Leaderboards moderation requests thread
9 years ago
Gelderland, Netherlands

I was kinda confused why skull64 got mod of the MKDD leaderboards, but I guess this explains it. I'd like to put my two cents in.

so to add to the Mario Kart Double Dash discussion:

While I don't really mind the addition of mirror mode now that it's a special mode, even though I still see mirror mode as a gimmick and kinda unnecessary, they way Skull64 handled it is in my opinion very pathetic. Just because he didn't agree, he decided that he should contact an admin and get full power of MKDD.

We'll continue the MKDD discussion on the game-specific forum over the next couple of days. King had contacted me yesterday to handle this, but I haven't had time until now.

I added all the series moderators to the game itself for now. There's no reason to use the remove series moderator option in this case. (We'll discuss moderators going forward as well.) Please don't mess with anything else until we agree on something.

EDIT: Also Twitch messages seem to be down at the moment.

I don't know how this got approved. There are already established leaderboards at minesweeper.info. The people who run this board on this site seem to have no clue about the game. The version that comes with Windows is very bad for serious attempts, because it's easy to cheat on, the community made otherwise identical clones that are harder to cheat on and track the time more accurately. Forcing people to play on a bad version is just silly. Also it's community standard that the 8x8 beginner board is played and not the 9x9 one. I say delete this board and ask at minesweeper.info, if they want to set up a board here themselves or import the database or sth.

Hello :) I have submitted a few records of Konami Krazy Racers, but apparently the moderator is not active since 2 months, can you approve the runs please? or if is needed, can you make me a moderator to approve them?

Zywel - I added you. He was active 4 days ago, but it's good to have more than one person available.

AuroraAri - Sorry, I was a little quick with processing the request. I don't really know exactly how I should ideally be handling cases for games with the moderator has no run of the game. I really have no idea if the user submitted the request and then spent 30 seconds on the board. When a user who runs the game submits a reasonable change request for a board where the moderator(s) has/have no run, I usually give them moderator because it generally makes more sense than the current situation where the moderator has no run and is making the rules.

I don't exactly have the time to go through potentially 3+ day turnarounds with PMs on various sites every time someone has a request in this thread. I generally try to use all the information available at the time to make a reasonably quick decision. Twitter messages aren't private and I do not really like using my personal Twitter for this purpose. Twitch messages get sent to the spam box 50%+ of the time. Admittedly this would be easier if our speedrun.com PM implementation was completed.

EDIT: Also site integrated forms for moderation requests that go through the moderators first might be useful, but it would need some planning.

Good day. I'd like to be a mod for the Fallout Series. I don't think the current mod Jellycatz is completely inactive but he was online 1 week ago which is a lot even for this not so popular game.

Have you contacted Jellycatz before anything ?

Well, however, he has Twitch. Even if the PM message system from Twitch sucks, you should give that a try :)

Hello, I have submitted a run for the Beavis and Butt-head SNES game and it is yet to be approved. I see there is one moderator for the game section specifically, is there a way to become a mod for that game section or do I just wait until they decide to approve it? Thanks.

Considering neonstreetlight is the only mod, I don't see any problem in having another mod.

I would like to become a mod for the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series. There's currently one mod, who hasn't done anything with the series since his single submitted run, three months ago. I can't submit my runs until the appropriate categories are added.

[quote=AuroraAri] I'd like to respond to the change in moderation in Long Live the Queen, requested by Thehealbus. I realize that nobody in particular "owns" these leaderboards, but it was a bit of a shock to realize I wasn't moderating a game anymore. [/quote] I'm happy to add you as a moderator if you speedrun the game.

Hey, I was wondering if I could become a mod in Castlevania 64 since I have been the most active with the game for quite some time. I tried to talk to Cosmo about it a couple weeks ago, but I didn't get a reply.

http://www.speedrun.com/2048_game Kappa I think mod of this game will not come again. Last online 3 months ago, twitter is broken. I don't want so badly to be the mod of this game because moderation is perfect: runs are submitting instantly. Actually, all i need is "iOS" platform in the "Device" list.

For the last month or so I've tried to submit new times for Rygar but have not been updated, at first i thought maybe the mod didn't notice new submissions but then I noticed a new time added for a totally new runner. It wouldn't hurt to have more than one mod for the game anyway.

¤Edit¤ I'm going to assume he really just didn't notice till now because he did just add in my newest time. Still probably wouldn't hurt for more than one mod tho just in case something like this happens to someone else.

Btw, Jellycatz still offline (2 weeks). I tried to contact with him via Twitch but he didn't respond on my message. I think he didn't watch Twitch too.
