Hi! I have posted a run for The Incredible Hulk for Snes almost a month ago and it still hasnt been verified! I have checked and the moderator for that game (RantronBomb) has been inactive for at least a month. I have tried contacting him on Twitch, Twitter and Discord with no success! I would like to apply to be added as a moderator for that game. I feel like being the WR holder for that game makes me qualified enough to moderate it.

Thank you for your consideration and heres the link for the game in question! https://www.speedrun.com/the_incredible_hulk_snes_genesis

Have a great day.

@Daravae You had no problems before about it prior and told me to do something about the current runs needing verification. And now doing a 180 and saying it doesn't need one is ridiculous. There should be at least one for the series. I got word someone plans to do runs for one of the older games. Sure it may not be popular like Mario or Zelda games but that doesn't mean no one should be series mod. And you even said one of them has been inactive for years. I'm pretty active and check nearly every day because of course some things may happen IRL to prevent a day. But I try to be active.

Good night. I am one of the runners of the game Pocahontas (Genesis) and wanted to request, if possible, the moderation of it. I needed to appeal to this post because the current moderator of the game is absent (does not respond on Twitter, does not respond on YouTube and does not respond on Discord). I know that it is necessary to wait at least 3 weeks for the race to be verified, but I believe that a faster check will encourage the riders even more so that they continue to run the game. It is very disheartening when you are in the race and there is this delay in checking, which in some cases is more than 3 weeks. I fully understand that the verification is voluntary and that the moderator in question does so when possible, but in my case I believe I would be able to do the checks in a much shorter period than the current one, especially in Pocahontas where there are few less so far, as I know some people who might be interested in running the game, and they agreed that a faster check would bring more spirits to them. Anyway, that's it. Forgive me for the great text. Hugs

Hello,

Hope I'm doing this in the right order. I submitted a run for Capcom vs. SNK 2 (https://www.speedrun.com/cvsnk2) about 3 weeks ago and am waiting on verification. I've tried to reach out to 1 of the 2 moderators, one had no means to contact for they only had a YouTube page on their info page. The other I wasn't able to contact via. Twitter, but I did try to reach out to him on Twitch on Friday (05-17-2019), but not have since received a reply. If you need any more information please let me know, and I will provide any more info required.

I'll provide a link to my run, thank you for your time.

oi, I did a run 20 days ago for the game Orbt XL. Currently theres only one moderator going by the name of Loliu (https://www.speedrun.com/user/Loliu), he is inactive for 10 months now and there is no way contacting him in any way. D : I play this game since over a year now and am even on the global top 200 highscorers. I wouldn't mind moderating the game, but if my run gets verified I'm totally happy with that ^^'

thank you in advance :3

I would like to request moderation of:

Hovercraft: takedown ( https://www.speedrun.com/Hovercraft_takedown ) One of the moderators (Dracaarys) needed extra mods (and i volunteered) but he couldn't add me since he's only a normal mod. The only current super mod @Antman2BYT ( https://www.speedrun.com/user/Antman2BYT ) has not been online for 3 months and when i tried to add him on discord ( so i can message him) this happened ( https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/377268230646923267/579602897558306826/unknown.png ), so there is no way of contact

Also i would like to request moderation of the hovercraft series in general ( https://www.speedrun.com/hovercraft ) The first moderator of the series is @Antman2BYT, and as i mentioned above there is no way to contact him. The second moderator @Mamacita ( https://www.speedrun.com/user/Mamacita/info ) despite not been a super mod, has not logged into the site in a year. I have runs in both games {my "hovercraft - build fly retry" runs are still pending [i have about 7 runs pending] (example: https://www.speedrun.com/Hovercraft_-_build_fly_retry/run/yj3j107z ) }

Kinda unrelated to me but on "hovercraft - build fly retry" ( https://www.speedrun.com/Hovercraft_-_build_fly_retry ) The super mods are: Antman2BYT (problems listed above) and the other one is @strawberrydog ( https://www.speedrun.com/user/strawberrydog/info ) (has not been online in 11 months). So could you make @Dracaarys a super mod? ( and maybe remove the two current super mods) so he can add more people if he wants to, since currently there is no possible way of doing that.

