These would be outputs allowing for the use of the player's own scoreboard information. This would let us do things like show the player their own previous personal-best time, encouraging them to beat it, etc.
In my view, there shouldn't be any privacy concerns around this kind of thing, as it's the player's own information. That is actually also publicly available anyway. So... should be fine on that front at least.
"Posted Score" -- the value the player already has on the scoreboard. The creator could then show this to the same player, to encourage them to beat their personal best. Or choose when to show a "congratulations on beating your score!" type message.
"Replaced Score" -- if no score post has been made this session, gives the "posted score" value. If a post has been made this session, the value that the score-post just replaced.
This could be done by storing the "posted score" value, and re-getting that value just before a post is made. But that would require more logic setup, and understanding of how to even go about that--making it less accessible to newer creators. So this is effectively a quality-of-life shortcut to help people do a common thing with these outputs.
Similar outputs could be added regarding their position on the scoreboard in question (eg. 1st, 33rd, etc.).
