Wiz0rdCrystalScarred: Try sorting it out with him. Maybe he can bump you to super as well so you can add people? He posted on the game forum yesterday.

mugg1991: I've wanted to put in place a "data moderator" type position. We'd need to review some some permissions before adding this. It would be good to have additional people to help maintain some items like this.

darthbuckethead: Your run has been pending 9 days and your past forum posts have suggested quite a bit of impatience. The mods might not be particularly willing to work with you if all you do is post about how bad a job they're doing.

AndersonFerreira: This appears to be a bug with the double underscore in your game. I cannot fix it manually as the links are tied directly to how the site processes your name. Site code would need fixed to support it.

"Case-sensitivity is really inconsistent site-wide" - Yeah I wish links weren't ever capitalized.

It's probably year followed by database table position, which would be pretty bad. Finer granularity on release date would be the better fix.

Desch: Twitch changed a bunch of VOD links a while back. It's generally left to moderators to determine the stringency of video requirements. On a personal note, I don't recommend trusting Twitch to save your VODs, as I believe they lost some VODs years back, and changed URLs on a whim recently.

At the very least someone can probably run a script to update it if we know it works with the new values. (I'm actually not too familiar with the technicalities of using multiple timers.)

You can just submit another and add a note.

0% might be bugged because of the name, unsure. WR history looks mostly fine to me. 0% seems messed up as it only shows one dot when there should be two. What browser are you using?

Moderators don't have access to that setting, only site admins and site full mods. This is primarily to prevent people from doing stupid things like attaching their games to games that have nothing to do with them. It seems like the interface is miscommunicating this by showing that setting as checkable.

I think the long term solution would be to just implement misc as a separate "sub-board" titles "Misc" where we could have an arbitrary number of arbitrarily named "full game" and "IL" leaderboards.

As for a short term solution, it would have to be decided how to display the "not as important" idea in the interface when displaying them by default.

Attached them. Might be something weird going on with the date on that SM64 run, not sure.

My guess is the database assumes .000 as the decimal unless otherwise specified. If at one point the board allowed setting ms and then later on doesn't, it probably doesn't retroactively change the times with ms. It looks like one of the database admins would have to edit that.

The upcoming UI update should make some parts of the site handle resolution better. Are you referring mostly to the horizontal space? I think vertical stretching is pretty necessarily for the longer lists; horizontal could use some improvement though.

I'd recommend talking to people about getting a couple people added to the games that only have 2-3 moderators if moderators are concerned about faster verification.

1 week without verification really isn't much compared to the rest of the site though. People have life obligations and go on vacations and things like that.

I removed some highly inactive moderators by request. Moderators can feel free to add these people back if they feel strongly, but I didn't see a strong reason to keep around people who have been offline numerous months. (I set one mod to regular in an ambiguous case, so the other supers can decide if they want to delete him.)

Racingmonster: You should be able to remove yourself by doing edit game and clicking the X next to your name as moderator. If this doesn't work for some reason, let me know.

S4M: Discuss it with the current moderator. This thread is primarily for inactive moderation and issues with current moderation.

Got it. Seems like editing it to an existing user created a copy with and without user. I deleted the old copy.

I have usually said request it 1-3 weeks in advance for popular series. I've been pointing most pokemon requests to contact the series mods anyway, so it shouldn't be an issue.

I still consider PMs a high priority task as it would save both admins and users a lot of headaches.

I deleted them.

Zaveguin: I don't see any run submissions accepted or pending by you. One of the mods was on 5 days ago.

Vaan666: I think the most correct solution would be for the game's runners to come to a consensus on what the board should look like. Please don't use this thread just to bypass moderators.

GhostScit: In most cases I'm not going to batch add people to games they don't have runs of due to inactivity. A mod was added or logged in for Stray Cat Crossing.

Zewing:

[quote]Also just a quick question, but what is the point of completely taking away series moderation power in individual games? Couldn't there be a better kind of checks and balance instead of blocking them out entirely? [/quote]

The inheritance was very intensive on the database the way it was implemented. There may be better ways to implement something like that. Secondly the control of the board felt too ambiguous and this caused a fair share of conflict. The new/opposite lack of checks and balances also causes some conflict. The current system is either you share control it or you don't; leaving less of an ambiguous middle ground or hierarchy. There may be an implementation scheme that is a better medium. My personal opinion is that clearing up some of the ambiguous middle ground is closer to correct for now.

RobotCrocodilz: On a neutral note, site users seem to take issue with users creating blank boards for games they don't run. (At an extreme, a user could go request a ton of games they don't run and have control of the boards.) Ideally these would be caught by the game request form, but historically the form requested less information so a lot of games slipped through (and many of your games have very old creation dates).

XYX: I'm not exactly looking to give moderator to the loudest protestor or whatever. I'd suggest getting runners to come to a consensus on who they want running the boards. My concern is that the usual meme crew shows up and all run the same game and post a lot on the boards to gain a perceived "majority" when they're all just advocating for each other all the time. Subjectively: "Me and my friends all think I should be mod."

KirbyComment: There are plenty of mods for the game to discuss this with.

Cappan1: Added due to inactivity and you have a run.

I locked it since it's just a bait thread.
