FranceThank you Sunnyy for suggesting a solution.
Looking back at what has been said in the last 24 hours, I must admit that things have been rushed too much, and this is probably my mistake.
Now, considering this thread, if DV and Ryedawg have to both be mods, there shouldn't be a hierarchy between these two. If DV gets supermod, the first thing he'll do is remove Ryedawg from the mods.
If I get rid of the "political landscape" of the community (because clearly this has turned more into politics than speedrunning), I still believe Ryedawg has his place.
I must say that this thread has at least the benefit of proving my previous point : people keep standing on their position and we already reached the dead end I was talking about earlier. I said I'm all ears to find a better solution, but the only thing I've seen is people trashtalking on each other (Basically, the only thing I've seen is "I would be happy with any solution where at least Ryedawg was not a mod", which is, well, not really a compromise).
I am checking the leaderboard's logs frequently, and so far I haven't seen anything bad happen. I do have a similar mindset as S' thoughts.
Therefore, no, I am not trying to "destroy the continued progress in this game specifically to maintain Ryedawg's power". I will try to contact both old mods and news mods during the weekend to organize something on Discord or wherever else.
Okay. I wanted to make a long reply to darkviper's first arguments later, but considering how it's turning out I will make a shorter answer right now. I hope it will at least calm down the situation a bit, though I don't have a lot of time on my hands from work.
What you are telling me of Ryedawg, I wasn't aware of. As I told zoton on Twitter, I don't know the man enough to know about his tendency to "troll" and "being insulting to autistic people" as you are saying. When I take such requests, I do my best to dig in a bit, trying not to be biased by asking multiple people. Now maybe I should have made more research, I must admit.
To my defense, and also to Toriks' defense, I've been shown a conversation between Ryedawg and him, here it is :
MizterConfusing was also on the list but in the end I decided not to add him.
After I've been reported of the situation, I've read some pretty long chat logs that were summing up how the old crew was moderating : as I said, a bunch of either inactive people (Nord, M_tt), Zoton didn't want to keep going, Havii was accepting pretty much everything without checking much, and darkviper ¤seemed¤ to go the same way. The moderation logs also helped me to lead to this conclusion. Having such a thing on the leaderboard of a rather big game was surprising, and this is why I decided to go with Ryedawg's suggestions.
Now, I must admit that it might be a bad move to rush this. My previous experiences showed me that having a "confrontation" between mods and people reporting them hardly leads anywhere, because both sides will stand on their positions. This is why I decided to act.
As a final word, please keep in mind that if things turn bad, first, I have means to check that, and second, you are also allowed to report as Ryedawg did. In the meantime, I am all ears to try and find a solution that will please the most. Maybe Ryedawg doesn't achieve unanimity but if this is what was needed to make things move, then I take responsibility.
Greetings,
I've been alerted about the situation of the GTAV leaderboards, and I could see that the current moderators were either inactive, not willing to continue moderation, or not willing to keep the leaderboard accurate. Therefore, the previous mods have been replaced by Ryedawg and ToriksLV who showed me their motivation to fix the boards and moderate them in a better way.
No I deleted his post. Now please come back on the topic.
Hi, Last year I created @SpeedrunWRs, a Twitter bot that announces when a World Record is beaten, based on the speedrun.com database. I just created a Mastodon account so the bot now posts the same content on Twitter and this new growing platform. You can find it on the mastodon.xyz instance or find it with this alias : @WRBot@mastodon.xyz
Ok, case is closed. Back to the topic please.
And with that mentality you want to moderate games ? Let me assure you it won't happen then.
[quote]@kirkq what means I must do a run of this game of the game" if I want to request it? I must write in additional notes the link of my run of that game?[/quote] Doing a run means doing a run. Play it, time it, record it, post it, and then you might be more legitimate.
Well, maybe other people's opinion will differ, but my opinion is the following : it just feels like you're starting the game from an already existing file, even though you actually press "New game". To an extent, and to refer to my previous post, you could just "setup" your save to start from the final area and boom, easy WR. So if you consider that you can't do that with the final area portal, the same applies for the first door of the game.
I'm not a fan of the idea, considering that it's technically something that happens "outside" of the actual run. We're doing the exact same thing in the 0% misc category, except that we do this trick at the portal that leads to the final area. This is why 0% runs are 3 minutes long.
