Who do I talk to about bad recordings?

I have recently found some recordings that do not show the scores they post or use techniques that I thought were not allowed. Could anyone please tell me who to contact about these? A few examples follow.

In many shooter games (Raiden for ex.) I noticed some players use auto fire. Is this not banned?

In golf games, players are using more than one credit to finish 18 holes. Is this allowed in the new scoring system? I myself have been using this and would hate to be uploading bad recordings.

Thanks for your help.

Yes. In some games players uses autofire. Later I write who and where.

Autofire is NOT allowed in any recording that is going to be uploaded on marp. The only exception is when the autofire is already there in the game so to speak.

What I mean is NO controllers that uses autofire nor any changing of possible dipswitches to gain autofire (like strikers 1945+ as an example)

Cheers

these are very fast firing inps for sure, Hisa can fire extremeley fast and the other player from japan also fires fast. However, The button presses for these inps do NOT have detectable patterns that are evident in most autofiring inps.

So: either they are very good and constant fast human pressing OR they are using an autofiring mechanism that is well developed to mimic human pressing OR they are using slowdowns. For one Hisa has made a recording using a secure mame (mame3235tg3) to prove he does not use slowdown. I'm sure we could ask him again with out offending him to use Barry's more secure Alphamame on a future recording to prove in a more secure mame that his fingers really are that fast.
