Leaderboards moderation requests thread
9 years ago
United States

Hi, I want to be a moderator for Game of the year: 420BLAZEIT. I wanted to fix the rules and add a new category, so I posted in the forum and sent Twitch PMs, with no response. At the time there were 2 mods, but the one super moderator left and now there is no super mod.

I could probably have tried harder to contact the current mod by going through different channels, but it just seems more simple to become a mod myself. I don't care if I become mod or super mod, but I am much more active in the game than the current one--I have the best time vs. the current mod not having a run at all.

The first option you have would be to write into the forum of the game. Moderators get notifications about new threads.

The post I was referring to was from over a month ago, not the ones I just posted. But my point is that the mod isn't a super mod, so I'm requesting that either he or I become a super mod. The game has no super mod currently.

I'd like to request to be mod of Yoshi's Island DS. I've been routing the game myself on and off for about a week or so now and finding lots of new strats, skips, and tech to it and will be doing my 1st run of the game this Saturday for the 12 Hour Challenge. Having mod will make it much easier to update the leaderboards with my times all the time and further inspire me to run the game more. The current mod for the leaderboard, B00Spring, hasn't been around in at least a month, as indicated by his Twitter activity https://twitter.com/b00sprong . I can't check how long ago was the last time he was on speedrun.com, but I imagine it's been a while too. The other 2 mods are super mods who are both great at running Yoshi's Island, so they probably don't know much about Yoshi's Island DS. I also want to clean up the rules and expand on them a bit more as well, like how 100% isn't even the game's 100% definition. For reference, this is the 100% rules for Yoshi's Island and I want to make it more similar to this http://puu.sh/mU8G8/5be4decf6d.png. Thanks everyone :)

I would like to become a moderator of the Genesis game Fatal Rewind, which is a port of the Amiga game The Killing Game Show.

I did a serious speedrun of it in 2015, and there may be future speedruns of this game by other users.

Gy009: The first post in this thread requests ~3 weeks of inactivity by a user. This may be a unique case because the user has a total of 1 run on the site and the only run in that game, but he was on a week ago, so let's give it some time.

Sotherogue: Added.

Sopha: I super modded the user. He's quite active with the site, so please discuss it with him first.

Mr_Shasta: I think the super mods added you maybe?

SandbagX: I don't see this game, if it's a new game you should use the game request form here: http://www.speedrun.com/requestgame

Hello, I'm posting here because I would like to request Moderatorship for three to four games of the same series. New Super Mario Bros. - The DS version - I run this game New Super Mario Bros .Wii - I run this game New Super Mario Bros. U - I am learning this game New Super Luigi U - I am learning this game

The reason I am requesting to be moderated is because there are inactive moderators in NSMB Wii, NSMB U, and NSL U, of which I have attempted to contact and have gotten no response in all forms of contact I have tried.

NSMB DS is optional, but has only two moderators, and I feel another would be necessary.

So uh... Please? <3

I would like to moderate Golden Axe for the Genesis. I have submitted a run and the moderator has not logged in for over a year and the rules are non existent. i have tried to contact the moderator but with no success.

To prove my worth. My run of golden axe for genesis is the fastest on this website. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0gQpBw9c4uo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B3FDn1sSArk

I Know the game, and I'm running it (currently un recorded, so not posting).

I should rephrase what I said: I am strengthening my skill in those games. I've memorized DS and Wii (all categories). Maybe Wii does have active mods, I've tried contacting and got nothing back personally.

Wii U needs somebody to just accept runs, and maybe add categories, which I am actually knowledgeable of, and I do check the website every day. This applies to NSMB U and NSL U.

(Also, I've applied following all the standards, and without bashing anybody about not having enough experience...)

Jesse_Porter: Added to Golden Axe due to inactivity.

LightOfEon/Sotherogue: New Super Mario Bros.: Both users are active with the site and run the game. New Super Mario Bros. Wii: This was turned to the current moderators over based on community consensus.

These next two were pretty heavy discretion on my part, but I think it will help solve the issue showing up on the forums. From my perspective, adding someone just learning the game (with a few ILs and/or no mentioned videos) doesn't have the highest chance of producing the best outcome.

New Super Mario Bros. U: I added dagpetter1 because he has a competitive run and mentioned interest on that forum. New Super Luigi U: I added Mchan388 because he had a run in a requested category, posted on the forum, and has numerous runs on the site.
