Heyyy,

If you need another Moderator I'd like to be a part of this!

(Not quite sure how that works out, I'm really new to this site)

Maybe once the community grows, we can both be added as mods. Just not now though there are only 3 of us haha

Thanks for your interest, guys! I'm so glad you are speedrunning this game!

While the community grows, I would suggest getting mod practice by requesting a new game (Games (dropdown), All Games, Request a game). There are a bunch of new webgames and indie games out there that need leaderboards -- if you do a run of it and request the game, you should hear back in about 2 weeks if kirkq (admin) accepts it. You are automatically the mod of the game and can get practice setting up the leaderboard, making rules, and verifying runs. Jaychalke, I see you've done this already. Make sure you upload a run to Golf It or they'll take your LB (leaderboard) down :D

Second important thing to consider -- you need to be accurate with timing and know which runs to reject/edit. Jay, on most of your vids you do a good job with accuracy on timing. But endtime should always be taken at the exact moment when you see the final rice count appear. In one of your videos, the clip cut out before hitting 100, so I rejected it. In another, you added 1.5 seconds to your run because the video froze on your final 10 grains -- I will have to edit it and increase the time to where I first see you hit 100 grains (not an arbitrary time somewhere in the freeze).

If you guys keep it up and submit more valid runs, this will show me your dedication and ability to moderate. I'd love to have you helping me out!

I'm gonna do a bunch of runs soon, so verify them one by one to maximize exposure to the site ;)

Tomorrow I'm gonna show this to my friends. Maybe they aren't into speed running but they sure are into free rice :>

Who knows, it could help to grow the community if people see that there are more people.

Hey guys,

I have reason to believe that a user submitted automated runs. I verified them before thinking about it. Please check out the new records and let me know what you think.

I'm going to change the rules to ensure that a cursor is visible on the screen. This means that nobody can submit a run recorded on mobile (despite how fast it could be). Does this make sense to do?

Can't see why not. I feel like there should be no reason to prioritize mobile over PC so I think this rule is fine

I'm guessing you cant delete those runs because of the rules? Just checked them and they seem quite fishy. The most fishy is his geography run because he answers the questions before it shows up.

Congrats new mods, Jay and Airman!
