United StatesWe've wanted support for multiple 'full-game' and 'individual level' boards with arbitrary names, but it requires major refactoring of site code.
Feedback thread is a good place as well. Lighnat0r is making changes related to this, but I'm not sure that update will directly address this issue. It's maybe more aimed at having your followed games open up a new page. We are aware it's an issue.

Paypal will convert the currency from US dollars if you use the Donate link at the bottom of speedrun.com
1 Euro seems to be about $1.12 with Paypal's conversion rates today, it will show you this in dollars on the second page if you typically use dollars.
Site staff deleted about 10 games out of the 5000 existing games a few months ago. These games were generally trivially short flash games with trivial gameplay. You seem to run a lot of those for whatever reason. When we have better sorting mechanisms for games maybe we can lower the bar a bit for what games we want to feature, but until then people seem to get pretty salty seeing stuff like that on the front page.
I just got back from AGDQ last night and some of the others were handling some issues with the high load from AGDQ. Catching back up on things.
bysshe: Per series moderator request and inactivity of current moderator I added you. loginner: The user is somewhat active, so please try asking on that game's forum. The user probably follows the game and would get a notification of a new forum thread next time he visits the site. Gyoo was speaking towards the fact that we get a bit skeptical in this thread because users sometimes say things just to try to get mod. I think posting on the game forum probably leads to a good solution. DCR: There is not a requirement that moderators verify runs every single time they visit the site. Apparently you were added by someone (probably the moderator himself?). BenevolentLife: The game request queue is about 7 days behind, which is possibly the most behind it has been in the last year. Please be aware these are things we handle in our free time. I'll clear out some of these tonight. Green_Dreamin: Added. xHaviiHx: Asked someone else to handle that request. TaktikalZef: We generally go by the user's last login, which is 4 months, so I'll add you. LateNightRetro: The runs were added after a bit over a week. I'd recommend contacting the moderator and asking to be added. MarioManTAW: Our long term intention is to separate "method of play" from "release console" A game coming out on the Wii U console and a game being played on the Wii U console are two different things. It's really not standardized across the site right now, so moderators may choose to handle it how they wish. My recommendation is to add the comment "played on Wii U" until we can better accommodate it. Mr_Shasta: Added both. Fatel: Added both.
In response to DriftingSkies comment, the general expectation is that people don't link awful times for the sake of completion unless the users specifically want their runs here.
Things like this really need written down formally and I haven't made the time to do so.
We removed automatic association of runs to newly registered users, so we'll handle requests to attach non-user runs here. We can also handle deleting fake registered accounts here or in the account deletions thread.
The way to do this now is to simply edit and save a run, and it will be linked to a newly existing user. Game moderators can handle this, or we can do it in this site thread.
A Tweet linked here or Twitch PM (to me) is probably the easiest way to verify the person who registered the account is the person who did the run.
We'll see how this goes, if anyone has ideas to improve how this works let us know.
Yodenko: Removed the mod that was 10 months inactive and had no run, added you.
Kyman: I control that account now. We'll look into site functionality changes.
Mistakes: As series moderators you can add games to the series (edit series) yourself and change the game categories (edit game on game page) as you want: http://www.speedrun.com/fireboy_and_watergirl
The interface has a lot of options, so ask questions if anything is unclear.
Mistakes: I'll make an exception here and add you because absolutely nothing has been done with the board in 9 months and you have a pending run. Generally we would define inactivity as about 3 weeks.
It sounds like you're thinking about it correctly. I'm not sure I understand the scope of the subcategory crossover for this game well enough to make any suggestions. Maybe someone else can offer suggestion?
The section under "rom hacks" in Lighnat0r's post here ( http://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/cv9x2 ) discusses some planned changes to the front page. That change was more aimed at the default view for users with no changed settings and non-users. We had discussed the ability for addtional customization (like hiding certain games in general), and he was going to look into the feasibility of implementing that. It's unclear how much would need to be rewritten to support per user front page generation, as it is potentially computationally intensive, so it may or may not be included in that update to some degree. It is something we do want to be able to support.
Added. New series requests can go through the game request form though. This thread is more for things that need to be moved into already existing series, but an admin doesn't have the first post <_>;
Ategenos: Promoted you to super.
Arctice: Promoted you to super.
xezrunner: You don't have a run or a pending run, and per the first post in the thread the request should go through an active moderator.
coolmath10: I'm gonna say give it another week or so. You gave him like one week to respond, and this thread requests 3 weeks. His English seems good enough to communicate in my opinion. (I seem to be recalling posts pertaining to issues with this game at some point, but I don't feel like digging them up right now.)
The holidays and AGDQ are coming up, so apologies in advance if responses on the forum are delayed. (Game requests got a bit behind, sorry.)
No one on site staff was really leading the effort to support it. My personal opinion has been I'm fine with having this if it is implemented appropriately, but I don't want to be the one to manage it.
This is hard-coded for Baten Kaitos right now. I don't know what it would take to generalize it.
It has been more actively worked on this month than previous months. Due to uncertainties, it's probably better to not try to estimate completion.
It's part of the flood detection/prevention. Does this affect approving multiple runs in a row as well, or is this only happening in just this specific case of submitting then editing right afterwards?
