Leaderboards moderation requests thread

HolySanctum: Since pretty much nothing was ever done with the page and Scooby games seem to have lots of mods most of the time, this is fine.

My suggestion regarding Call of Duty is to look into adding a couple more moderators, I'm not going to say that's a requirement, just that it may help things. Lo1ts is fine, there's no requirements to check runs every time you visit the site, and 1.5 weeks to verify ILs is probably pretty average compared to many other games. If the current moderator(s) want highly inactive moderators removed, let me know.

I was out of town most of the weekend, my last post in here was 3 days ago lol. I don't do site code, that's why I handle a lot of these requests. I would like to hand this responsibility off eventually, but I think clear guidelines are needed so people taking over can be relatively consistent. It would also be helpful if we could automate many of these requests through a site PM system that still doesn't exist yet. As we continue to improve the site, ideally this thread gets to be less of a headache. It's unfortunately a bit of a "necessary evil" under the current circumstances. Also this was 4 requests taking up 2 pages because people are really opinionated sometimes. A bit of a ramble on my part, but I'm tired. V_V;

DarkOrigins12: It's just a checkbox he probably forgot to click. If the rules say emulators are banned, it's relatively clear that the current expectation is that emulators are banned, it's not exactly superceded by the availability of the option. Playstation emulators are pretty notorious for being inaccurate, so we can't really say that allowing them or disallowing them is unreasonable. I'd say try to sort it out on the forums there first or contact the runner. At a glance I don't think either of you are necessarily wrong in your opinions, but me choosing one person over another wouldn't really solve anything without some actual discussion occurring.

zwlda: Added due to inactivity.

Also user contact info buttons appear to be broken right now, at least for me?

You mean the links to things like Twitch and Twitter? Those work just fine for me.

@kirkq yeah, if klooger and phantom can be removed as moderators of the cod series that would be good, neither have been online in over 2 months and even before that as far as I know didn't really do any verification so we don't exactly need them listed.

Thanks for the response.

Hi everyone

I'm requesting to be a moderator for Gyromite. The reason is because I submitted a run over a month ago and the only mod, WERY, never approved my run, yet he was last online 7 days ago at the time of this post. I could not contact him because he doesn't have any contact links.

My experience with Gyromite is that I have the top time speed run time, plus I have the high scores on both Game A and Game B. At least as far as I know. Everything I have done on Gyromite was streamed and I have proof of skill.

ROMaster2: Yeah I'm special I guess. :(

xSweep: Moderation Requests should generally go through the current moderators per the first post in this thread.

Lo1ts/xHaviiHx: Removed the series mods and moved them to regular mod on all the games. You can remove them there as well if you choose, or you can keep them around.

starcrytas: Added since the run has been pending a long time and it's a small board.

Hi, I submitted a run of Pretentious Game, and I notice that the current moderators, GeniusPirate and SilentButAwesome, haven't been active on the website for 1 year and 3 months, respectively.

So I request to be the moderator of Pretentious Game.

I submitted a run for Heli Attack 3, it has been waiting for 1 month, and the only moderator, Huge Turban:

"Member since 4 months ago

Last online 3 months ago"

I would like to have my run accepted, and I guess be moderator if neccessary

I appear to have been stuck with an abandoned game.

Please find a mod so I can remove myself from it.

@btrim just remove the game. If someone has a run for it they can just request it again.

Trollbear: I mean, there are runs on youtube.

The categories appear to be set up, I just don't know what happened to the user who requested it.

"Error

Only full mods can delete games over 2 weeks old. Please contact one if you want to have this game deleted."

I don't want to be mod of this game. I eventually want an admin to take or transfer ownership of "Disney" (after the two mickey series are created, hopefully).

I was willing to put up with it while I could actually mediate for people but I simply don't have the time to babysit children anymore.

Reminder of the first post (or new people that haven't read it yet)~

Please keep in mind that using this thread is somewhat a last resort, in case the current moderators are not responding or refusing your help without justification. You should always start by asking the Super mods of a game/series as they are also able to add mods. Twitch messages to mods are probably best for now.

Moderator inactivity doesn't apply until around 3 weeks, depending on other circumstances, and it is expected that you try to contact them (exceptions may be made if they have been offline ~3+ months.)

( )

So @ Sp00keh did you try to contact the moderator before posting here?

No posts in the game's forums, but Hoxer hasn't been on in a month. The only thing Hoxer's linked is his inactive Twitch.
