Most speedrunners use twitter or discord to communicate. By not wanting either you're not just saying that you don't want to put in the work to contact mods of a certain game, but that you also don't want to be contacted by runners over issues like this very issue when the situation may occur.
I did the same thing for a new game before. Games that are highly anticipated in the speed world will become overwhelmed with submissions, but also, game requests.
So who gets to start the leaderboard? Probably someone familiar with the community around similar games. It's a case by case thing I'm sure.
I know the only reason I got a leaderboard up before the game came out was to prevent trolling and letting the leaderboard go to shit with 100 categories. A few other runners and myself helped to build the community around it and added new mods as we saw fit. I would have preferred for it to go this way, rather than 100 people submitting game requests day 1.
roses are red violets are blue you get faster load times with a slim PS2
@Sewiferos how about you tell us what game it is then
[quote]And how can someone time something so specifically that they'll cut out each loading screen by the frame?[/quote] they do exactly that, remove the time spent on all loads.
show me this game and its 190 levels, you make it sound like an MMO with its length lol

For what leaderboard? Does that leaderboard even need mods? Most games only need 1, MAYBE 2 mods. @Sewiferos
[quote]4th game request[/quote] going out on a limb here but I think the game itself might be the problem.
@Marster772 try asking the mods of the game yourself. seems to work, as seen here: https://www.speedrun.com/Portal_Knights/thread/v84qa
