Leaderboards moderation requests thread

series mod is not needed in most cases(like RM said), if there is already mods for the games then it is pointless.

and if there isnt any series mod(s) for some series out there, then it was voted this way by the community itself or because of internal problems with the mods(RE series for exemple).

not to give him false hopes, but you would need to be known within the community for good actions and such, running the games only isnt going to cut it.

I requested to become a Disney Atlantis Moderador because my moderator Lucifer9783 is still offline and i submitted a Run.

I'm practicing 100% category from the same game but if this guy is offline I can't submit it

And yes, I tried to contact to him but is inactive on Twitter (7 nov) and Twitch (25 Aug). There's no more options to contact to him

It can sometimes take a few days for the admins/mods to follow up on this thread, so just give it some time for them to get to your request.

If I may, I used to be a series mod for the DK Series (which fell through) and tbh, a series mod is not needed. If each game has its own mods, a series mod is useless. Communities should be run from within each game, not a few people looking over an entire series of games. It should be up to the moderators to take care of the games they moderate. But, that's just my opinion.

Having a series mod for a series that encompasses 90 games strikes me as a terrible idea by default.

This is the exact reason why mega series like Mario, Zelda and of course Disney, it's impossible to know enough about even 50% of the games, that's why there are no series mods. Obviously, you have series where it does work, where the series (kirby for example) are moderated by 2 people who run 60%+ of the games, 1 super meme who cares about his speedrun-resume and, another guy whom I don't know :]

Edit: I love how I shifted to another sentence in the first one, hope the points still comes across

2 days is no time at all. This thread is only for when the moderator is inactive for at least 3 weeks.

Ah, Okay. Will wait vigorously for my run verification, Thanks.

In 3 weeks if the mod is still not active and my run has not reached verification, will i have to create another forum or will I be automatically granted mod status?

If either the mod doesn't verify the run, or you cannot contact them during the 3 week period, then just make another post here about a moderation request.

Reminder of the first post (or new people that haven't read it yet)~

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.

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.)

[quote]Again, it's just a request. I'm okay with the series not being moderated, but I would prefer for it to have someone, and that's why I asked.[/quote]

Series mod is usually meaningless, since they are powerless to help in many cases.

Things you ¤can¤ do include, uh... adding new games, which is better done through the site's global form. And modifying the image for the series.

Series mods don't inherit mod in games, but will still get requests and whinging from people who can't get along, or requests to verify runs that you actually can't (since you don't have mod).

Requests to be added as mods are even more fun.

You don't want to have your name set as series mod for Disney. Trust me.

It's not that it's negative. It's just that a series mod is NOT needed. If I recall correctly, they wanted to remove series mods anyways. One or two people shouldn't be in charge of many games, which may all be different communities entirely.

Kenanelite123: It sounds like a mod was just added. It looks like your run was processed.

ESL_Kuma: Added

Gyoo: IMO since the original moderator left the site, it makes more sense for a reasonably active site user to moderate than than no one to moderate from a board maintenance standpoint. I think it could make some sense in this particular case. In either case since the message was deleted and there's some dispute, I won't make the change.

Silverpad: It looks like your run was processed.

jo_ninja: If there is an active moderator and the board is being maintained, there is not an inherent need to add more. Please discuss it with the game's moderator, who has the ability to add you.

Boonswoggle7777777: It looks like you were added.

SpeedySpiderSponge: This was my middle of the road solution to adding the game. (I'm pretty sure the board for this particular game existed a while back and was deleted or something.) I'm not personally a huge fan of your attitude in many of your posts prior to even this.

DukeBaird: Added

gallamaster: The metric for inactivity is usually around 3 weeks. (Also I changed the game's abbreviation, because that hurt to look at.)

flametenshi: Added

DCR: Series mods work for some communities and not others. It's not something we want to get rid of. I'd like it if the site could easily hand off new game requests in series to series moderators so that they could be processed by people closer to the games and communities. The removal of the series moderators have no power here button was primarily to create more clarity over who is running games, and to not have a setting that could be clicked to instantly start an argument. There does seem to be some critical mass point at which a series gets too big and the community becomes disconnected enough that having series moderators doesn't make sense.

As a general aside to all, it is possible to give feedback to users in this thread without appearing so confrontational.

Hello I'd like to be a mod or a supermod for Trackmania (btw what's the difference?). Alpines, the most (and only) active mod, demoted himself because he was too busy to be an active mod. He told me to apply for moderator for Trackmania (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260444336842342400/260448110147403786/unknown.png). Two other mods are sometimes online but they never have a look at new runs. I've talked to one of them, Valux, and he said he was requesting a TM mod (http://imgur.com/a/zSnwD). In addition, Nordtecz and Yazzo haven't been online since 2 and 1 months.

I've played around 1000 hours on the Trackmania game series, I'm 1st worldwide on TMTurbo on PC, I've already done 5 speedruns on TMTurbo (not including the full campaign one (5h) which was unrecorded) and I'm organizing the first speedrun event on the Trackmania game series on TMTurbo, TM² Stadium, Valley and Canyon between Christmas and New Year's Eve (https://bit.ly/TMSpeedrun). I have experience in community management as I'm the founder of the Steep Discord server with 1000 members from all countries (https://discord.me/steep). I hope I'll be chosen to join the Trackmania (super)mods :D

Going to request moderator or super moderator status for either myself or TheMaster on the Left 4 Dead leaderboard. The two current mods refuse to post on the forum or reply to various posts and contact.
