Requesting Supermod for DDR Mario Mix http://www.speedrun.com/Dance_Dance_Revolution_Mario_Mix

The Current, and only Supermod of the game has only ever verified runs, and doesn't even check the forums for the game, even though he has shown forum activity among other games in the past.

Me and Fungah are both the Supermods of the DDR Series, as well as DDR Max and DDR X, and we actually check and respond to forum posts, rather than JUST looking at and verifying runs.

If you check the game's forums, and even visit it's community discord, you can see that it's community is clearly outraged by the lack of care by BlueHyperMan, and it needs a new mod, one that actually performs the proper Mod-Duties.

@TheBronyGames contact him and tell him over twitter, checking the forum is NOT required and is also NOT a good reason to take over moderation.

@Deln When the only person who can add/change categories isn't even listening to recommendations, to the point the community has to make their own leaderboards off-site I think it's time you reconsider your spot.

Yes, that's the position BlueHyperMan is in with the DDR:MM Community at the moment, however, he refuses to add anyone as a mod, when asked on social media, according to Bat, who made a request here a week ago...

it seems like i pushed out the wrong point.

The community does not like the way he runs the game, they want a change and that's what i'm here, trying for.

I have a pending world record speed run on that game, and would like to have it officiated. He hasn't done a run in a year, and hasn't uploaded anything on his YouTube in a year, and hasn't made a forum post in 7 months. He has no listed twitter so I have no way to contact him other than commenting on his videos. It does say he was active 1 month ago in his info, I am unsure what the ruling on that would be.

Thank you for your time and effort! -Tytoos.

@TheBronyGames gather evidences and foward them to kirkq via twitch PM(maybe tweet at him), maybe even have a community poll on the forums themself? Either way, i doubt you could overthrow someone unless you have proof of him being like that(not saying that you're saying fake stuff, but its better than a he said/she said kind of thing).

Also having a discord server with a few people bashing on one guy doesnt really prove anything tbh.

@TheBronyGames I just checked what Bat said and he was wrong about some things. 1) As you can see on the DDR Mario Mix page there are a lot of runs verified and they have been verified for lot of time so how can they have been verified without me being the only mod in that page so i think you understand he was wrong.. 2) You say that i don't accept other guys to enter as mods. The only guy who asked me was Bat if i remember correctly and i told him that the page was ok and if i needed help i would have added him as the page wasn't busy and the only true thing you said was that there were forums which i didn't check which i now noticed. Usually i get notifications of new forums for the games i Mod but for this i didn't and i just noticed that it's probably because it didn't get into the list of my followed games. You should have asked me and told me on Private and not make a whole post here like i have to do RN to clarify what i'm doing. Edit: Not only that but you say that you are A mod or supermod for all the other ddr games and you think that that gives you the right to post against me without even trying to talk to me to try to find the reasons for why i didn't check the forums. You think that you deserve to be a supermod for ddr mario mix as you're a supermod for the other ddr games and idk if you care about this game cause you don't look like you even care as you don't even have a run of it and it's like you only care about being a mod for anything and not taking seriously the mod duties and then you accuse me that i don't care about my duties.

@Kenanelite123 He has a twitch account and some alternative game-streaming account listed on his profile (link given). I messaged him on twitch but last known activity on that site was from 2 years ago.

I would like to be a mod for the game "Dinosaurs For Hire" (http://www.speedrun.com/Dinosaurs_For_Hire). I did a run quite a while ago that the current mod never accepted or rejected. I tried contacting him on twitch, but never got a reply. I don't think he's even been on this site for a while.

Hello. I would like to see the existing mods for Warhammer: End Times Vermintide removed and others appointed. One of them has not been online for over a year and the other has not run the game in over a year. I tried having some active discussion (with the only active mod) on some changes that needed to be made to the ruleset, based on recent changes to the game, etc to no avail. In particular, I made the suggestion of adding a 2P category due to the fact that the community is very small and it is far easier to find one other person to run with than 3. We have recorded a run of every map in the game with 2P and my recent post on Reddit has incited interest in the category. A run has not been submitted for this game in over a year. I argued that adding a 2P category could only be beneficial. Regardless, I was met with counter arguments which were largely irrelevant and highlighted a lack of basic understanding of speedrunning this particular game.

As a separate gripe, the individual level ruleset is not clear enough. In short, there is a glitch which allows you to gain control of your character during the initial cutscene. This is not explicitly disallowed in the ruleset and newer players running the game are making the mistake of using it a result, thus invalidating their times out of the gate.

Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vermintide/comments/5spuiu/man_the_ramparts_nm_trio_219/

As the current rule set states: "Time begins when the screen is full black just before you have a visual on your character. " This isn't clear enough to disallow chat exploit from being used. As you can see in the recently recorded run by some new runners, they start the timer as the screen goes full black. Sounds peachy by current ruleset.

In addition, the individual ruleset is not even clearly visible to the public. If you click on "full game leaderboard", the ruleset is at the top of the screen. However, if you click on "level leaderboard" and "view all", the ruleset is not at the top of the page. In order to view the ruleset, you have to click on a single map. I suggested that instead the ruleset maybe be moved into the resources tab. As far myself and the players I run with, an individual level ruleset did not even exist, and only full game runs on hard were allowed.

If you look at his history, he is the moderator of a whole slew of games where he is sole the participant. He puts down a single time, which he nor any other person attempts to compete with, and moves on. I'm not convinced that he is at all interested in actually speedrunning Vermintide, nor creating interest in new runs being submitted. If you look at his top three most recent runs:

Disney's Tangled: Moderator, Sole participant. Disney-Pixar Brave: Moderator, Sole participant. Alice In Wonderland (2010): Moderator, Sole participant

Yet when I suggest a 2P category is added to a game which has not received a submitted run in over a year, I am greeted with the argument that "empty categories are bad" despite the fact that we will single handedly fill the entire category, and continue to compete with those times.

I have been actively pursuing revitalizing the speedrunning community with in this game. I have been in regular contact with the developers of the game discussing the creation of a speedrun build which will allow players to run on a stable patch. It was extremely frustrating trying to reason with this individual and ultimately I gave up. I hope something can be done in this matter and your attention and time is greatly appreciated.

It has been 22 days since neskamikaze last logged in. A friend and I have been grinding out Popeye 2 and submitting runs and then having to cancel them to submit new ones because the lack of reviewing. I can't find a way to get a hold of nes as his twitter appears to be suspended. If anyone does know a way I can contact him to request mod, please let me know.
