Request leaderboard moderation (Read the first post before posting!)

Hello everyone, It's been 21 days since I get the confirmation to my first run. Since that, I've uploaded a run by a week ago and a more recent (faster) one today. None of the two has been verified.

I have tried to contact the moderator but he hasn't responded.

@Liv Have you heard back?

Western Australia, Australia

I am requesting a moderator position over at The Sims 4 https://www.speedrun.com/ts4

Of the 6 moderators it has, only 1 is currently active. If given the chance to moderate this section, I would add several new boards and verify new runs on an almost daily bases. I myself currently hold several #1 rankings and a #2 on the board, and have extensive knowledge of the game as I have been playing Sims games since I was young.

Thanks!

@plankboii I've contacted Ty regarding your game requests, he will take a look at your pending runs.

@Varldin Have you tried contacting both moderators through different social media? Both @FrogPope and @Sora-Aruzaky seem to be active and there aren't any pending runs. I will also attempt to reach the moderators regarding your request and give them a few days to respond.

Edit: I've got in contact with Sora and he seems in favor of adding you to the leaderboard. Because Flub seems to be highly inactive with no contacts, added.

@DemataPyro Could you provide us a run of the requested games? We do not necessarily want to add moderators to a game who we can not verify has any connection to the game.

@Malka89 The moderators aren't considered inactive (last logged in 2 minutes ago) and your run isn't pending for 21 days yet, so please give them some time to review your run.

@KLucius Have you tried reaching out to the current moderators regarding your request and concerns? There is also a Discord server linked to The Sims Speedrunning server you could join.

@Seydie The other active runner (polarbearswag19) tried contacting Sora a few weeks ago off site and got no response from what I was told. https://www.speedrun.com/sustl/thread/7icqp there is also this post which has not been responded to in 20 days which should help prove my point that despite approving runs, Sora doesn't actually participate in the boards (which currently is an issue because we have new glitches discovered, want to make new categories, rewrite some rules etc.), Frog has also not responded to either discord or twitch in the last 30+ days since I sent them a message.

@Varldin My edit and your reply might have passed each other. You've been added as moderator, see the message above your reply.

Yeah I believe so. Thank you!

@KLucius Please forward your request to the other moderators. This thread is specifically meant as a last resort for moderation requests when moderators are highly inactive or can't be contacted. One of the super moderators seem to have replied in the forums just now, and there are 2 other regular moderators who aren't considered inactive.

Would it be possible to be added as a moderator for https://www.speedrun.com/Evil_Dead_A_Fistful_of_Boomstick , please? The current moderator doesn't respond to messages, and hasn't been online for 3 years. Thank you for your time.

Not sure if they are inactive but this is the logest its taken for me to get a run up https://www.speedrun.com/rivals-of-aether

@MarkChurchill In order, added.

@BeXx Please contact one of the mods there before posting here as this thread is last resort only.

@Daravae Thank you very much indeed.

@II3URNZ Seems to check out, I added you to the board as moderator in their place.

Hello, I'd like to request being made mod for the game Hot Wheels: Extreme Racing https://www.speedrun.com/hwer , as it currently only has one mod that hasn't logged into the site in over 8 months, I have 2 runs pending for it (one of them almost a month old) and they won't respond on twitter while their account is generally active.

Hello, I would like to request being made mod/supermod for Bloons Tower Defense https://www.speedrun.com/Bloons_Tower_Defense, Current mod accepted a "cheated" run, and since he's busy most of the time, i'd like to take over.

Hello there, I submitted a run on https://www.speedrun.com/Saint_Seiya_Soldiers_Soul three month ago now, but the game moderator (https://www.speedrun.com/user/DarthSanic) has been away for more than a month. I already tried to contact the game moderator a few times, but no answers were given to me. Here is my run : Hoping you could help me, thanks for reading my request.

I would like to request that the leaderboard moderation of "Ghost Rider" gets passed to Anutim. The only moderator of the game accepted a fake run (which is 3 minutes long, in a game that takes 1h+), with a modified screenshot of the in game time as "proof", as a joke, and after Anutim (who is actually running the game) called it out, the moderator, the person who posted the fake run, and their group of friends started to sarcastically make a joke out of him. Maybe this was fun in kindergarten, but unnacceptable from moderators of this website. Thread in question: https://www.speedrun.com/ghost_rider/thread/iw8lp/1#zqk0k

Edit: In case everything gets deleted, everything was screenshotted. "epicdudeguy" is not fit to moderate any of the leaderboards he is a mod of, since any of the games he is moderating has a chance of becoming his little "joke fake runs playground" at any point.

Well, like I said, everything deleted. "it was a meme lololol" https://i.imgur.com/xQkGalf.png We all have fun with silly categories, but of legit speedruns. I don't want to be on a site where it's ok to make joke leaderboards of fake speedruns.

@Daxtear Seems fine, added.

@Gerbungis According to the game queue over there, there hasn't been a single run submitted since April and only recently has there been any pending for a few days (which the moderator seems to also been gone a few days) but this isn't grounds for removal. I also recommending trying to reach out to them somehow and making another thread over there regarding the cheated run, its possible they just let it slip through.

@MAISQUELHOMME Seems fine, but before I add you to the game I recommend adding at least another contact method under your account.

@Spec3x Looks like the moderator cleared out the runs and straighten up, I agree with you that we have a zero tolerance policy for people submitting not only fake runs but also allowing such runs onto the site. Let us know if this comes up again.

Request to become moderator of the 1999 puzzle game Pandora's box: https://www.speedrun.com/Pandoras_Box

  • My WR run was submitted over 1 month ago. (My first WR run was submitted at an earlier date but dummy me edited the submission instead of submitting a new run each time, so only the latest run counts.)
  • Mod was last logged on 3 months ago.
  • I tried contacting the mod on twitter where he is active (had to tweet since private messaging is turned off). I tweeted him on 21st of july and he has not responded but has been active on twitter everyday since my tweet.
