I speedrun a game called Super Mario 3D World, But all of the games moderators no longer speedrun that game. I was looking to find out who I talk to about seeing about a moderator change?

Two of the moderators have submitted runs to the LBs within the last 2 months. Are you certain that they have entirely stopped running the game?

If the scene is indeed kinda dead, then I can add another moderator for this game.

Vallu is still running now and again. Rare has stopped for months, And nindiddeh is only running SMS now. So Vallu111 is the only active one now :)

Any update Adam?

Just because someone isn't running a game currently, doesn't make them incapable of being part of the community or maintaining the leaderboards. Just a thought.

The moderators job is simply to maintain the board. It isn't intended to imply they actively run the game, though ideally they should be people knowledgeable about the game. If the community feels the need to elect or switch over moderators, we can work to accommodate that.

As long as they are doing a reasonable job moderating/updating the board and they have reasonable connection to the community, there isn't really a need to change things.

Sorry this didn't get an update sooner. Admins don't really monitor the "Talk" forum threads much. We've been pretty good about keeping up with "The Site" forums recently. As far as who you should talk to regarding these things in the future, the "About" page linked at the bottom of the site lists moderators and admins. We're pretty active on "The Site" forums.

Hello ! I Run a game called Sym that already has a categorie on your website. Unfortunately I do an any% of this game and there is no such categorie for this. So I tried to join the moderator (pseudo: kaesdescie) but he didn't reply me (I saw him connected many times and I think he saw my topic). Maybe he don't want to run this game anymore or he don't want to loose his number one place, I don't know.

Here is my question: Can you join him? Or If you can't, can you add me as moderator? I hope you will do something for because I really want to submit my Run.

Thanks you for reading

How about u get mods that actually accept runs, the outlast community is shit, the mods wont accept my runs because i suck? seriously tho

A moderator for a game has the ability to refuse a submission and give a reason behind it. I doubt they would not process it because it is "shit." The more submissions a game has against it the more popular that game will become. I can only assume that they haven't reviewed your submission yet.

And like Adam said, if the game has dropped off the grid and the moderators aren't active you can put a request in on the forums surely.

  1. Congratulations on necroing a 5 month old post.

  2. Rules for submission are a community based thing. That includes the requirement for proof of a run. Only 4 second or not, if that community requires proof, then you must show your proof.

Ya, but thats bullcrap because some guy has a better time than me and has no proof and he just popped up outa nowhere.

Well go complain on the game's forums, as obviously there are mods there that are contradicting each others decisions. Nothing we can do about it here.
