@battleonfan1

Are you implying that your exposed ass is available for viewing? Please post the link :D

Racingmonster: It looks like you were added.

battleonfan1: This whole discussion has devolved into just ranting and both sides have "poisoned the well" so to speak. Starting a rant about not having mod for a game you haven't submitted a run for and then taking it to Twitch chat and particiating in a flame war has only created more conflict than necessary. If you decide to do a run, those problems don't magically disappear.

xHaviiHx: I think everyone agrees with this statement. It's optional to read this thread; a lot of people seem to ignore it. People are welcome to use my Twitch PM inbox as well. (Not my Twitch chat.)

CyberDemon531: I could use more information. 1: Does this google doc exist currently, or were you just saying in order to not have to make one? 2: Could you explain what "Completing the Gallery" is more specifically? 3: Could you list the "at least 3 other people" advocating for this?

GhostScit: Heavy Rain: Okay, you have a run and the moderator is inactive. Stray Cat: mod is somewhat inactive and you have a run and it's a small board, so that's fine.

NeyQo: Okay, runs pending, inactive mod.

g0goTBC: Board has active mods, talk to them.

@kirkq, 8bitisgr8, Expelsword_014, and Crak_Atak (as well as myself) have expressed interest in an XC board. Completing the gallery is a category idea that incorporates completing various goals throughout the X games to complete the photo gallery in the X Collection menu. I have not made a google doc yet, because I wanted to go through this site before doing so.

Hi guys. I'd like to apply for moderator of Need for speed: The Run (https://www.speedrun.com/nfsrun) I've noticed that none of the moderators have been active for the last 2 days (even though one was assigned just today) and the runs are not being verified.

I've been running NFS:Underground and Pro Street, alone, for some time now (without Splits, or measuring time. Just for fun), because I was never able to make the software work for me (either I couldn't record/stream, or something else was crashing or not working at all). Few days ago, I've decided to try again to make some runs, this time on a long time favorite of my, The Run, but moderation of NFS runs is very bad right now. So that's my motivation.

Every time I open my browser I have it setup to open my favorite sites, including speedrun.com, so I don't think I will be missing anything that requires moderation. Fingers crossed :3

@PojeBunny read the first post....

"Please keep in mind that using this thread is somewhat a last resort, in case the current moderators are not responding or refusing your help without justification. You should always start by asking the Super mods of a game/series as they are also able to add mods. Twitch messages to mods are probably best for now. Also try the game forums, many users get notifications when threads are created for games they follow. Moderator inactivity doesn't apply until around 3 weeks, depending on other circumstances, and it is expected that you try to contact them (exceptions may be made if they have been offline ~3+ months.) "

Your best bet is to contact them and ask them.

@PojeBunny If you take a look at the Need for Speed series forums, there is a discord link in the first thread. The Discord server for the series is pretty active and you can discuss the game there with the other players as well as contact then really fast.

Here is the link for the thread to save you some time: http://www.speedrun.com/need_for_speed/thread/8cxym

I would like to apologize for the scene I made. I was experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect where I overestimate my knowledge on something. I now know that Jersey Devil is a much tougher game than I had originally thought. I look at my comments now and they are so embarrassing. But I haven't given up on that mod position just yet. I will master this game. And when I am confident that I have mastered this beast, I will come back and ask again. Which might take longer than I had originally hoped. Sorry for starting dumb drama. I hope you can forgive me.

I would like to request to remove PassiveBobOmb from the mods of the Toy Story 2 Leaderboards (http://www.speedrun.com/toys2). He hasn't been active for over 1 year and has said that he will no longer be playing or being active in the Toy Story 2 community at all. He has agreed to this, since he has said he is no longer/doesn't want to be active with Toy Story 2 any more. Thank You

@cheeseandcereal Have him post here with his answer or a picture of this conversation you guys had.

Cyberdemon531: I'll add it because I don't see a substantial reason not to.

PojeBunny: The moderators are active enough. Expecting runs processed in 2 days is unrealistic. The runs were processed at the time of this post.

Racingmonster: Since you're the only one with a run for this game in the series, this is probably fine.

LozBlind: By discretion, and since you mod the others, ok

cheeseandcereal: He's been offline 9 months, ok

All right everyone, this is a followup to my request to be a super mod of the Fireboy And Watergirl serie. All of my runs still haven't been approved. (They've been submitted a month ago.) The thread on the forum of the serie, the whisper and the PM that I sent to both of the moderators on Twitch haven't been answered.

So, a while ago I was made mod for Heli attack 3, because HugeTurban wasn't accepting my run. I verified my own run, but he has taken down my run twice, for no reason, or at least I don't think he has tried to tell me why.

Think you could link to the rejected runs, so the mods don't have to dig through your account to find them? You can find them by clicking the hour glass in the top right, then pressing view all.

I was wondering if I could get moderator for Shooty Skies because there is only ONE moderator and he is somewhat inactive and the only way to contact him is through YouTube which it isn't easy to contact people on. http://www.speedrun.com/Shooty_Skies

@IFanGames to be considered inactive they have to be offline for more than 3 weeks. Also, have you tried posting in the game's forums? Try to contact the mod there

I requested mod for Shooty Skies and Capan told me, "Sure, go ahead and request it I don't mind. If you go to the forum page I request to replace the old mod. If you go to the same thread and ask to be modded on this same thread by my permission it should be fine ," So I came back here and I guess I request moderator for Shooty Skies? I did request earlier but it got rejected and someone said to ask the mod of Shooty Skies so I did. Mod Plz

He's a super mod, so he should be able to just go to the settings of the game and give you moderator.

@Racingmonster I'm not mad he just said it was no problem but it would take a day or two to process I guess if you want to see the full discussion here speedrun.com/shooty_skies/thread/trdur

Mod has been offline for 6 months, no outside communication linked, and his video to his own run was taken down.

Thanks!

@DonkeyKongGenius - All of those games have active mods. You can see the last online time for each person if you go to their profile and click info. Inactivity is usually around 3 weeks (21 days) inactivity.
