account creation error?

[fervent badge]

I tried to create an account with my name, but it keeps saying that this user already exists. I couldn't find anyone with my name on the website or discord so idk if this is a bug or no. If this is a bug, how can I create an account with my name?

You don't need to. When submitting your first record a user will automatically be created after we accepted it

ehhh you actually need to 😭
now the bot doesn't let you submit records for a user that does not exist
that's mostly to prevent people from submitting records with a typo in their name which ends up creating multiple users on the site that we then need to merge

Uhhhhhm

When did this happen lamo

if it says that this user already exists then there's an account with that name for sure, but it might not be shown on the website if it doesn't have any record/verification
so either someone else created an account with that name but didn't submit anything on it, or you created a level/part of a level that's on the list, so we had to create an account with your name to add you to the creators list
but anyway you can just submit records under that account that already exists ig
