Even if you would force users to click through a popup that asks the user to confirm that they read the rules, then some people would still not read them. From my experience a portion of that could get resolved by talking to runners after rejecting a run to ensure they read and understand the rules.
One issue with the DBD rules I see is that when you click the rules button it only shows a github link. Not sure why, but writing out the category rules on the site itself per category instead of linking them to a Github page might help. Yes, logically people should click that link but in reality that might not always be the case.
@Leo_Salvatore_7 Approach the runners and ask them, not me. I would advise you to be very careful with deleting categories for arbitrary reasons, especially if the game is inactive. There should be a very good reason why a category has to be deleted.
@Leo_Salvatore_7 The point was that the time you filled in was incorrect. But you fixed it now so I added you. Just please pay more attention to this in the future. If you expect us to help you, we expect you to abide by all the requirements we have set here properly. That includes having a proper run submission.
@Leo_Salvatore_7 I have severe doubts about the time that was filled in on your run (1s10ms) seeing as the WR is 8s. Could you clarify how exactly this is 1s10ms?
I agree. You can start by changing it on the games you mod yourself:
https://www.speedrun.com/hcr - Misc category called "Death%" https://www.speedrun.com/ninjaroy3 - Hacked% https://www.speedrun.com/nr_ninja_steve - Softlock% and Custom% and a Misc category called Slowrun%
@fGeorjje https://www.speedrun.com/winter_nfsathon2020 Two notes:
- SecondLtBadger does not have e-mail authentication enabled in their settings so I was unable to add them.
- If the date needs to be set to 4-6, let me know if you are unable to and we'll adjust it.

@goldenONX You require a pending run.
@Sour First of all, you deleting your account and then later deciding to recreate it is not going to influence the 30 day threshold we use in this thread at all. So for now, we will treat your account as being 3 weeks old. Secondly, one of the mods (Corsaka) was online a week ago. Be a little patient. Await the 3 week threshold for run verification and if your run has not been verified by then, send a message to the mod requesting a status.
@Jerien I actually looked over that your account is only 3 weeks old. Apologies. Do know that this thread is very active and sometimes we look over things. For now: I know this moderator is heavily inactive, but get back to us next week if it's still pending by then and we'll add you.
@Ruby One of the requirements is a pending run, as mentioned in the first post.
@Eliaasi Added.
@Bob-chicken You need a pending run. I don't think this is the first time I am mentioning this to you either. If you cannot abide by the requirements in this thread, your request will be disregarded.
@zir0nic Is this also a request to remove them or could you explain what bumping you into a super mod would accomplish for the particular situation you outlined? There is of course no hierarchy between moderator status. Site staff is also willing to look into the problem at hand here though.
@SBCz 3 weeks is the threshold used for run verification but we consider moderators fully inactive after 3 months, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Have you messaged the mod at all to request them to unmod themselves?
@Symm I know your run has exceeded the 3 week threshold but the mod that was last online 3 weeks has been very active on Twitter. I have gone ahead and messaged there to attend them on your pending run: https://twitter.com/ItsDaravae/status/1317220261708648448 I'll get back to you if I don't receive an answer after a reasonable amount of time.
@TRLittleToaster You require a pending run.
@Leo_Salvatore_7 Inactive mod or not, you require a pending run.
@MiphaSR As they were online two days ago, I went ahead and messaged them myself to request what currently their involvement is in moderating this leaderboard.
@MrDino023 Added.
@H3n2 Your account age is only one day and does not yet meet the 30-day threshold requirement. Please read the first post of this thread on how we handle things in there and get back to us after you met all the requirements before posting here.
@Max_Overpower Interesting. I will take this up with other staff and get back to you on how we are going to handle this. Edit: We removed the series and mods and reinsrated your request and handled this.
@NickBGoHard Added.
@gheb Apologies in advance that you have not yet received an answer to your inquiry towards support yet. The site has recently seen a switch in ownership and it's possible the new owners are currently still handling a backlog of e-mails. Either way, I added you as a mod since you had a pending run for 2 months and the existing mod was heavily inactive so you can disregard the e-mail to Support as well.
@muumi10 This series does not require moderation. Please read the first post on how series moderation is currently being handled.
@Bling74 I requested one of the existing runners: SuicideMachine, if they would be willing to take over moderation for this game due to them being an existing runner and their familiarity within the community and series. I'll get back to you with the outcome. Edit: I added Suicide to take over moderation.
Hey apologies for the delay, I'll look at these when I get home.
