Leaderboards moderation requests thread

Hi, I've requested the Battle Arena Toshinden series and two BAT games.

You gave me the moderator role in both games (as it was expected and it's already configured and with uploaded runs), but I don't have the moderator role for the series: https://www.speedrun.com/battle_arena_toshinden_series

Thanks!

cheating: Still going to wait on this. I didn't read everything, so we can look at it next pass.

zoNE: I'll go ahead and just add you since the users are highly inactive and you have a long-pending run. (I also find the site not having PMs to be a pile of garbage, but that's probably beside the point at the moment.)

T1redMonkey: The mods are active, please discuss it with them. I bumped one of them up to super mod.

Tron_Javolta: Bumped you up

SloaTheDemon: This seems fine based on their activity/relative consensus.

davidwiki8: The users are excessively inactive, so I'm fine with making this change.

MegaVortex: Mod has been inactive a while and you have a lot of approved runs, ok.

TheGreenViper8: In general series don't necessarily require mods, since games can be requested through the game request form. Is there some consensus between some of the mods of those games? We could look into this more, but right now you're essentially nominating yourself. We'd like some consensus by other moderators if they think this is a good idea.

yoshifruit/Otterstone_Gamer: I'm not adding you guys to games you don't have runs of. From my perspective you were making things up last request to try to convince us to mod you on more things.

Rayquaza911: Generally we wouldn't retroactively enforce, but in this specific case I think it's beneficial to have another moderator since there is only one with no socials and you already mod a bunch of NES games.

boundingrey: I'll add you for the specific game you have a run of for now.

Léone: Mods are highly inactive, okay.

Exgert: Please discuss it with the existing moderators, they are active.

Maiguels: Got it thanks. There was a bug when adding a series with the same name as a game and I apparently didn't fix everything.

But how am i post become a Moderator.? well i for one don't know so i think moderators are kinda lazy because this is a waste of time and they don't realty sent you a reply or anything, i mean i got my run by a Mod from the leaderboard once but then after that nothing happened when i check my Notifications..! If i was Moderator i would help anyone out but right now its just waiting my time and i think using that so called game request doesn't help no FUCKEN BULLSHIT.!! ?

I'm just so angry now but they should ask my help about this from my gmail so yea that's all i have to say thank you.?

To translate: they submitted a run today and want it verified...

I would like to be added as a mod for the game Ape Out. https://www.speedrun.com/Ape_Out The game released Thursday and I haven't seen an Any % category uploaded yet. The game is still in the state from the past 2 years when the demo released. Both current mods have not been active for at least a month with the other being out for the last 7. I'd like to grow the community around this game and keep the speedrun category as up to date as I can. I'd also like to see an up kept site where I can help others post ILs and work on full runs. Much consideration would be appreciated.

@yoshifruit You realize that Kirkq is an admin while Dangerless is a full mod, correct?

@ShinkenX You submitted your run yesterday (the 2nd), asked in the forums yesterday about the run being verified only 8 hours after posting it, and now have made three posts in here regarding what I presume is the same issue. Firstly, two of the three mods are very active; one of them was on yesterday (the 2nd) and the other on two days ago (the 1st). Secondly, moderators for a game are volunteers and this is not a job - have some patience. If you read the first post as you were supposed to you would realize that inactivity is defined as three weeks - your run has not even been submitted for 24 hours. Finally, you attract more flies with honey than vinegar.

I have preserved ShinkenX's rant here for future comedy. Usually these types of users disappear all to quickly along with their hilarious posts. "waiting..waiting..waiting ..waiting..WAITING..!!" https://pastebin.com/gfKKX1Wm

Hello, sorry for my english but :

I send a run, on Resident Evil 2 ( 2019 ) . I use the glitch with 120 FPS, ONLY on the boss. And my run 's classified on ' 60 fps ' but it's not true. I play with 60 fps except on Boss because i stream, and i have bug when i use more FPS.

I hope you understand my bad english. Thank you :)

ShinkenX: The site's games have users who volunteer to moderate for each game. They do it in their free time and we typically give them at least 3 weeks to handle run submissions. Some people might only check the site on weekends for example. Generally someone demanding moderator in the way you're currently doing would not make a very good person to put in charge of a board. If you would take a break from swearing and being angry, I think you would find that we're generally reasonable people to discuss things with.

qwerf: I tend to dislike the no game verification option (we've contemplated ways to obsolete it), and the user has low responsiveness/contactability, and games should generally have more than one mod. Given all of that together, I'm fine with adding you. Otherwise, my default answer would generally be talk to the moderator.

Boomdabah: Neither user is really around, so I'll add you.

yoshifruit: I mean that's cool and all, I was just pointing out to my fellow staff member that you and your friend were blatantly making things up to try to get mod on games you don't have runs of. Seemed problematic to me so I was just letting him know.

NeylioFR: Could you discuss this on the game forum, or talk to the moderators: https://www.speedrun.com/re2remake/forum I don't know enough about the game to know how they would want to list the run, otherwise I could make the change.

Hey @kirkq I would like to apologise for my making up all that pending request I made up. Like my Brother @yoshifruit it was something with @Flutter and I was just being a moderator stealer which I shouldn't have done I'm sorry. Also next time I'll make sure I give the moderators time to see if they will verify the run.

@kirkq let me know when there is an update about my request. Unfortunately I still haven’t even gotten a reply from the current (and only) moderator for the section I was asking for (asked on every linked social media in their profile). The +3 months absence have slightly worried me for the previous days.

Hi, I was wondering if I could be added as a moderator for Sunset Overdrive? https://www.speedrun.com/sunset_overdrive

I have been doing runs in the community since the game was created, and it seems the current mods don't check the site too frequently (Most recent sign-in was 28 days ago). I've tried reaching out to one of the mods on Youtube, but have not yet received a response. (Most mods twitter accounts do not exist or are not recently used, and most twitch accounts have not streamed in 8+ months)

Requesting to remove S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl super mod from https://www.speedrun.com/user/K_Dumsky because he doesn’t perform duties of super mod for 3 years since he submit first run and he doesn’t care about community. Attempts to solve this problem personally were not successful, because he doesn’t want to come a common decision and limited to verbal abusing.

Hello! I was wondering if maybe I could be added as moderator for https://www.speedrun.com/Tadpole_Treble ? I submitted a run a couple of weeks ago, but the only moderator hasn't been online in over a year. I've tried contacting him on other sites with no luck. Thanks!

EDIT: Oh, he did finally reply so it's not as important now, lol.

Hi, I would like to take over https://www.speedrun.com/ROBLOX_Flee_The_Facility as a super mod because the mod is 3 months inactive. I don't know how I would contact them on twitch. I also have a pending run that I might have sent twice and also maybe another run. Thanks!
