Not looking for a job right now (I know for a fact I won't get it) but for me and others what are the general criteria for becoming a verifier and how do you apply?

No that's not true. Communities giving a form to fill for people to be a verifier, or even rarer a mod, is only a thing in very rare circumstances where a very large amount of runs comes in in a very short amount of time (e.g. Subway surfers).

This community won't put out requests for mod publicly, specific people will instead be privately reached out to and asked if they want to be mod in the case that a new mod is needed. Those people that are reached out to are usually well trusted, and have a strong understanding in the game. Skill level is not a determinant for being a mod, although people who have a strong understanding of the game are usually highly skilled.

Alternatively, if you submit a game to speedrun.com and it gets put onto the site, you'll automatically be put as a super mod to start off with.

What about a verifier/is there a difference

In terms of how to become one in this community, it's minimal.

In terms of what they can do site-wide:

• Verifiers can verify and edit runs.

• Moderators can verify and edits runs, as well as edit the leaderboard

• Not 100% sure on Super Mods, but I believe that they're just mods that can also add and remove moderators, and add Super Mods.
