Request leaderboard moderation (Read the first post before posting!)
4 years ago
Cumbria, England

Posting here to request site help in handling an issue which has been raised. I am the super for Mercs Genesis and a new runner has questioned the legitimacy of my runs. These were cross-verified by the other mod but the new runner is also suspicious of his runs. I have attempted to explain these things to the runner but they are not satsified and have not fully engaged in suggestions to investigate basic issues with explained methods to reproduce results. So I am duty bound to request an expert/someone in authority in the site from outside our group verify the relevant runs/look at the issues complained about, ideally who is expert in matters of TAS tool detection, splicing, and also in knowing/perceiving where audio desync or input lag occurs during Sega runs. If someone appropriate can contact me privately I can share the relevant info securely and allow them to take over the process from there to prevent bias.

I would like to be a moderator of https://www.speedrun.com/jd2015 because there are no moderators anymore

@BazookaBob2018 Okay, re-added you.

@L.D You require a pending run. Also checked whether you have any existing runs in this game, which you also don't have.

@XandoToaster This series does not require moderation.

@CYLITM Read the first post of this thread. That will answer your question.

@andresfgp13 Added.

@FelinoAlbino That is not really how this thread works. All 3 moderators were all active very recently. Why can the other moderators not help you? Have you tried to contact them at all? Preferably through SRC's message system. If they all 3 don't respond in a reasonable amount of time, get back to us but we are going to have to see some proof that you messaged them and awaited their response.

@Avercy Added. Please do something about those category names as well if you can.

@Glitchedd Send me a message on SRC that includes your attempts to reach out to this mod. We will handle it further from there.

@xploszia Your pending run has yet not exceeded the 21 day threshold. Get back to us if you haven't received a response somewhere next week.

@Meozinho Added. For Unturned and Half-Life 2: Episode Two. Some of the moderators of both games were active recently. Let us know if these moderators are actively looking at the queue or not so we may decide to remove them in the future.

@Fyire26068 Added.

@BiggityBoys Okay with adding you, but you need to activate "Require e-mail authentication" in your settings before I can even add you at all. You also need to attach at least 2 of your own social media accounts to your SRC profile. Get back to me when done.

@MRSS Your pending run has yet not exceeded the 21 day threshold. You also need to activate "Require e-mail authentication" in your settings and attach at least 2 of your own social media accounts to your SRC profile. Get back to me when you completed all of this.

@LPhantom Denied as you do not meet the age requirements for moderation.

@mitjitsu Added. Please do something about these category names too if you can.

@Spinju The moderator was active a couple of hours ago. Have you messaged them requesting that they remove themselves? Have they replied to you? If not, send me a message on SRC with some proof please.

@Monkeh_ Added.

@petaQ Send me a message on SRC about this.

@AkibaMomoro Your pending run has yet not exceeded the 21 day threshold. Get back to us if you haven't received a response somewhere next week.

@Keiferr You neither have a pending or existing run on this game.

1 month ago, I did a run (all cheats mode) from south park (https://www.speedrun.com/south_park) and the 2 moderators are absent (ZanderGoth for 2 years and Crackerbean for 1 year) can you validate my run or put me as moderator of this game please. thank you.

@Daravae WhiteHat94 and UraniumAnchor do not respond in messages about moderation in the game Shatterhand (NES). Can I get a moderator only from them? Can you appoint me as a moderator? There are runs that are not accepted for more than 30 days

I'm fine with not being mod of the Scrabble series, but can I at least be mod on the ps1 scrabble page? That game does not have a mod, and there are categories I'd like to add to make it more interesting. That was really what started this inquiry for me. https://www.speedrun.com/scrabble_ps

To reiterate, I am supermod of the ps1 scrabble category extensions page, which has one category, and every runner I've talked to of that category agrees that there's no reason for it to be a category extension. https://www.speedrun.com/scrabble__category_extension

As a category extension page we get virtually no visibility. When people watch us stream, they often don't know how to find the leaderboard we compete on. Our category involves beating a main mode of the game. We don't use any weird rules. It's not a meme run that we do to be silly. It also just feels weird to me that the most popular run in the scrabble series (at least in terms of number of people on the board) is a category extension that people only really find out about through word of mouth.

