@fak@cupoftea.social I’m on a parkrun core team and we occasionally get those mega-tourists wearing “bring back the stats” t-shirts. I find it infuriating that there’s a thing they love and that this is all they bring to the party. Meanwhile, the event - which at a local level has fuck all to do with the decisions of head office - is put on by a team of volunteers for them to enjoy. They also often hunt for easy volunteer credits. No, I don’t need a single 27 minute pacer, but I’ve spent all week chasing a timekeeper and three marshals. Thanks for your contribution.

@swisslet@mas.to oh yes, I've seen those. The stats also haven't gone anywhere, they are all on the app, it's pure ego that they want them front and centre on the website.
