I have a few runs submitted on the Category Extensions (Minecraft Java) and they have been on queue for over a week now. That is actually not the problem, the problem is that every single day since I submitted my runs I get to see multiple runs being played, submitted and verified on the same day.

I asked a mod why they are allowing other runners skip the verification queue and they replied with "it depends on the category ran", it made sense to me on that moment but after a couple of days I'm still watching multiple runs getting verified the very same day they were submitted.

That left me to believe that they are intentionally verifying only the runs they want while they let new players excluded on the queue. That is unfair.

sr.c should completely lock newer runs until the old runs get the attention; I am not a programmer but maybe just a check like: "if oldest submittion > 2 weeks, lock runs, sort runs oldest to newest"

It's not fair that some runners get to skip queue while others (I'd say new runners) have to wait.

Maybe the mod that is online is only experienced in verifying certain categories, so yours has to wait. Maybe the runs that get verified faster are a lot shorter than yours.

A site-wide lock on verifying newer runs is ridiculous. You’ve submitted to one of the most popular boards on this site, and it’s only been a week. Just wait.

It can also be that some of the runs that get verified on the same day are verified by someone that watched them live, for instance. But yeah, generally and as mentioned before, shorter runs are easier and quicker to verify, this not to mention that mod availability is very relative too - it could very well be that your particular category isn't to the current active mods' knowledge. (Current active = the ones doing verification at the time of this post).
