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

@Daravae i'm requesting mod. One of the other active mods (buffalax) suggested i become a mod because of my extensive knowledge of the game and my commitment to the categories. i asked the super mods about this request but as i stated they have not been able to be contacted and have been inactive for a long time (one for 6 months the other for a year) its my understanding that mods can not grant mod position, only super mods can correct? sorry if that was not clear in my original post. thanks for your time and have a great day.

@Daravae Here's a link to a speedrun of the game that I just finished:

Side note: When I requested the page for Ether Loop to be created, part of the application, like you said, was to submit a run of the game. So I'm not really sure why the current super mod for Gunfire Reborn can claim the page without a run/any categories. Let me know if you need anything else from me, thanks for the help.

Hello staff of Speedrun,

I am writing to address a very long going issue with a fellow moderator and runner of our small leader board for Blasto found at; https://www.speedrun.com/blasto#Any

I have tried to address and work out all of our issues as a community many times, and have personally talked to and tried to work out the issues with the specific party many times. I have also tried to reach out to the other moderators and runners of the community, however I have only been able to get in touch with one person (SrgtSilent, the only other active runner and he has also stated that the other mods may have him blocked but would try to reach out to them for me) who has also weighed in a good bit on the issue. Unfortunately this other runner feels that his opinions about the game are not valued, I greatly take all of his input, as well as the other runners of the communities input into the consideration. Which brings me up to why I am writing you today sadly, and the reason is I would like to request that the user https://www.speedrun.com/user/ChrissyFordYo is revoked of their super mod privileges as they have continuously abused them, and continuously made big community changes sporadically, without notice completely altering the leaderboards on many occasions.

I have tried talking to them about the accuracy of their timed runs, and tried explaining how to accurately look for the very last frame of input for end timing of RTA. To which their response apparently was this; https://www.speedrun.com/blasto/thread/v5o15/1#w2gom In my response, I simply explained how to time RTA properly for this game, and stated that we will continue to use traditional standard RTA timing as it leaves no discrepancies as for when things should be timed, also it means we don't need to completely change the history of the boards again. The issues of this user constantly changes the leaderboard, coming and going, and making big community decisions without the discussion or consent of the community has been going on for a very long time now, and they have been making a lot of changes today out of no where which is why I am addressing this now. I do not want to ruin the integrity of our boards anymore and I am starting to get very sad and desperate honestly. I had also just told them yesterday that I am going to remove my times and step down from being a super moderator because in the moment I thought it would be easier to not deal with it anymore, and a few hours later they uploaded my NG+ run (from my twitch channel) to the leaderboard without my permission almost seemingly as an effort to again stick it to me.

Whether it is personal or not, I desperately need someone else to help step in. I have started really losing hope, especially only having one other member of the community who thinks his opinion doesn't even matter and it really hurts because I just want to see the community grow, and our leaderboard continue to flourish and look beautiful. I have no idea if there is any way to reverse and undo all of her constant audits but if we could roll back the LB that would actually be amazing as well.

Sorry and thank you for your time. I really put a lot of thought and effort into this, and I really didn't want it to ever come to this but I don't think that I can get anywhere without an imitator of some sort.

EDIT: I can of course provide evidence of these claims, as well as you can check the audit log for the board and see how much the specified parties have altered.

@Daravae As I explained in my previous message, I have been unable to get a response from the current super mod in over a year. He has left the speedrun discord, and we haven't been able to get a response from him on any platform despite him logging into Speedrun within the last month. Requests for rules for the existing any% category have gone unanswered (there are no rules currently) and requests for "All Stages" and other categories have also been ignored.

Hi! I'd like to request a supermod role for First Samurai. The current mod hasn't been online on SRC for 6 months, and for the past 3 weeks I tried to seek contact through various other ways (Twitch, Twitter, Discord) without success. I have submitted a run that's pending verification. Thanks!

I'll look at everything above once the site stops being less pressured.

@TheKnightofEd Since your account is almost brand new, we won't be adding you at this point. Once your account is 30 days old, repost and we will re-consider your request.

@Rene I have added OneHitYouQuit to that board as shown below. You can direct your inquiry to them.

@OneHitYouQuit Added. You can take care of the board for now. Also note that we always require a run performed by the requester themselves before even considering a game request. But we cannot force the requester to submit their own run to the boards. Since the requester hasn't been active in 4 weeks, it's safe to assume they just haven't gotten around to doing so.

@colin I will look into this.

