Leaderboards moderation requests thread
9 years ago
Texas, USA

Hi, I would like to moderate shinobi 3. I am one of the top runners for this game. I have contacted the current moderators for this game to ask what the rules were for this game. One of the moderators responded and told me what the rules were but they will not define them on the shinobi 3 page. As it stands the shinobi 3 rules are undefined. If I am granted moderator I can then input the rules that were given to me by one of the moderators onto the shinobi 3 page for newcomers that are needing to know the rules that way they will no longer have to contact anyone and ask. Thank you.

@Jesse_Porter : I added you as a mod.

First i was like "wtf this guy is saying, he never contacted me". But yeah, now i know. Thanks to twitch your message has arrived in the "spam" section of my inbox... whatever, problem solved! :)

@Garl_Memory That is a common problem with contacting people over Twitch. There's an option to disable the spam box for people who aren't flooded with PMs constantly.

Is it a plausible request to replace the head mod for the Metal Gear MSX leaderboards for implementing arbitrary rules without discussing it with the rest of the runners? There are better ways to handle this, but instead he's effectively removed half the runs because of this "rule".

Edit: NEVERMIND. It has been resolved. New mods. tyty.

jawibae: There was apparently discussion on the forums.

puchiedarcy: I'll jump here and add you because I know you're correct and the situation is kind of messy. I sent him a PM.

slowfreq: (Neverball) Please try discussing it with the active mod first.

plumato: I'll add you because the current mod doesn't have any runs on the site and I'm not really a fan of not requiring any level of verification. (Should we even still support this option?)

Jesse_Porter: They added you apparently.

darthbuckethead: Discuss it on the game's forum please, we didn't change anything here.

Beardy: It's taken care of.

can someone please verify my world record ANY% run for Just Cause 2?

here is the link to the run: http://www.speedrun.com/run/7z0rreez

the only moderator for Just Cause 2, http://www.speedrun.com/user/GrandTheftWalrus , has not been online in over 2 weeks, and I have now waited 6 days for my run to be verified. My previous world record ANY% run was verified almost instantly.

im not sure if this is the right place to post this or if im doing this properly, but im getting rather frustrated at this point.

if it really comes down to it, can i be a moderator for Just Cause 2? i dont know if verifying my own runs on here is against the rules, but i seem to be the only person who actively speed runs Just Cause 2, and have been the world record holder for ANY% for the past 6 months. I'm trying to build a community behind Just Cause 2 speed runs, so having my run verified is relatively vital to accomplishing this.

@trunk_slamchest Have you tried contacting GrandTheftWalrus? This thread is meant as a last resort.

@ROMaster His YouTube is fake, his speedrunslive is empty, and his twitch says no past broadcasts. He also has not been on this site in 2 weeks.

The minimum time before anyone should even post here is 3 weeks. This is a last resort thread for a reason. However, if that is true and trunk_slamchest has at least made an attempt to contact him, then he'll probably replace him.

@ROMaster2 i messaged him on twitch today before posting here and have not heard back from him. I cannot send messages on here because i get the "Sorry, this isnt ready yet." message. as MarioManTAW stated, his youtube link is dead, his SRL profile is empty and his twitch profile has no past broadcasts. that is why i posted here.

i dont want to come across the wrong way as ive been contacted by GrandTheftWalrus before and dont want to forcibly remove him from his moderator position.

i apologize for not waiting the required 3 weeks, as i was not aware of the time restriction, but given the scenario and the amount of time, effort, and energy i have put into speed running JC2 over the last 2 years...i felt that 1 week has been more than enough time to go to, as you put it, my last resorts.

if i was able to contact GrandTheftWalrus, i would have and kept this matter private. if you really want me to wait before posting in this thread, then delete my posts and ill simply post the same thing again in 2 weeks if the problem persists.

United States

@trunk_slamchest If you have tried to contact him, then your request is valid. The 3 week requirement is there to deter people from being impatient and making sure they've tried to contact the mods before jumping to their position. Once an admin gets on I'm sure you'll replace him.

I wasn't trying to come off as hostile; there's been an awful lot of requests with people not willing to wait. I get being frustrated when your run has been a long time, I've had that problem before too.

@ROMaster2 i completely understand where youre coming from. ive spent alot of time admining and moderating forums myself, so i know how important rules/regulations are when it comes to communities, especially for something like speed running.

again, i dont want to just oust GrandTheftWalrus from his position because there could be 1000 different reasons he has gone afk. id much rather be added to the moderation staff for JC2 than replace him if that is possible.

alot of people told me to speak to Nord, who from what i believe oversees all of the Just Cause games in the franchise, so before anything id like to get incontact with him.

Hi,

I'd like to be a mod (or even a super mod) for the game called "Chibi Knight". I've suggested some changes in the forum of the game months ago. I got no answer since then. The mods of that game haven't been online for the last 4 weeks. Also, there are no ways to communicate with them. Could I become a super mod of that game ?

Be careful you don't assume that because there are no past broadcasts, that they aren't active on Twitch. I've never streamed before, but I'll generally answer all Twitch PMs quickly.
