What happens if a moderator does a challenge on my quick track?

I made a challenge for one of my quick tracks that I sent to my friend, and I found @Nodac64 completed it. I might sound really stupid right now because I've been playing for almost a year total now, but do moderators try playing all challenges / tracks? or did I just get lucky on this one? idk.

In addition to being a moderator, Nodac is also one of the challenge validators, so he or another validator would have to play and verify the challenge in order to make it visible to other participants. Note that the challenge validator role is separate from moderator, and there are many challenge validators that are not moderators, Nodac just happens to be both

This is to help prevent abuse of the challenge system (for an example of challenge abuse, making a challenge and posting it, and then editing the circuit so no one else can beat it)

Moderators, Challenge Validator or normal players can all play and beat challenges. Nothing specific happens if a moderator or a challenge validator beats it, it just counts as 1 completion.

Challenge Validators can validate any challenge whenever they want without even having to test it. Though, I personally prefer to ALWAYS play and beat a challenge before validating it to make sure that I give it the most appropriate difficulty. There are 1 to 3 active validators these days so you may see validators like myself, @Hazel or @BowserJr03 as a challenge's first completor.

If you ever see a validated challenge without any completion, it's either because the challenge is EXTREMELY difficult in which case we validate it so everybody can try to beat it, or the challenge is just long and annoying like "Finish in 1st place 20 times in a row" (real story...).

I may not have been validating as much challenges as I should have been, this is mainly because I have been:

- Preparing for A Levels
- Working on a big project