@7thArmstrong Then try using the on-site message system to message the mod. Some mods just are not active on Discord. Try messaging them through the site itself. Get back to me if the mod has not responded after a reasonable amount of time.

@janglestorm Added.

Hello! I'd like to request moderation for the game: "ROBLOX: MeepCity Starball" There is 1 moderator on the game @HackingNerd29 and he is inactive. (last online 2 years ago) I have a run awaiting verification and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one waiting...

House party moderator has been inactive 2 months, DMd him a month ago and submitted runs a bit earlier than that, a new moderator more familiar with the site would be excellent but I could moderate it myself if need be

https://www.speedrun.com/house_party#Topless (house party link) https://www.speedrun.com/user/Duders (idle moderator link)

Thanks for your help !

Hello there, I'd like to request moderation for https://www.speedrun.com/armello The super mod has been offline for almost 2 months and their Discord contact is also broken. The other mod also seems to be offline for almost a month now.

I have multiple pending runs and i also discovered a new strat and run that can open a new Category: "Prestige Win" which was the fourth and last way of winning the game. I want to make the game more popular and active in the subreddit and Discord group as well as making icons for the first, second, and third place, (And also add the new category board for both New Game and New Game+).

Thanks for your time ^^

@Daravae there are not two active mods, there is one. Flicky is the inactive super mod I was mentioning, and HalfCoordinated is active in other communities, but not this one.

Hi. I have become the only mod of https://speedrun.com/pizzacats and would like super mod so I could add different mods. Thanks!

@Lincher You require a pending run. I also took the liberty of checking whether you have any existing runs, which you also don't seem to have.

@Crazy_Quackers Added.

@SKYEGAMER Okay with adding you, but you need to enable e-mail authentication in your settings before we are even able to add you at all. This is also mentioned this in the first post of this thread, so please read that carefully in the future. Please enable this and get back to us when done.

@Six_Dragons It has only been a week since your oldest run. Give it some more time and get back to us after the mentioned 21 day threshold has exceeded. Also try and reach out to the mods on Twitter for example.

@sightofdawn That is not how this works. If Halfcoordinated is active, then reach out to Halfcoordinated first. If halfcoordinated requires Super Mod permissions if they wish to add you, they can try and contact the Super Mod themselves and otherwise make a request here.

@Me3kal Besides the fact that you didn't abide by the requirements mentioned in the first post of this thread, your account has not yet met the account age threshold of 30 days. Please read the first post of this thread carefully and try again in the near future.

@usedpizza Upped to Super.

@Daravae i think you may have missed my reply to your question about what i was requesting. I am requesting mod for https://www.speedrun.com/godzilla per the recommendation of one of the other mods (Buffalax). The super mods on the page are non responsive and have not logged on in a long time nor responded to my attempts to contact them over the last couple weeks. That's why I am requesting mod here. Thank you for your time and have a great day!

Edited by the author 3 years ago

@Daravae Okay i'll wait a bit more, i also tried contacting them on Twitter, but for both of them they have the DMs not publicly available, i can't message them there either.

Good day! I would like to get the role of a moderator in a game on the NES - Shatterhand. If possible! https://www.speedrun.com/shatterhand

@Daravae Appologies I didn't see that stipulation, I have enabled the email verification (and logged out and back in) now!

I would like to become the moderator of https://www.speedrun.com/jd2015 because there are no moderators for it

I would like to Request Moderation for the Game Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption. https://www.speedrun.com/sinner_sacrifice_for_redemption

The Current and Only Mod for the Game is mostly inactive (due to personal things which is fair) and i have had 5 Runs pending for over a month (some almost 2 months now). I have DMed him and he said that he is willing to give me a Moderation spot but that was over 3 weeks ago. I have tried DMing him since on his Twitch but have not got a response yet and he has not been on Speedrun.com in over 2 weeks.

I request for the game Toy Story Racer to have new mods or me as mod due to inactivaty and also refuse to update time and bend rules to keep there records when me and 3 other runners have come and take there titles, These were taken as making this post this is the activity of the mods in TSR http://prntscr.com/u6mm5d http://prntscr.com/u6mmc7 http://prntscr.com/u6mmnz http://prntscr.com/u6mmu2

http://prntscr.com/u6mp2e Here is me waiting for almost a week now i if you can look i bet there are other runs pending aswell, I know i'm new but i have already made found things in the game which change the way tower runs get done (msg me for link) But i think i would be a good addition to the mod team as a active runner with multiple very good records in the level section of the game.

Thanks Dehxter,
