I don't fault you for not reading that entire paragraph (just my assumption ;) :D ), but it seems that he has given up the argument:
"i am indeed wasting time typing here for nothing and for that, i am going to play all this games again, either you people accept it or not either you ban or you dont starting right now. and i will start with USFIV"
I look forward to seeing the results.
@kobepilgrim yeah tbh i kinda gave up after reading like 3/4 of the posts about it. Kappa
And yeah same, can't wait to see the results. Gonna be fun.
Guys, I just want my Mortal Kombat X run submitted. If I have to wait another 13 days til u guys can take action then Id rather move on to something else.
Im not asking to be a mod, I just want my run accepted.
(the only mod hasnt logged in since the day I submitted the run. I shouldnt have to wait 3 weeks JUST to have my run potentially accepted. How the hell am I supposed to make progress by posting a run every 3 weeks? /rant)
I know.
Its more a personal thing. Some runners are motivated to beat their own times. Im motivated visually by seeing my name AMONG others. If im racing myself then whats the point.
Its demotivating for me. It just sucks when, as it stands, im basically waiting up to 2 weeks for my run to maybe be accepted. It just feels like a pain in the ass system. I should just be able to submit a run and have it accepted.
Didn't the PANICOREPT situation occur after his runs had been accepted?
I don't mean to downplay your point, but the specific example may not hold up.
Personal things are just that: personal. You either work it out, or you manage the consequences. Realize that you're not racing yourself. It just happens to be taking longer for your results to be posted on the board. The board still exists. Your time still exists. In the meantime, if you submit more times, then they should all eventually be accepted. At that point, you'll have even more obsolete runs to compare your PB to (I am personally intrigued by seeing all of my past, obsolete PBs and seeing my progression in that way, not necessarily compared to others). And so what, if you're racing yourself? If you need to be racing others to enjoy a game, then find a situation that better suits your disposition. There are many runners on this site who are the sole runner of a game that they play, yet they continually pursue improvement. What's the point of anything in this world, if not personal growth?
I'm not commenting on your thoughts about the "system" itself, only on your emotional reaction to your runs not being accepted--your first paragraph, rather than the second paragraph and your overall mod request.
WhoIsThisKid: Mirror's Edge games have moderators. While the series does only have one, I'm sure some of the current game moderators could help out if there was an inherent need for more people. Most moderators on the site aren't looking to add moderators that don't have runs of the games.
CriscoWild: At a basic level: Set up the categories and rules in a sensible manner and approve runs in an objective manner. Other user's posts give more detail.
Nemz38: The game has 6 moderators, please discuss it with them as they have the ability to add you. (I think you're able to add (or maybe submit?) guides just by having a run of the game. I'm actually not 100% sure how it's set up.)
NeverSeenIt: It looks like your original post was deleted, can't exactly respond.
Shade667: Site staff generally doesn't process runs for games. Generic guideline for moderator inactivity is ~3 weeks. Please note, you can have multiple runs submitted at the same time.
NightmareGameZ: I don't see any runs by you for the games, so it seems a bit out of place.
therealbmanbeast: Looks like it was added. Feel free to discuss being added as a mod with the current moderator.
Token: Thanks.
YW1: Almost missed the question. Small game, you have a run, it's relatively inactive, ok.
Raidenthequick: Added, removed the user since he was inactive a year.
Is it possible to request for a super moderator become a regular one? I was the one who created the page for the game and would like to lower their privileges. I feel he shouldn't deserve the super moderator role and I gave it to him before truly knowing him. The moderator in question is MBA_MIST and from the Ninja Gaiden II page.

To tack onto the post above, there should be a owner/leader for each board. There could only be one per board, but they have full reign over the mods/super mods in case something needs to be done. If a person wished to relinquish their leadership they would just tag another as a leader, the user would be demoted and the other leader would be promoted.
The Mod http://www.speedrun.com/user/PocketSword/info Has been inactive for over 6 months, and is a mod for Call of Duty Black ops Zombies.
Hi, so I submited a run (The Sims 2) 8 days ago and since then it hasn't been verify. One admin was online 12 months ago and other 17 days. I don't know what to do so can someone verify my run, or make me a mod?
I request a change for the leaderboard moderation of Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories ( http://www.speedrun.com/Yu-Gi-Oh_Forbidden_Memories ). Rules, categories, and simple things such as shortening the game's URL, are completely outdated, the moderation has always neglected community-favored decisions in favor of their personal preferences. Not only that, but the "moderation" actually comes down to only one person - Mergy - who is very likely a cheater.
Here's a breakdown of this game's moderation team:
- Mergy, who has recently been acused of cheating with very solid evidence, has been the only person who makes decisions in this leaderboard, and all of them prioritizing his or GFC's personal interest, disregarding the community. He can't even be banned right now because he actually controls the leaderboards, even though there's a very, very, very high chance that he has speedran using romhacks.
- GFC is only temporarily out because of a ragequit from a previous drama. He pretty much responds to Mergy's wishes every single time as well.
- Kollin7 is just there for shows, since he does nothing. Considering this game's popularity, it's unconceiveable that the leaderboard is in the hands of only ONE person - who, again, is very likely to be a cheater - and two other people who are blindly colluding with him at all times.
My suggestions for the new moderation team (all super moderators): SSBMStuff, elvencloud, theurnator, gcah2006, megamegalomane92
I'm linking this post to other people from the FM community, even if we disagree on issues within the game, the leaderboards NEED a reform ASAP.
First of all, I don't know how you got the idea that I do "nothing" considering I'm the prime person that reviews submissions, and responds to forum posts.
Secondly, we are still planning to discuss what to do about the Mergy situation as a community. You really jumped the gun on this post.
Should someone start a dedicated thread on the FM forums, with detailed explanation of what happened, so everyone can express their opinion on the subject ? This would be a much better way to handle things as it would allow for every party to express their opinion, and would actually keep a detailed and written archive of what people in the community think about this in a single thread, rather than on several Discord servers that aren't public.
After a consensus is found, a new post would be posted in this thread with the list of whoever is going to moderate.
I'm not the one who would start that thread, aside from reverse-engineering the game I'm not involved in the FM community :P
