Are you requesting a game that’s not on the site, or are you requesting moderation for a game that’s already on the site.
@Garsh, if you don’t want to be a mod for 70 games, then step down as a mod.
Yea I know that. I’m saying if he dosnt want to moderate all those games, then step down from a few
Being a mod is a lot more work than you think, and verifying runs is only a very small portion of the list of duties. If you want to just worry about verifying runs, ask to be a verifier, as it's a much easier position to manage and is usually an easier position to get (as long as you are semi-active in your community and know how to time runs properly)
I know that its hard. I'm saying just step down from a few games
Pretty sure you are responding to the wrong person 😶
But to back up @Garsh, it's quite hard to come by good mods now days for games with small communities, such as some of the ones Garsh mods. Not saying they don't exist, because there are great mods for small games that put a lot of effort into categories, rules, promo, etc. While 70 games may seem excessive and potentially overwhelming, I can understand why he would not want to step down from some of the games.
As someone who moderates over 80 games and has basically the same story as Garsh, stepping down from games is harder than it sounds. Obviously I could just leave most of the games but for me at least that comes with some guilt. Even if the game is completely dead, I still feel responsible for maintaining the leaderboard. But anyway back to the original question, you don't want to be a mod, trust me.
Proclaimer: going a bit off topic from the original question (as a few people before me)
As someone who moderates 4 games and has basically a totally different story than @Garsh & @TRLittleToaster ... sorry I had to do this ... somehow I find this funny :D Anyway... It seems to me that you guys are trying way too hard. I just hope you guys are not burning out by doing a lot of work. Sure, it is nice for the community to have their runs verified quickly by some experienced mod who verifies hundreds of runs regularly. But if you feel it is too much for you, I'd recommend you to do something about it. In the end you have to ask yourself the question if it is worth it for yourselves.
Speaking from a personal example: When I said to my coworkers that I'm gonna change to a different department I felt guilty for leaving them too. Leaving them a shitton of work & not so nice prospects for a time to come. But on the other hand I felt I needed to leave this community for my own good (& hopefully for the good of my new colleagues too).
