Hi everyone! We are going through Moderation Changes for the WWZ leaderboard & discord
You might have noticed that some runs have been taking a lot longer than usual to verify, sometimes a week, sometimes up to a month and I'm not satisfied with how long it's taking to verify or implement community needs. Clearly only being 2 moderators isn't enough and so I'd like to add new members to the moderation team to help out when we're too busy to dedicate as much time as needed.
As moderators we reflect the community's needs and provide the leaderboard with what is requested. If you're up to the task and feel like you'd be a valuable addition to the team, then feel free to reply in this channel explaining why you'd like to become a moderator.
As a moderator, it is expected of you to watch and verify runs submitted to the leaderboard. You are expected to be able to use our timing method accurately and edit the submission if the time submitted is wrong. It is required of you to be somewhat knowledgeable of the game and its speedrun so that you can detect any suspicious activity within those submissions. You are also required to have runs of your own verified on the leaderboard in order to qualify for moderation.
Being a moderator doesn't make you special, nor does it grant you power over others. If you're applying keep in mind you're doing so to represent the community as a whole.
Feel free to use this thread to apply for moderation. If you apply I would also ask that you join the WWZ discord since moderators use it to communicate with each other and the community.
The community will vote on who we will add to the moderation team. You can give likes to applications you support in this thread or use reactions on the discord channel to vote.
I am now closing the moderator applications as it has been 10 days and we have 2 suitable candidates
Please welcome Absurd_ & Trombonerist™ to the moderation team!
Thank you so much for offering your help and for dedicating your time to making WWZ speedrunning the best it can be!
Hey all, over the last few days we've been working on retiming the runs on the leaderboard to reflect the new timing rules. If you are unaware, we have changed the timing rules for full episode runs to only include the levels themselves. This effectively removes all lobby, cutscene, and loading time
