated disregard for other people and their work on this site, will not be tolerated here. You are now banned indefinitely.
