My two cents:

Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the category/difficulty scheme to find hacks similar to hacks I know that I already enjoy and are at a difficulty level I can handle. Right now the category selector is pretty much useless for that in Kaizo and Puzzle hack realms. Obviously "Kaizo Light" being "any kaizo hack anyone's ever beaten RTA" means there's no filtering internal to that category, so that's right out, and there is no puzzle category at all. So there's two points I'd like to make:

1. The "light" and "hard" category split for Kaizo hacks makes sense, but the names could probably use work, since there seems to be perpetual confusion among stream viewers about this point. (Renaming the categories to "Kaizo RTA" and "Kaizo TAS" would work.) I'd split the "light" category into 3-4 sub-categories/difficulties, with "easy" being the beginner kaizo hacks like QW2 and friends, "hard" being things like GPW2 and Storks, (and possibly a "medium" in between if there can be agreement on where to draw this line), and "extreme" for hacks which were made back in the "kaizo is meant for savestates" days but have technically been RTA'ed by a handful of people.


2. Puzzle hacks should have their own category. Notable well-known puzzle hacks such as Keytastrophe Rebirth Remix and the MLP series of hacks can be moved over by staff all at once upon creation of the category, lesser known ones can be moved by their own creators or upon request as people point out older mis-classified hacks over time. The "puzzle" category should be for hacks which are almost entirely puzzle-oriented; I think we pretty much all have a decent handle on what this means. A puzzle kaizo trap or a single puzzle level in an otherwise traditional/kaizo level wouldn't get a hack moved over. I'd also support an "RTA/TAS" split or similar difficulty scheme here, for similar rationale as Kaizo: just because I enjoyed Keytastrophe Rebirth Remix doesn't mean I have any desire to put up with the nonsense that is MLP2.
