Holy FUCKING shit Racingmonster. Did you not learn a single thing? This is the reason why people have a distaste for you in this thread and it's why you're not going to be getting mod anytime soon (I hope).

Just a quick interjection before you fine young gents continue on. I try not to get too heavily involved here since it's usually always settled before anyone has to talk but worth saying something anyways.

First off, when requesting moderator status (or in this case probably removal), it's best to link to the game page so as a site moderator can simply click the link, much easier to see what is going on (and more accurate, some games have close names such as the billion Kingdom hearts games lol).

For instance, you would add this link -> http://www.speedrun.com/r6_siege

Secondly, Wolexi is an "active" moderator for the game, at least according to the site he was last logged on today. So, ultimately he's the person to attempt to contact as the others haven't been on for months at a time. This is kind of the danger of having super mods, I myself had to request inactive moderators to be removed since they were also super mods, though I'm not sure about the "formal" way to request mod removal.

Thirdly, and this is a major point, but none of these 3 mods for the game have social media links. They each have twitch (which has a terrible PM system), a youtube for 2 of them I think (which also is terrible), and finally one has a steam. Nearly every one of those are not even reliable ways of contacting (unless Steam has a message system that goes around friend requests, i don't know never got too into it).

I would highly recommend doing your best to get into contact with Wolexi and request to be a moderator as he's the person to talk to instead of the site admins first and foremost. Once you (if he adds you) become a moderator, then I'd say you could request removal of modship status for inactive moderators.

In the off chance that he didn't get back to you, this would be the thread to go to. Not judging based on anything, but the first page of this thread gives guidelines on this subject.

I'm not a site mod but I figured i'd chime in before the thousandth racingmonster thread spree gets too heated.

I would like to request to be a moderator of Blockland. The only mod has been inactive for months and has not added categories for new game updates. Link here: http://www.speedrun.com/Blockland_Retail

@eddiecatgaming I'm pretty sure SMB does not need anymore mods. Being a mod means nothing special honestly.

Doesn't sound like a last resort. Popular game with plenty of very active mods, and one already told you no. No reason at all to add you.

Gallamaster, kirkq is the one that decides what action to take in the end, I was just explaining why they aren't going to be getting mod for SMB. Usually the forum is checked every week or two, so you won't have to wait too long.

Resident Evil HD Remaster has too many mods (all supermods unfortunately), including three of them that are completely inactive and have never verified a run, nor participate in the leaderboard decisions for over a year and a half now.

http://www.speedrun.com/remaster

Those three mods are Eleval, TheMixedHerb and sshplur. I created a thread in the game leaderboard forum three months ago asking the inactive mods to please remove themselves as mods, but seeing as those three rarely ever log into the website or look at the leaderboard, nothing happened. Could those mods please be removed?

Thank you.

@Drakodan @Bullets Not to get involved and putting all the salt Racing has done aside for a moment he has the most runs for the Call of Duty Series not just that he is one of the most active runner for a long time for pretty much every Cod game. Also the Call of duty series normally gets new games every year and if he is one of the only people who make guides/runs/video strats for both older and newer games of the series I feel that he knows enough to become a mod for the series.

Don't think you meant to tag me.

@TARS every decision is all up to the mods/supermods of the series.

My request to become a series mod for the Lego series still stands - I have still had no response from NintendoBlackCrisis for the tweet I sent to them over a month ago, the entire time they have been inactive.

JosephH seems to have been active over the past few days on the site, though he had been inactive for the two weeks before that, and is still dead on all forms of social media,

Requesting mod rights for the Abadox leaderboard - http://www.speedrun.com/Abadox

I submitted a run on Dec. 7. I reached out to him a week ago via a friend of his on Facebook (as far as I can tell he doesn't have a twitch or twitter account) requesting mod access and have not received a response. Per his profile he was last online on SR.com 5 months ago.

Thanks!
