Hello, it's been a while. I must admit that the backlog situation in regards to speedrun verifications was beyond terrible. Some runs haven't been verified in months while I was absent. In some way, it's not my fault, but I still should have tried to oversee some of it as a defacto moderator, despite my busy life situation. Massive thanks to Ducknorriss, remember_me_remember, Jeranu49 and skv0r1x for going through that all of that backlog. (There seem to be a ton of runs that were verified in one or two days by the same user, we might want to go through them at a later date to double check, we'll see).

To address the ongoing issues, we're going to do two things:

• remove moderators / verifiers that haven't verified or rejected anything in the last 2 months (after that threshold, the earliest runs were verified or rejected 6 months ago, which is a large range).
• reopen verifier applications.

The verifier application form is the same as the last time. Complete the short quiz that will test your knowledge about things related to the game's speedruns: https://forms.gle/PUmcDaJMcWvdt74W6. If you get at least 60% of the questions correct, you will be put on trial period as verifier. The form will be open until March 23rd, and unlike last time me and Ducknorriss will be checking the applications live (with respect to our own availability, of course). If you pass you will be assigned as a verifier immediately instead of waiting until the form closes to start on your duties. Best of luck to new applicants!

To close things out, I will be stepping down as the moderator for the game once verifier applications close. Reasons are lack of motivation, interest and time. There probably are some other moderators who feel similar. If you do, tell me or Duck. In the meantime, if any of you people have suggestions regarding the leaderboards such as adding or removing categories, or ideas for restructuring (I think you can play some new levels with different characters now and it's permanent?), tell us in the ⁠Discord or the forums (Discord would be more convenient), and we'll try our best to implement them. Thanks for your interest in this game's speedruns and once again, I'm sorry. Let's create a better and more stable future for this game together.
