How do you know if you haven't tried. You're throwing accusations around you have no basis for.

I don't understand, if you said yourself it's not been very long since you had originally submitted the run don't you think you're being a little impatient about it? What if he's busy? Things happen and verifying a run that long isn't a walk in the park

how about you wait and calm down, your run will most likely be verified way before kirkq answer your message anyway.(also i doubt you would get mod, no offence).

Yes, and I'm usually on every 2 to 3 hours, but I only check the forums during most of those times. Just because we're online doesn't mean we have to go through everything. Your last submission may have been lucky. We all have lives, mods are all volunteers, and sometimes we don't have the time to do everything.

@ILoveSMB ok, so if one of your run is approved within 30 mins of submission then every other runs should be approved just as quick? that's not how it work buddy.

its called having patience, something you might be lacking.

Im not gonna get involved any further than to say you shouldn't just submit something your own way in the first place without first having absolute confirmation that the mod is okay with it and do I know what's going on and looked at the forums to see myself

Hey, I want to ask if you could transfer ownership of the TLoZ: Twilight Princess page to me. I am a community mod since forever and responsible for the pages on Zeldaspeedruns, also I "own" TPHD here.

The original owner of TPSRC, Faye, sadly isn't involved in speedrunning anymore, she hasn't logged into her account for 5 months or so and didn't react to my message on Twitter. She is also not involved in our Discord, where we discussed the matter (with several other mods for TP here involved). There we agreed on making me Owner if possible.

Thanks in advance, if you have any questions feel free.

Hey, could you remove Nichdel as a super mod since he has been inactive for over a year now. http://www.speedrun.com/slime_rancher I am the only one verifying runs. Thank you.

On the topic of the NewerSMBW leaderboard:

ILoveSMB recently submitted a time which was adjusted to account for timeloss through loading zones. A couple threads came up about how this was done, how it should be handled. I observed the discussion, but was somewhat lax about participating. Maybe a mistake on my part. The reason why I delayed my response and verification was because I was trying to consider alternate ways to handle the situation. I didn't want to completely ignore it, but I can't implement a flawed comparison into the leaderboard.

Additionally, I believe ILoveSMB should not be added as a moderator in the event that he would alter the rules without sufficient critical observation of the change.

Finally, some food for thought. If speedrunning is solely about improving ourselves, what is the importance of a leaderboard?

Thank you.

lagupediabaru: I don't know what this means.

hi_im_airman: Added due to inactivity.

NekohDot: Site staff adds full mods, admittedly we're pretty short on active staff right now. Full mods can do 95% of what admins can do.

snes_fanatic: We try to get to requests within 2 weeks lately. It's been a bit slow lately.

SailorMercury: I'll add you in this specific case because I think organizing the boards better will help things.

Jumpyluff: If f1 says he wants to, I'll add it.

SoakedSock: Since this game has no runs and the moderator is inactive, this is fine.

SGT_RAGEQUIT: Your request might've been one of the 3 that got deleted by a bug that were not recoverable. I still don't know what the game was, so I need to know to create it. This thread was stickied for a while: http://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/8wj39 If it's in the game request queue it's in pending actions: http://www.speedrun.com/SGT_RAGEQUIT/pendingactions Sorry for the trouble.

Mrowka: It looks like mods were added by the current mod.

Royal64: There are 1-2 active mods; in this case going through the moderators is the main course of action.

snes_fanatic: I'd recommend doing runs of some games before moderating anything.

Racingmonster: Regarding NASCAR: One of the mods is active, try to sort this out with them first please.

ROMaster2: Lots of clicks later, ok

BiSaXa: I added a runner based on some forum posts.

ROMaster2: Sent a PM to a user to try to sort this out. Splitting by console might work best here.

ILoveSMB: Adding a user who is in disagreement with moderators isn't really going to solve anything. The mods seem pretty rational to me, so please try to sort this out with them. Not everyone's out to deny runs and not everyone's required or expected to verify all the runs every time they visit the site.

TreZc0: There's really no concept of "owner" of the page as far as the site code is concerned. The super mods collectively "currently own it" in a sense. There's just the person who created it, which is kind of just for informational purposes. I think this is what you're asking? Maybe I'm missing something.

LoneLynx: Ok, inactive.

sergiofonseca: Run pending, mod inactive, ok.

GhostScit: Added.

I'd like to request moderation of My Nintendo Picross - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The current moderator has been inactive for over a month, and I tried to contact him over twitch and waited for 3 days, to no avail.

United States

He was active 10 hours ago on Twitter. Should shoot him a message there.

@kirkq Thank you, i was probably wrong thinking there's a difference in between the page creator and a super mod cause I thought the page creator could always remove Super Mods too (for inactivity f.e.) which I can't, but okay, I probably messed up then. Thank you!
