Hi everyone,
After discussing with several members of the community, we have decided to completely ban use of the screenshot glitch for every level in every game. All world records and times that used it will be dropped from the leaderboards and current standings.
To further help the ban, Marble Blast Platinum 1.7.11 and above will use PlatinumQuest's current screenshot method, which is to pause the game and take a screenshot before resuming the game. This means that screenshots can still be taken, but they won't actually glitch the game.
In MBG World Record Rampage #5, all levels that previously used the screenshot glitch will be run without it.
We will create a special "Screenshot Glitch" category which will still allow you to showcase the glitch if you wish, but it will not be kept on the leaderboards. For those wondering about the glitch's latest effects, it can be used to collect items such as gems, time travels and other powerups from far away, as seen in this video made by Kalle29.
Thanks,
Matan

These new Terms of Service have been simplified dramatically to make them much easier to read and understand. We have clarified them and hope that you will take the time to read them. They are available to read at this link, and you will be prompted to agree to them when you next log into the Leaderboards.
On a lighter note, we are changing the policy for earning a colored name. From now on, colored names will be awarded to any player who beats all 281 Gold/Platinum times on the Leaderboards. Note that when PlatinumQuest releases, we will add its levels' Platinum Times to the requirement list too, so you should grab it while it's still easy! Those who previously had colored names will be able to keep theirs.
If you already meet the requirements for a colored name, go open your achievements in-game on the Leaderboards to trigger the award system. It will assign you a random color at first, but you can change it by editing your profile.

Hey everyone. Recently a lot of new users have joined MB level building so it seems like a perfect time to host another event, this time a bit unusual one. This event is all about making a level in 48 hours or less. Doesn't matter if it's done in level editor, Quark Constructor, Notepad,if you have just started getting into making levels or you have been doing it for years. If you can make a level, we want to see it. During this event everyone will also have chance to participate in multiplayer testing matches (they will work for singleplayer levels too) where level makers will will be able to receive feedback directly from players and improve their creations . In addition some people will be streaming so it should turn out fun experience for everyone participating. Since this is a jam there will be no winners, however anyone who participates will receive a new sparkly flair on their profile to enjoy.

Five years and eight months ago the Platinum Team has showcased the first trailer for PlatinumQuest. Plenty of hype occurred since and future spotlights were released, but that was the last we have seen for almost three and a half years.
Today the Platinum Team is proud to present to all Marble Blasters around the world the next trailer for PlatinumQuest. It showcases plenty of new levels, and how far we have come since we last presented to the public. With over 120 levels and still going, PlatinumQuest is the biggest mod since Platinum, and with much more work to do, we have little doubt that this number will keep rising.
PlatinumQuest will arrive inside Marble Blast Platinum, as 2.00, and will revolutionise the way the game is played. With many new game modes and features, it is set to be the most exciting Marble Blast mod ever released.
We want to thank the many staff members, past and present, for their tireless work on the mod, as well as the community for supporting us throughout the years.
More about PlatinumQuest will be unveiled in the upcoming months, so stay tuned!
Credits to Uil for making this trailer!
