hadn't considered pb progression tracking. that makes sense roop. I'm open to developing a protocol to handle these sort of situations

While we are on the subject, on behalf of all the mods I would ask that you please delete your old PB submissions after you submit a time that is better. I am trying to go through the submissions now and there are several submissions that are candidates for deletion. Admittedly, I did not know how to do this when I first started speedrunning. There is an ellipses/3 dots in the upper right-hand corner of the window within your pending run window. Click that and simply select 'delete run' to delete old submissions that are slower than your most recent submission. thanks everyone

I love this game and would love to help you guys with moderation requests if you'd like help thanks ~goofy

I agree with darpey. I don't say much on here but this has been on my mind a lot lately. I have an analogy for what it's worth. When I started my first job, I was not completely competent in all the required tasks the position demanded. However, my boss gave me a 30 day probationary period to prove myself. Guess what happened? It motivated me to learn the required information to adequately tackle the position responsibilities, and they signed me on. moderation requests could be applied in the same fashion. I feel like this topic has been explored many times and each time I hear it discussed, I often do NOT hear grumbling or complaining, but earnest offerings of help that go seemingly unnoticed. In the least, why not give someone a probationary period. I just don't see that being such a difficult undertaking. I personally love to teach and what a great opportunity it would be if someone was given the option of being mentored by a mod to help assist them. I just don't see how that could go wrong. thanks for your consideration of these comments and suggestions. I love this community and just want to continue seeing it grow. that's my two cents.

this is extremely helpful. thanks @KingOf_JonnyBoy and thanks also for walking me through each of these BBG setups recently during my stream.

try this out and let me know if it helps: I've been meaning to put together this video and others like it for a long time now

Hey everyone,

I thought it would be helpful to migrate our discussion from discord smb2j channel into this thread. Lost Levels has proven to be a most favorable and increasingly popular game to run. With the increased popularity, it seems worthwhile to consider requests from those willing to help moderate runs.

So many of us have full time jobs, families, and multiple responsibilities we manage day-to-day, and it is an understandable and obvious challenge to moderate a game as popular as mario; in this instance, Lost Levels. It goes without saying that recognition is owed to our current team of mods. Again, they set aside valuable time to commit to evaluating runs. I am relatively new to the mario community, so I will not be as up to speed on the history and reasoning behind why topics such as moderation requests are still being deliberated. However, i recognize the importance of approaching the topic in a patient and thorough manner. It's not something to just decide overnight.

If you've made it this far, I applaud your patience in reading through this lengthy appeal. I ask that if possible, please consider opening up the application process for those who wish to help moderate this game. There are a lot of talented and enthusiastic runners who would love nothing more than to help you guys out and to add to the foundation already laid.

thanks for your time and efforts -goofy

thanks Timmiluvs, makes sense. yeah I'm fine with waiting for the verification of the run. I just wanted to request a retime. im new to the forums so this was helpful. thanks again

Would someone care to time/validate my 10:44 run in this category at your convenience? thanks i really appreciate it -goofy
