IWBTG Fangame request thread has been dead for over 9 months. https://www.speedrun.com/iwbtgfg/thread/toidu
@shoe did you try to contact tehjman1993? he is the one who made the thread. I think the problem is that he just didn't get a notification for the thread (also the fact that mods are no longer able to edit posts so he can't add his [added] note)
I apologize in advance for the structure of this
Requesting that literally anyone else other than the current mods should mod https://www.speedrun.com/JetPac
Firstly, jetpac wasn't released on pc and all the runs done are from some website and had been put it in the resources http://www.classicgamesarcade.com/game/21663/jetpac-spectrum-game.html . Anyone that looks up original gameplay for this game or even watches it from rare replay can tell that this version or imitation whatever it is isn't accurate to the actual game (most notably the fuel packs fall stupidly fast in this version compared to the original game) and so far all I've gotten from the mods about this is "k" and "pc runs should be fine" after bringing it up https://www.speedrun.com/JetPac/thread/s3hfd Even before I had brought it up system separation was already talked about before https://www.speedrun.com/JetPac/thread/8vjdv except in this thread one of the mods decided that the game on console is invalid simply because their website they use to run the game plays differently, and also seems to some extent because of ignorance in making subcategories. I'd like to add that this game is on zx spectrum which is a selectable console on speedrun.com although it's entirely possible that it was added later on after grape's comment about it not being a selectable console on speedrun.com.
Now secondly, after I had brought this up one of or maybe multiple of the mods started doing random things with the board, on sunday/monday someone decided to change the background of jetpac to this https://i.imgur.com/EryOuhe and then yesterday someone had added a bunch of random mods to the board https://imgur.com/Iwot0PR one who hasn't been on in a year and another 22 days. https://imgur.com/aGtk6OB this is who the original mods were before the random additions. I understand that virtually no one runs this game (and I don't have a run on it either) but not board should be subject to immaturity and ignorance like jetpac has.

We need Warenfetischismus removed as mod from this page. He has been inactive for a while as well as removing all of his top runs from his page, sadly.
Also, I feel the need to defend myself from a post that (now banned) user @Cosmeme made regarding me in this thread earlier this week.
"Now onto the other series mods, Jumpyluff and whatsoup, though he was the one who requested the series. Jumpyluff is a mod on many games, so I’m not really sure where his origin is in the community, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one who submitted the series to SRC. Whatsoup was a speedrunner who ran The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game, but hasn't had any input in the community for a good few years. As SHiFT is the only series mod which is active in the community, and he has blocked all contact with me unfairly, this is my last resort as nobody else can really help out here. Because of this, the game series is clearly in need of better series mods, as really none of the three are suited to be there."
It is not my place to state what I believe happened to whatsoup. I was added as a series mod because of my past history with being the manager of the google doc leaderboard for the Spongebob series before speedrun.com was around. For reference, the BfBB record was a 1:12 by Coel at the time of the switch to speedrun.com. I am not a moderator of BfBB, as it has taken off in ways that no other Spongebob game has, and I have no business moderating that page when it is kept up so thoroughly. This being said, no other game in the series receives the same amount of attention, and likely will never need to. I'm familiar enough with the smaller games especially, and due to my working knowledge of the game, I was kept around. I'm still active on the site, and I contribute when necessary either by modding, discussing, or verifying. I'm never hard to reach.
Requesting control of https://www.speedrun.com/f.e.a.r._pm
Since I'm in the process of creating a page for the other expansion (Extraction Point), I figured now would be the time to request this. I have worked on this game off-and-on since 2013, along with other F.E.A.R. games. The two moderators there appear inactive, and neither have a time in this game. There also isn't an "Any%" category, only a "100%" category with nonsensical rules listed.
I know that asking the super mod first about that kinda stuff is how things are done but this is probably somewhat relevant to overfiendvip's case when it comes to the FEAR boards https://twitter.com/redemption99/status/842954488474488832
@Overfiendvip Have you tried contacting the current mods through Twitter or Twitch? One of them was online earlier today, I guess they just aren't paying attention to the board for some reason.
@Komrade To be fair, they completely ignored a forum post from 9 months ago asking about adding an Any% category with reasonable rules, and they also took over a month to verify the only run on the board, so one could reasonably think they're inactive regardless of how often they log into the site. https://www.speedrun.com/f.e.a.r._pm/thread/saw78
Yeah, we need notifications for game forum posts, not sure I'd blame the mod too much for missing those.
@Komrade There's an option for that in the follow settings (and, IIRC, it's on by default). If you're not following a game that you moderate then you're doing something wrong.
If it was on be default I would be getting notifications. Which means having me follow games I moderate by default. Unless I disabled something awhile back without thinking. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but w/e
Edit: I've never touched my settings and notifs for followed games is not ticked by default
@Tron_Javolta I agree with jetpac, I brought it up to them awhile ago and they did nothing, the site they run on is not accurate in item drop times, spawn rates, or ship speed when completing a level. plus the changes they made to the page (i.e. color of the forums) is straining on the eyes, but they don't seem to want to change how the game is modded.
Yeah I'm one of JetPac's mods and I don't even know what that game is. I just know the mods and they gave me the role.
Adding Super Mods to a game willy-nilly is an INCREDIBLY fucking stupid thing to do as they have the power to delete the game if they so desire.
@Drakodan Only up to 2 weeks, after that only Full Mods & Admins can delete it
Ah that is true, presumably for that sort of reason.
EDIT: I have the Delete Game option for every game I'm a Super Mod in, but I've never tried it for obvious reasons.
I believe that you have the delete option but if you click it it errors out and says that you need to contact someone to delete it.
I'm the only other person who runs Receiver. I'm going to be running it for the next couple of weeks. Instead of waiting for the guy who hasnt seemed to have added another run in like a year to approve it, can I just be given mod status?
Otherwise by the time I get anything approved I'll already have moved on from the game. I got "world record" in it too already, lol, but it wont show up for who knows how long.
