Nice to see you take it like that, i'm sorry if i seem rude, but yeah, it's just a large block of text and no one likes reading stuff like that, plus, it's something important afaik so it should be easy to read.
Anyway, i can kinda understand what you mean about that background stuff, but, heh, imo it's just a background, it's not important. I won't say anything else though, i don't even play Persona games, not sure why i even said anything to begin with.
It's fine. I probably came off harsher than I intended to in the initial post due to a couple of factors - I typed it on my phone, which can be a pain and shorthand has a tendency to do that. I was also still incredibly frustrated due to being told by the other mod (who does not run the game) that I was "a series mod flexing" on a game that I run and have moderated since I started running it. I don't particularly like arguing which put me in a particularly bad mood. I usually try to be a lot more careful with words, because my goal isn't to tick people off or start drama. And you were right, that yes, I had the details but they weren't as clean as they could have been, so I've gone back and cleaned that up.
Did you really block me? Okay then... :/
Going down your list Game was created before the new rules where you have to have a run of the game and video proof to create a board. Meh. The game had no runs or routes available at the time. I don't really know the history before I had mod of the board, which was when I was halfway through learning the game and when Mulsqi had finished his first run. Mulsqi didn't submit to the leaderboards, and I wanted to make sure it was out there. I finished my first run not long after. and had been actively routing and working with the game for a while. I was the one that placed the other categories under misc and removed the background, and since you were not a runner of the game and presumed to be inactive on the board, yes, I did not message you. At this point, I assumed that I and Mulsqi, who were the runners, had ownership of the board and that was that. A few months ago, I was lamenting that every SMT board looked different, at which point, I finally did something about it. I sent the PM to T3tsuya you linked. This wasn't related to P4G which, because I was already moderating it, and it was set up how I wanted it. Note that I was not a series moderator at the time. T3tsuya agreed with me and offered to make me a series mod, which I didn't ask for. I posted it to the forum at this point as well, because it was the best way to allow for some transparency and for people to have a chance to say something. This is unrelated to P4G btw, as I would still have been upset to see the change regardless of whether I was series mod or not.
If you absolutely want to see the dirty laundry, this is the tweet chain. https://twitter.com/ghoul02/status/721174519046475776 Yes, my first tweet is probably too brusque and accusatory.
That said I'm done talking about it until an actual site mod says something or has questions.
Please no popcorn in this thread, Its hard to remove popcorn stains Kappa
Okay... Let's try this.
I'm really sorry the first tweet came off as abrasive. It definitely should have started with please and been a fair bit nicer. That's on me. and probably started the whole thing being more aggressive than it should have been.
Can you unblock me on Twitter, let's DM this and take care of it quietly. Fair?
Only, most series have this. See Final Fantasy, where the picture is always the games official logo. Or Kingdom Hearts, same thing. Having a standard look for box art/game image is literally best practice for the website. Yes, it's a hobby at the end of the day. The community should still try to put its best foot forward.
You're also right, I came forward with the guidelines. I also was incredibly careful to reach out to every mod of another game with runners before making any changes. There are places to discuss if there are issues or if people disagree, which are actively monitored.
Moderators are trusted to yes, verify runs to the best of their ability. They're supposed to listen to feedback, which I have at every turn. I'm also trying to keep the boards looking as presentable as possible to people looking at them which is another part of being a moderator.
I'm not going to argue the last point and agree that yes, segmented runners are runners. I never said otherwise.
It's being taken care of off here, but thank you for your input.
I would like to help moderate the new "Slither.io" game. Currently there is only one mod (who I cannot contact as he has not provided any social media), and I would love to work along side him on this game. It is fairly new, but like agar.io it will get popular quickly. I am responsible and will not ignore submissions. I have a few ideas for the leaderboard of the game which will hopefully increase the popularity of speedrunning it. Thank you for reading my application and I hope you will consider me for moderator position of "Slither.io".
@Rubixcubix534 This is a last resort thread for times when mods are inactive or unreasonable. The mod of slither.io is neither. They were last on the site 18 hours ago.
Please try making a forum post on the games board before coming here.
While you guys have finished your discussion, next time keep it off this thread.
I can't believe we're 57 pages in and people still aren't getting the dot point nature and intention of the whole thing.
And for @rubixcubix534, please follow the advice listed on Ozotuh's post above. Thanks.
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.)

@Trollbear666 people dont bother reading anything, its a shame.
Perhaps we could keep the thread to one page, then maybe, just maybe, they might read the first post.
By which I mean, trim off any non-essential posts that have been dealt with, which also removes any drama that may have happened.
What about changing the title of the topic by adding something like "EMERGENCY ONLY, READ FIRST POST" ? Maybe that could make it crystal clear.