In addition, I'd like to add another category to the main ps1 scrabble page. Several players and myself have talked many times about wanting to run a category that involves beating the AI while actually playing a game of scrabble. Currently, the only category on the main page is done optimally by exchanging tiles or passing every turn, hoping the AI will also pass every turn, and then the game will just end after several because it sees that no one is playing anything. This results in scrabble speedruns that end in no tiles being played at all, which is kind of a funny concept, but nobody seems interested in running. We've already worked out rules for a new category. I've already done a run against the novice AI with those rules. But I can't submit it anywhere because the ps1 scrabble page doesn't have any mods right now, and I'd rather not just make it another category extension.

Hey there,

I'm a current moderator of The Legend of Korra leaderboard. https://www.speedrun.com/tlok

I'd like to formally request the removal of our current Super Moderator. They have been inactive on this site for 2 years. I've tried contacting them through DMs on this site, twitter, and twitch to see if they were still interested in moderating the game, but it's been a week and I haven't received any responses. I'd like to become the new Super Moderator if the removal of the current one goes through.

Thank you, DD

Lunar Legend's sole moderator has been inactive for 1 year. I have spoken with (let's just say) another world-class Lunar games runner and was told runs are being ignored. Attempted to contact golden and obviously no response. Please add me as a moderator for lunar legend. I am current WR holder for lunar 1, created its leaderboard and the one for lunar samposuru gakuen and moderate 10 or so other games. Thanks in advance.

Hello, for a few years I've been the only active moderator of Dungeon Defenders - https://www.speedrun.com/dungeon. Moderator WASD should be removed for inactivity for years, Hydro either removed or downgraded to regular mod. I'd also like to become the series moderator (https://www.speedrun.com/dungeon_defenders) if possible.

Thanks.

@Destroerwow You were added by the game's super mod.

@ClythFireStarter Have you send a message to ROMaster2? He was active on the site recently.

@Keiferr This thread is not meant to talk on behalf of others. Moderation is to be requested for yourself in here. Read the first post for the requirements to become eligible for moderation.

@XandoToaster You need a pending run submitted to an existing category. I also went ahead and checked whether you have any existing runs which you also don't seem to have.

@DolphinDasher Removed and upped you to Super.

@holipigicowi Added.

@NickDoane You need a pending run. I also don't see any other pending runs.

@Mighty_Fox Removed WASD due to inactivity. You can ask Hydro to do this themselves. Also this series has active moderators. Direct your inquiry to them.

@TheGlitchKidd Your run has only been pending for 1 day. Be a little patient. Send the current mod a message after your run exceeded the 21 day threshold.

@holipigicowi It's only been one day. Please be a little more patient. The mod that is inactive for a month could realistically log back on and verify your run.

@williamlofgren Added.

@Hiprolix Okay with adding you, but you need to activate "Require e-mail authentication" in your settings before I can even add you at all. You also need to attach at least 2 of your own social media accounts to your SRC profile. Get back to me when done.

Requesting to be a brown sword mod for the nerf series. I requested it be added and it was, but I was removed from mod of it. I was wondering if I could maybe be a brown sword for it to add a cover and theme for it. There are some games not added but they kinda hard to find/ pointless to add. So yeah, if you add me as a brown sword, that would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Oregon, USA

@Daravae Well, I definitely DID submit a run, but I guess the site didn't take it. This is the second time in about a month I submitted a run and later found out it didn't actually go through. But site bugs are for a different thread...

Anyway, I just submitted that run again, and I checked my pending runs list and have confirmed that it went through this time. For context, one more time, I am requesting to be super mod of the ps1 scrabble page: https://www.speedrun.com/scrabble_ps

@Daravae Thank you very much!
