GG to mods that verify

Just to hop in this thread real quick - I think we can all forget about the arguments about whether or not the mods are good because everything is either agreed upon or no headway is being made. I think it's clear that all Darpey wants at this point is a way for faster run verification, his method for which doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't seem to be controversial, and the rest of the arguments are useless at this point. To Darpey, I know it's frustrating, but I'd urge you not to reply to the arguments that you're being unfair to the mod team because it'll just keep going in circles. To any mods that have been a part of this thread, I can basically say the same - the best way to deal with the argument is just by addressing Darpey's main point. The one argument I don't get is the argument against Darpey's point - even if there is not a large chance that adding other mods strictly for verification will help, there is no harm, so isn't a little bit of help better than nothing?

It would be cool if the mods added verifiers to help with the queue but there is one annoying thing about verifiers, they can't edit runs. I've had experiences in being a verifier and reviewing a run that had a time that was off. I find it really annoying that verifiers can't at least edit times since that is really important, especially in some cases where the run is optimized and the time needs to be accurate. In the cases where the run isn't optimized and the runner at least submitted a run with the accurate time in minutes and seconds then verifiers would help but if the run is optimized and their retime isn't accurate then you can't really do much other then message a mod or reject the run and tell them to resubmit the same run with the accurate time. If they made it so that verifiers could at least edit runs then they would be a lot more useful. This probably doesn't matter since I don't see the mods adding verifiers anyway but the point is that it won't really help as much as it could if they could edit runs.

Agreed. But even so, that's not a reason NOT to add verifiers. That's just a reason for why you should add new mods INSTEAD OF verifiers.

The point of that post was to say that they should add mods over verifers. I forgot to say that but that is what I meant.
