i want to moderate speedruns but how do i become a mod?

Oh boy another one

please dont make this another dont break the chain thread please

Genuine question

Why do you want to become a moderator?

Shwizam shazam, hex-hex, and a fine day to you

Congrats, you're now the moderator of the elusive game "Nothing"

It's so elusive, you can't even see that you're a moderator of it, but trust me, you are

Have fun

you don't want to be mod, trust me

You can become a mod by requesting a game or somebody gives you mod.

Trust me, you dont want to be a moderator.

Trust me, we're going to keep doing this routine.

When and why did this whole "you don't want to be mod trust me" meme started, anyway?

I think it was this thread. I blame @Komrade, he was the first follower.

Also, O.D.W., I don't think @Eden_ will make the OP a moderator of Nothing.

Oh, I suppose that might be the case. I guess my forum magic was for naught. WoweeW

The real question is—how can I get other people to add the games I run, so the games get leaderboards without me having to be a moderator? I've never seen an answer to that one.

(Or at least, an answer I'm willing to follow.)

You make them a super mod

You misunderstood what I was getting at. I've edited it for clarity.

I also have some games where I'm waiting for someone else to add and moderate them...

Why don’t you add them and then add other mods to the game.

We don't want to be moderators, trust us.

@hahhah42 Not really sure what you're expecting as an answer here. Someone has to setup the leaderboard, verify runs, etc. If you're not willing to, and no one else runs the game (or just none of the other runners want to moderate either), then ???

Like you either just gotta take the plunge and do it yourself, or accept that there's no leaderboard. There's no third option where it magically takes care of itself without anybody doing anything
