@Mist Ask one of the series mods (most of them have been online in the last day). This thread is a last resort for if current mods are inactive and can't be contacted.

Hello! I would like to request a role of moderation for the Skylanders series. ( https://www.speedrun.com/skylanders ) The series page has two moderators, but both are inactive there. The first mod, kirbygame126, has not been active in two years, so I attempted to contact the second mod, bangerra, through his Youtube discussion page (you can see my message to him here: https://www.youtube.com/user/bangerra/discussion ). My message was sent about 2-to-3 days ago, but he has uploaded a video 8 hours ago, so I assume he ignored me. I am willing to become a mod for the Skylanders series if it would amount to any active mod activity in those series pages. May someone please help me?

As I understand it is actually impossible to beat a record on the games so that mod are no longer active?

No! If you still have a video proof anywhere in the internet, then that is a valid run even if it isn't submited here.

Hello, I would like to request the mod of the street fighter series, to help in the ranks and also to be able to accept a request of the game SF IV CE (Mobile) that I requested for a while.

@Aveklepiay if you have a run that isn’t getting verified because of inactive mods, you can request mod here in this thread. Then you can start verifying the waiting runs.

This is not urgent but I'd like to request mod for Kenseiden.

The current mod has been inactive for 2 years and I've contacted them on twitch.

If not, please remove the 999h submission. [Edit: normally I wouldn't ask, and all I'd be doing is cleaning up the board and requiring verification so I could see that it was at least an actual run. Feel free to mod the actual active runner instead]

@EduardoRN Have you talked to the SF series mods? Some of them were online earlier today, so inactivity isn't an issue.

@EduardoRN for the game request you have to wait for a site admin to accept the game, this can take up to 2 weeks sometimes, as for the game itself, if they are active then you have to talk with them first, this thread is suppose to be meant as a last resort.

Hello,

Can I become a mod on "Duet" game ? Mods are inactive and impossible to reach. Thank you.

@Aveklepiay have you tried contacting them through other than through the forum? one of them was online 4 days ago, just be patient. The post you made in the forum was only 2 days ago, give it a week or so and try to maybe contact him through the youtube link he has on his profile, if nothing happens and he doesn't come on then make a new post about it.

@DarQ_Massacres

It's already done and it's now several weeks that I'm waiting (my initial shipment dates from more than a month ago). I had no news at the moment.

I would like to become mod on the FIFA 18 speedrun page, there is a small community and mods are not active and my runs are not being verified.

Thanks, Pookster007

I will be active on the page if this gets accepted

[quote=Gyoo]Please keep in mind that using this thread is 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. Best way to contact game mods is probably through Twitter 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.)

An admin or full mod will respond to your post when they review it; if there is no response, it hasn't been reviewed yet.[/quote]

And plus, you are literally a member since 1 day! You need to wait a least two weeks for the run to be verified. Mods aren't doing this as a full time job.

Hello again! I've waited about a full week for a response from bangerra (you can see my message to him here: https://www.youtube.com/user/bangerra/discussion ). I have not yet received a response from him, despite him being active in posting videos to his channel, so I am convinced that he is truly ignoring my post, and I've decided to refer back to here. Please look at my last post here as well if you have not yet read that. Thank you! -Gizmo

Bangerra isn't inactive at all lol. YT is like a last resort, try him on twitter or discord or something.

5 days isn't that long to wait tbh

And if he's verifying runs, then what's the issue?

Well, I suppose he IS active. I just haven't seen him around the Skylanders games/series pages at all, even though he moderates the series page and one of the games. I didn't see any information regarding a Discord tag, and I would have contacted him there if he had one. I've decided to not use my Twitter, since I've only ever used it for communicating with a certain game community, and I've only ever used it once or twice.

If I must wait longer for a response, then I will do that. I'll consider contacting him on Twitter should it come to that.

Well, the first issue is what I've stated above; I just haven't seen him anywhere. My concern started when I made a post in the Skylanders series forum regarding my suggestion for a series-wide extension board (because some of the bonus missions and features are shared throughout some games in the series, and none of these are listed as categories in any of the game boards). I believe I made that post about a week ago, and I haven't seen a response from anyone regarding the idea, nevertheless from a mod, who would have the ability to request such a thing. I've talked it over with some other runners on the Skylanders Speedruns Discord server, and they seem to agree with me on the subject of the series mods being inactive. Since then, I've made an attempt to contact bangerra (as the other series mod has been inactive for years), and here we are. He seems to be verifying runs sometimes on the one game that he moderates in that series, but that's it. (He also has submitted a full-game run on that game, which he verified himself, but that was two years ago.) I suppose that dampens the whole situation, but I'm more concerned about the moderation of the series page.

As I've stated, I may try to contact him through Twitter later, but I just wanted to see what you all thought of the situation first. Thanks~

@GizmoTheDragon Unless this feature was snuck in at some point recently, there aren't any notifications for series forum posts

Aw, really? Why's that? Well, your logic is sound, then. I suppose that means he just hasn't seen it at all, despite being active.

So, I'll try to contact bangerra through Twitter. Thanks for the info!
