But now, site moderators keep telling me to email to support email to appeal the mod ban. Does it mean the site moderators do not want me to get mod unbanned at all?

Why would you want to be a mod?

@Reverse They said on page two that there are a number of leaderboards where nobody else is willing to be mod.

Good luck then.

[quote=Liv] The site mods are now employees at ELO, however you can't expect them to be available at all times (or as you put it "immediately") for a userbase of currently 900K users. [/quote] While I can't deny that 900k users is a sizeable amount the number of users shouldn't be an excuse for them not having a large enough team to handle the site and the community's feedback. There are only 5 accounts on the entire site with the site staff badge (1 of which being an alt), and even if I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that there's more people than just these 4 people working behind the scenes I doubt there are a lot more people working at src behind the scenes. I work with people that run smaller websites than speedrun.com but have a way larger team, usually consisting of at least 15 people, and I also work with people that run websites with millions of active users on a monthly basis which also have a sizeable team. Yes, you can't expect them to be available at all times, which is exactly why they need more mods or volunteers. That way it becomes increasingly more likely for someone to be available for you and all other users that might need help.

Hm, it almost seems like it was a bad idea to remove volunteer positions from the site

who could've guessed

So actually for elo,

maybe they think the site only has to be able to help elo to get money. They may not think listening to the community's opinion is needed.

Do you remember? Elo is mainly an advertising company. Cry for it

While elo don't listen to the community's opinion, the site still can function and earn money for elo by advertising.

Them only wanting to make money would kind of imply they'd be fine with volunteer positions, though. Less people to pay.

There may be some law problems about volunteer position in a company as other people said.

Btw it amazes me that so many people read the complaint because I don't expect this thread has so many views. And I thought people would think that was just a joke or something.

It died two days ago.

Make sure to check out https://www.speedrun.com/among_us if you have questions about the game. I hope you find what you need. Have fun with your runs!

Now this comment above looks very silly without context

im waiting for my run to get verified for the outlast trials and its only 7:04 why has it been 3 days still not verified im new to speedrunning but this is just frustrating makes me not want to run

@Thegam3r site staff are different from game moderators. Game moderators are unpaid volunteers who verify your runs.

It's been 3 days - this isn't long to wait at all. For example, what if someone is on holiday, or if they have an exam they need to study for.

Site rules say that the goal is for runs to be verified within 21 days. And if they haven't been, then you can message the moderators and ask.

However, runs could actually take a longer or shorter amount of time depending on how many runs are in the queue or how active the moderators are.

@YUMmy_Bacon5 Thank you I didn't know you had to wait 21 days like i said im new thank you for letting me know now i understand

@Thegam3r you're welcome. But to be clear, you don't have to wait 21 days, it's just when moderators are considered inactive after. And tbh, runs should be verified faster than that, as they shouldn't wait until it gets to that point.
