Meme category such as this goes against the cheat code rule this site has, and it actually makes it more appropriate as an April Fools submission where all the jokes come out.
On one hand I understand the rule of no cheats, but on my much bigger hand, you're being extremely elitist, talking down to the community who loves and runs this category, and going out of your way to call a category a "meme category" is quite disrespectful.
Believe it or not, Vortex actually has the most active runners out of any of the Spyro 1 categories ATM. Due to the nature of any% in Spyro 1 being unbreakable in its collectable requirements, many trick category runners have flocked to Vortex due to its resemblance of other heavy trick categories, which often end up being any% (Spyro 2 any%, Spyro 3 any%, etc.)
I'm not sure if you even gave the TAS a view, but if not, give it a shot. You might be surprised, there are DOZENS of exclusive tricks in this category that make it stand out from every other Spyro 1 category, The past 2 years have been extremely eventful for this category, with new tricks, routes, small movement optimizations, etc. This TAS is meant to be an accumulation of the past 2 years of the communities work. This was no "meme" or "joke" to us.
Again, I understand the no cheat code rule, and we're perfectly ok with the TAS not being accepted due to that. However, your response was extremely disheartening to Wafflie & I, considering the amount of work, hours, and passion poured into it.
If you're going to state why a TAS can't be accepted, consider not being so mean about it.
