One of the most critical roles a speedrun moderator holds is ensuring the rules are consistently applied across all players. A good moderator needs to interpret and enforce the rules fairly, regardless of personal biases or preferences. If Cyrtoro is guilty of inconsistent rulings—e.g., rejecting runs for minor infractions from some players but allowing similar infractions from others—this undermines the fairness and integrity of the community.
Speedrunning communities thrive on objective standards, and if Cyrtoro selectively enforces rules or applies different interpretations depending on who submitted the run, it erodes the trust of the participants. Players may feel discouraged from submitting their runs if they believe they are being unfairly scrutinized or held to a higher standard than others. Worse, it creates the perception that Cyrtoro may be playing favorites, an especially damaging accusation in any competitive community.
Speedrun moderators are often the bridge between the runners and the broader community. Clear, open, and timely communication is essential for building trust and ensuring the smooth functioning of the submission process. Cyrtoro, however, may have developed a reputation for being unresponsive to messages or inquiries. If runners find themselves waiting for days or even weeks without hearing back from Cyrtoro regarding their submissions, this undermines confidence in the system.
Even worse, if Cyrtoro is prone to providing vague or dismissive responses, it can lead to confusion and frustration. Imagine a scenario where a runner’s submission is rejected with little explanation, or where the reasoning provided is difficult to understand. Without transparent and constructive feedback, runners can’t improve their submissions or correct potential errors in the future. As a result, the community suffers because no one knows what exactly is expected of them.
A great speedrun moderator should remain impartial, evaluating runs based solely on the merit of the performance and adherence to the rules. If Cyrtoro exhibits favoritism, prioritizing runs from friends, well-known runners, or players within a specific clique, the integrity of the leaderboard is compromised. This sort of bias leads to frustration among new or less-established runners who feel they don’t have a fair shot at having their achievements recognized.
Favoritism might manifest in many ways—faster reviews for favored individuals, leniency in run verification for personal friends, or even outright rejection of runs from people Cyrtoro dislikes, despite valid submissions. Speedrunning, like any competitive activity, relies on fairness and equality. Once the perception of bias takes hold, it’s difficult to repair trust, especially if evidence of Cyrtoro's partiality becomes widely known.
In any leadership or moderation role, criticism is inevitable. Some moderators, however, handle feedback poorly, reacting defensively or even retaliating against those who offer constructive criticism. If Cyrtoro is known for being thin-skinned or responding negatively to feedback, it stifles community discussion and discourages input that could improve the speedrunning scene.
For example, if someone points out inconsistencies in how rules were applied or requests clarification on a ruling, Cyrtoro might react aggressively—perhaps banning the user from forums or Discord channels, deleting comments, or dismissing concerns without meaningful dialogue. This kind of behavior creates a hostile environment where community members are afraid to voice their concerns, knowing they might face backlash from Cyrtoro. Over time, this leads to the erosion of the community’s morale, as many will feel they cannot contribute without facing negative consequences.
Hello Prominent Speedish Goated Fast Runners.
A discussion inside council has resulted in us believing the display of FPS is more necessary than ever. Keep in mind 60 fps is the limit on runs that aren't Limitless. You can only use in-built methods of displaying the FPS such as the Shift+F5 men
