If you run a game with inactive moderators, who doesn't check your runs after 21 days (then they are considered inactive), you can request moderation for yourself for the game in this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/dueac

Questions about the rules should be directed to the moderator(s) of the game, since they should know about them (the rules should be understood clearly anyway). The general community who don't run this game won't know anything abut it. In the case of a run that does not match the timing rules, should also be directed to the moderators so they can check the run and retime it if necessary.

Although, if the mods are inactive then they obviously won't do any of that, so don't really know about this.

One of those mods (Sidarino) was online just yesterday. Have you tried communicating with them at all? Mods have up to 21 days to verify a run, so if your run has been pending for only 10 days, you should wait a little longer for the mod to check it. But you should make a forum post on the game or reach out to the mod if you have questions about the rules. You need to make an effort to communicate with existing mods if you have questions or concerns about something on an LB.

Also, the “you must have a run submitted rule” is in place when requesting moderation so the site staff have proof that you actually run the game and you’re not seeking mod duties on random boards on the site.
