In my defense, on the black ops 4 run, I was genuinely curious as to whether or not my run would be legal. At least from my perspective, the run I submitted was within the rules. After having my run reviewed, I now know that I was wrong, and that's okay. I would have asked about the rule, but I can't exactly ask in the discord anymore,so I just put forth the run, and figured that would be fine.

All we are trying to do is get into the zombies speedrunning community as a group of friends, that's all. We've apologized for any disrespect our submissions may have implied, and we hope to be a part of the community.

We're trying to get unbanned from running, which is exactly why we're posting here.

We appreciate your time, and thank you for your patience.

If you looked at prior runs you'd realize others used the method of the papped alter gun to actually unlock pack-a-punch. It' pretty blatant that you have to pack-a-punch with points as using a gobblegum to pack a punch was banned in bo3. I thought this was pretty clear to everyone, and you didn't care to ask in the discord when you weren't banned and you could've used our forum. I'm unbanning all of you on the discord and on src for the fact that I literally don't care anymore to argue this. I've already had to explain the rules a dozen times. Just read the rules it's not difficult. We have all these rules set in place to filter out terrible quality runs and spam from the forum as we have a lot of runners and categories. I hope you realize as the main admin/mod of src zombies my patience has run thin with trolls, and if you are to troll anymore you WILL be banned. Thanks.

Does this mean that my would-be 9th place Solo Song on Nacht run will be approved? The rejection reason given was "too long of a run compared to first - banned player". First place is from 9 months ago and the current 12th place run was approved 27 days ago, so it seems that there should be no issue as I am no longer a banned player.

My intention behind that submission was to make some amends for our mistakes as new players by presenting a "proper" run and I hope you can understand that.

As someone whos kinda outside on this I can understand and agree with the actions taken by the mods in regard to the submission when it comes to acceptance of runs the very end of the video put the nail in the coffin, and had I had someone submitted a run like that I would have told them to redo it with cleaner language or mute the audio. It just doesnt look like any effort was put into the run, so If the mods deemed it not suitable then thats that. do a better run and resubmit if it matters that much.

@elliotthegamer You should ask King, the mod of the game. He's active on the site/net. And this thread is a last resort ;)

Just recently, 2 people were added to the Super Mario 64 Online page, MarvJungs & Tomatobird8, for seemingly no reason. We have 4 mods that are fairly active and have no need for the extra people. Can we get them removed?

Also, we understand that they are "Secondary Rom-Hack Series" Mods, however given they have had 0 interaction with us and have had 0 to do with the game, we see no reason for them to suddenly moderate the game.

Why not contact them about it on sm64 rom hack speedrunning discord first? (eventhough i've contacted them) Here is the link https://discord.gg/gNpwTqJ @NachoBrado @robthegamer115

I see no reason to remove them both from SM64 Online. They are a really good part of the SM64 ROM hack community and I appreciate their work.

21 days of inactivity (as @Liv mentioned directly and as I stated) is the 3rd of November. I would hazard to guess that if your run isn't verified by then then Liv would do something about the issue, but probably not before then.

Ok @Liv thank you for your response. Admittedly, myself and the other mods overreacted and apologize for wasting your time. We were worried that for some reason the game was basically being taken over without any valid reason. After discussing this with the SM64 rom hack series mods, I now see we were wrong. There is a mutual understanding between all of us now, and we reached the same conclusion that you stated.

@TanyaVsTheWorld For now, I'd rather just leave this. As it says on the first page, inactivity is 21 days and they've only been offline for 10. There's no reason for us to jump the gun and cut the necessary period for inactivity from 21 days to 10 days.

@Ozsef Whilst I can mod you for the page that you have a currently pending run in, but it doesn't seem entirely necessary to intervene currently with the series page. Literally the only power series mods have is the ability to add game pages and bypass the request form, and for a series like Google Doodle I'm not sure that's even entirely necessary honestly.

@Tirel They were last online 7 days ago: https://www.speedrun.com/user/Sgitch/info so not sure where you're getting 3 years from. Similar to Tanya's case, doesn't make sense to jump the gun and alter mods around after someone has been offline for only 7 days.

@The-Mad-King Added.

Please delete these two games. I don't think anyone will be running them anytime soon. I don't even know why I added them in the first place.