I was wondering if you guys could maybe help me out with removing a couple of the mods from Cars: Mater-National, those being Paynecars and NASCARrules33. They have been inactive for quite a while and they both are not wanting to continue speedrunning the game, so they have no need to be moderators of the leaderboards anymore.

I've been waiting 2 weeks for my run to be verified in https://www.speedrun.com/SMB_and_Legend_of_Mega_Koopa , a SMB rom hack.

The moderator, ReverseDmitry, has not been online in 2 months. He has no contact info available, so I don't know a way to contact him.

He also has seemed to neglect his responsibility as a moderator, as the rules just link the rom download, which is already in the resources.

Can I please be added as a mod for https://www.speedrun.com/Monster_Party ? One mod has not signed in for 7 months, and the other for 2 months. I've had a pending run submitted for 2 months.

Thanks!

Need to raise a couple of mod issues re The Unholy War: https://www.speedrun.com/The_Unholy_War

-Asked Kirmilfaul to verify a few runs from his Twitter link last week, and pointed out that a time submitted by the other mod on one of their own runs is incorrect. That mod has now been off site for 6 months with no way to contact. The run has not had its time corrected.

-Mentioned to K that his Discord name shown on his profile here does not work. Have not received any communication from him in any channel, he has now removed the Twitter contact.

NB: runs I submitted do not have a timer in-vision.

Today some runs were verified, but others were rejected, reason "timer was not used, incorrect timing". All videos of runs in this category show one time on their header, and another time where they have been verified, including K's own run. Given these inconsistencies I do not feel it is appropriate to reject runs on that basis.

Other runs have been rejected with the reason "obsolete". Some of these are slower times I had submitted earlier, not the end of the world (although Good Mod Guide thread advised me no run should be rejected for anything other than gameplay). However, one of them in a category nobody had yet run, and I cannot see any reason for rejecting it - there are runs in Mayhem mode which feature it as a separate category (playing as the opposite army) where times do not obsolete each other.

@chocolatecake5000 Mod is inactive for 5 months and you have a run pending for about 3 weeks, seems okay. Added.

@Zheitgeist Mod is offline for over a year and there are also other runs pending for months. I added you. Could you please take a look at the other pending runs as well?

@Madness According to the Audit Log, you keep deleting your run every day and resubmitting it. Why is that? Please stop doing that if you would like your run to get verified. You should always allow a period of around 3 weeks for your run to get verified.

@Cytruss I upped @Dracaarys to Super for both games. I don't think this series requires moderation so I am gonna skip on that request. I only removed strawberry since he was inactive for almost a year but I left CryoJester intact since he logged in a few days ago. Same with Antman2BYT, its only been 3 months. He could come back. I take it you guys can proceed now.

@Jak8 Mods have not been on in 1 to 2+ years, so I removed them.

@Kid_Gamer I added you. Could you please take a look at the other pending runs as well?

@burst_error Seems fair, I added you.

@petaQ I'll have a look.

@powdersage Run is only pending since yesterday. Have you tried reaching out to the moderator through socials?

Netherlands

@powdersage We are not adding moderators without any social links. You should at least add 2 of those in order to be eligible to become moderator and also, please give the current moderator some time to respond.

Hi. I'd like my runs on the Metroid Prime leaderboard to be removed and prevented from replacement. I asked edzan13 and JustinDM before on Twitch to remove my runs, but nothing has been done. I made a forum post here https://www.speedrun.com/mp/thread/gella asking for the same thing. Nothing has happened.

Yet they continue to verify new runs (such as gdVertigo's on there now). Would somebody please do me a solid and remove my runs? They aren't linked to my account so I can do nothing.
