Leaderboards moderation requests thread

Is this where people are going to get leaderboard moderatorship before a game comes out?

@Nenad

You wanna try again, bud? I stopped checking the activity of each mod for that game after the first 5 (4 of which have all been on within the day, or week). And that's only half the mods.

Go contact one of the 20 mods the game seems to have directly, or post on their forums. This is a last-resort thread.

Hiya, I would like to request to become the Moderator of Nintendogs, since the current moderator has been inactive for 5 months and will not respond to my twitter messages despite tweeting etc in days after my message was sent. There is no other way to contact the moderator (since the Twitch page doesn't exist either) and I would like to run the game, I am requesting moderation. (Removing Current mod is optional but it would seem more productive since he's inactive.)

Thank you!

Dugongue: I added you since they aren't verifying runs.

Avery1D: That game has plenty of moderators.

Cuttyflame: It looks like your run was added. If this continues to be a issue we can look into it.

Sagaz_14: Please discuss it with the super mod.

bill_play3: Promoted the other mod and added you as well.

Lazar181: Runs pending, inactive mod, okay.

ufotekkie: The game request form should clarify this. I would rarely if ever add a game that wasn't out through this thread. (I think I'm missing the previous posts for context.)

scoagogo: If you do a run, we can probably add you. You don't seem to have a run or a pending run.

@kirkq I can't do a run however due to current rules and emulator being banned for no given reason. This is one of the things I would change above everything else.

@scoagogo

Submit a run anyways, just mark your run as not being emulator. Site admins probably just want to see that you're actually going to run the game and not just take over a leaderboard.

Can I have Mod on Chaos Faction 2? There is only one mod and they haven't been active for over two months. We can't get ahold of them. Another dude and I have been fighting for the world record and have a few runs that need posting (as far back as 4 weeks ago). Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to become a moderator for The Unfinished Swan. I've posted several questions to the moderator (as have others) and tried to contact to no avail through Twitter, and he still seems to be logging into Speedrun.com. My run has been awaiting verification for over 5 days now.

I've been trying to add a few categories to accommodate for people who have already completed the game (as it stands, you have to delete the application saved data from the PS4 every single time you wish to start a new run, which also deletes all upgrades you have received from collecting items throughout playing the game)

Here's the link:

Thanks so much!

@kirkq it seems that the rule says to message a staff member about it, is that correct?

I'm going to request mod for Little Nemo (https://www.speedrun.com/Little_Nemo_The_Dream_Master). I'm not sure how active Havoc is at the moment and having more than one mod makes sense in any case.

Come on Joka, he was online 18 hours ago. Just ask him directly, that's not what this thread is for.

Hello, I'm one of the Super Mods for Galaga. I would like to request removal of the other Super Mod, LazerLemon. Recently, he has been caught splicing two runs and lying about it. PrinceRallis (the other mod) and I don't trust LazerLemon having power over the boards, or the runs on it, due to his recent loss of integrity.

I'd like to request moderation for Sonny 2: https://www.speedrun.com/Sonny_2

I submitted a run ~3 weeks ago where I improved my previous WR but it hasn't been veryfied yet ... in fact, the only mod for this game hasn't been online for ~6 weeks. Moreover, his profile doesn't include any means to contact him (which is not good in general as the only mod of a game). Also, it appears like I'm the only person at the moment who is putting serious effort into running and routing this game anyway ... well ... :V

(Moderation for Sonny 1 is not necessary as one of the mods there appears to be active)

I submitted a run into Tonic Trouble (N64) about a month ago, since then I have contacted all the mods through twitch but none of them have answered. I Noticed that the Supermod Red_Jinjo was online 5 days ago, but before that he had not been online for more than three weeks, and he has still has not verified or declined the run I sent in so I don't think he has seen it. I also asked in the forums for the game to add a 100% category to the game but nobody has answered that. So I would like to become a mod for Tonic Trouble (N64).

Moderation for TSG has been completely messed up for a very long time https://www.speedrun.com/tsg

Initially the only active mod for the game was pet_petiguana, before we made him tick that series mods had power over the game (back when that was still a thing).

We're now stuck with every series mod who doesn't care about the game left as supermods, with actual runners (myself, Kayumon, Woutt64 and LiquidWifi) being stuck with a massive amount of extra moderators who don't care about the game. I've already asked multiple people to just unmod themselves to no avail.

This is also a problem with the Simpsons series as a whole, where a bunch of people were added as series mods for no reason. Almost all of the additional series mods only care about Hit & Run. This is consistent across most of the games in the series, where it would be better to just leave actual runners as mods there since none of us can reasonably even verify runs of games I have no idea about.
