How long do i have to wait to get my speed run confirmed and submitted?

Depending a community. Honestly, I try at 106% to verify a run under 24h. However, the usual on speedrun.com is 3 weeks. I know that's long.

Alrighty, thank you.

It definitely depends on the community/game, but 3 weeks is not 'the usual' as far as I'm aware. There are some games that are undermoderated sure, but runs are marked overdue after 1 week, very overdue after 2 weeks, which seems to hold pretty well.

Well, "3 weeks" is usually what's recommended on game forums :/

We're probably just talking about different things.

3 weeks is more a 'If it takes longer, the game is undermoderated'. I was talking about the average/expected time it takes for a run to be verified instead.

1 week is about the standard as far as I've seen them take, it could be a few days. Its not a perfect because like Lightnat0r said depending on the number or moderators for the game, so waiting a week is a minimal. I'd like to add that longer runs then a hr or so can take a bit longer to verify as well because its more that they have to check over etc.

Anyways Good Luck with your runs, and make sure to give your self the best chance when submitted runs to include video and if you can providing splits can be a great help, but you should always take note of what is required to submit a run for the game you are running. Not all games have the same rules and or requirement standards for submitting runs.

I currently have a run submitted and it has been a little over a week thus far. It is my first run submitted. There are two mods assigned to the game. Hope it gets approved soon! :)

My Runs get accept like in 1-5 days. It´s different. If the Mods are very active or just active. You need just to wait.

I just started running Pneuma : Breath of Life a week ago and my WR submitted 3 days ago is still awaiting validation. There wouldn't be any problem if it wasn't a week old speedrun.com sommunity. I know some people are trying to join this community but their time is still awaiting validation. Even my WR got bested this morning by 00Svo, but if you're not following his streams, you can't have any clue about that.

I tried contacting the mod (Penns87) and I'm waiting for his response, but I'd like to know if I still don't have any sign of life from him, let's say in 1 week, is there anything I can do ?

Moderator came back and named a second moderator (00Svo). So problem solved. ^^

How do you submit a run? I don't have one yet but I will soon, and I'm kinda shocked I've been unable to find how to do this ¤or¤ to find the answer in some kind of FAQ somewhere.

You go to the game's page and in the top right corner, right under your account related menus, there is a text "submit run". Admittedly it seems rather subtle to me as well, but most rankings are looked at rather than submitted to I guess.

Good job reviving an old thread Ethanmallard1 (y)

@Trollbear666, try not to be condescending to a fairly new user. Reviving dead threads are annoying but don't make a fool out of them. Besides, two months isn't really that dead for this forum.

@ethanmallard1, have you tried making contact with the mods of the games you've submitted runs for?