@NeGAtiv4k One of the moderators 'Ninjakauz' was last online 7 hours ago, be patient please.
@Aeihu Thanks, added.
@Johny5521 Upped to Super.
@Difixed Thanks, added.
Thanks for everything you have done for the site Pac. You were the backbone of the site for a very long time, handling support@speedrun.com basically all by yourself and just being at the heart of it all for years. Not just during the implementation of various features, but also during the various issues the site has seen in the past, community feedback and lots of other things that users probably didn't see. Myself learned quite a few things from you while being a staff member and talking with you, things I won't forget and experience to take with me into the future so thank you for that. Good luck with everything in the future and again big thanks for all the time and work you have put into this site!
@MassDistraction Added.
@MisutoM Added.
@frozenflygone The mod logged on and added you.
@DerKO Added you, but the moderator could have e-mailed support to regain access to their account.
@Uncle_Hambone Added.
@stuffcrust_ The claim of the moderator being 'rarely active' is not sufficient for us to add you without their consent. The mod was last online 4 days ago. Direct your inquiry to them.
@Daz86 Okay with adding you, but can you please add one more social media link to your profile with DM/messaging capabilities? As YouTube does not offer a good way of communication. Get back to us when done.
@Fatal_King You don't have any pending runs.
@MiphaSR Have you approached the mod about this yourself at all? As they were online recently.
@ArcaniaCQ Moderation is to be requested for yourself in here, not for others.
@woodenspoon Added.
@Lor Added.
@Snodeca Removed them, but creating a new account when you lost access to your existing account counts as having an alt so against site rules. Please make Joe aware of this that this is not the right way of handling things and I also suspended access to their old account.
@SBCz Removed the game, but this is not the right thread for requests like these. Please contact a site mod directly in the future about this.
@baldnate Added.
@jkr Removed the series mod, as they were heavily inactive. But the series doesn't require moderation. So we won't be adding another mod right now.
@Aeihu Okay with adding you, but you need to enable "e-mail authentication" before we can add you entirely.
@Jerien Okay with adding you, but you need to activate "Require e-mail authentication" in your settings before I can even add you at all. You also need to attach at least 2 of your own social media accounts to your SRC profile. Get back to me when done.
@Bob-chicken Added.
@Difixed Okay with adding you, but you need to enable "e-mail authentication" before we can add you entirely.
@andresfgp13 Added.
Apologies for the delay. Okay here we go:
@NateCC14 Removed.
@FoE You don't mod this game, your account is only 5 days old and you have zero runs pending or existing runs on this game. Read the first post of this thread to learn how we handle things in here.
@PeteThePlayer I will take a look at this and get back to you.
@Fatal_King We added @Klooger as they also requested mod here and has mod experience with the individual games.
@KeleXBR One of the mods 'TrueStorySeamus' appears active but has not looked at your run apparently. They are also active on Twitter so I tweeted at them: https://twitter.com/ItsDaravae/status/1313598662640103424
@thohan99 That still applies for games without mods. Kindly perform and submit a run to become eligible for moderation if there are no mods and your account meets the requirements mentioned in the first post.
@Chainsawkitten Added.
@DiamondNuggetz Would you be able to DM me some proof that this moderator will not attempt to log back in due to inactivity? We can handle it further from there.
@andresfgp13 Added. Also please take a look at the existing categories if possible.
@kav Since you don't have e-mail authentication set up (which is a requirement for posting here) I have gone ahead and send one of the mods on that board 'ijust' a message through SRC since they were online 1 day ago but apparently not looking at runs. Did you also message them before posting here?
@AlDeezy Thanks, added.
@bozza You don't have any pending runs for this game. Also your account age needs to exceed the 30 day threshold before you become eligible for requesting moderation in here.
@L.D Noticed you also had a run pending that is already over 3 weeks old, interesting. Added you. Could you also look at these category names?
@cj_iwakura Thanks, added.
@Uncle_Hambone I'm okay with adding you under the condition that you fix your linked socials. Your Twitter link is not working. Please sort that out or add another one that has DM/messaging capabilities. Get back to me when done.
@emagen303 Would you be able to provide a pending run for this game?
@Sora-Aruzaky Would you be able to provide a pending run for this game?
@Punch Thanks, added.
@Guildenstern Thanks, added.
@Fatal_King This series doesn't require moderation.
@Dollem3 Your run has only been pending for one day. Direct your inquiry to the other mod that appears active.
@RealAlphaGamer We'll take a look at this.
I'll go over the mod requests when I get back from holiday tomorrow.
