Hi everyone, I'm making this post because I wanna discuss the current moderation team for Termina speedruns. Multiple speedrun community members recently filed reports to the speedrun site admins with the goal of re-appointing moderators who are (1) actively engaged in Termina speedrunning and its community and (2) capable of effectively and respectfully communicating with active runners to develop guidelines for runs that the whole community agrees upon.

As it stands, there are multiple moderators who don't fit either of these criteria. I don't know who ceswayne is but he was recently bumped up to supermoderator despite his account being completely inactive for 10 months. There is also holypredazor whose account is only 10 days old and has no apparent history of speedrunning this game at all.

This matter concerning the moderation team and its underlying problems continues unresolved. In particular, adarkraccoon's limited communication to private platforms that he exclusively regulates rather than maintain open and respectful communication on this forum as is pretty typical across other speedrunning communities. Ruupa, unlike adarkraccoon, has taken great care on this forum to communicate thoughtfully with current speedrunners like g0dh34d and I to share the information we need to continue speedrunning and develop future run guidelines that we can all agree on. With these reasons in mind, I believe ruupa and g0dh34d should be the only two Termina moderators, both sharing supermoderator status, and they should be in charge of the speedrun rules/community and any future changes. I think this would make sense and be best for the health of our speedrunning community moving forward.

I think we have too many moderators now, and some of them are inactive for a long time. It would be wise to make a vote among active community members to decide new mod team composition.
