Request leaderboard moderation (Read the first post before posting!)

Hello there, I would like to request the Moderation of "Daymare 1998" and the removal of the currect SuperMod RabiWilliam. https://www.speedrun.com/daymare1998 https://www.speedrun.com/user/RabiWilliam/info Offline for over a month now.

The only current moderator is completely unresponsive, he basically created his SRC account while requesting the moderation of the game at the same time and then disappeared after posting his runs and accepting runs submitted on the same days/week he was running.

There are evident problems with the board as well:

  1. The moderator submitted 3 times the same run and didn't fix it. He probably doesn't know how to do it or bother fixing it.
  2. The game has three level of difficulties (Easy - Normal - Daymare), but you can submit a run only for the difficulty the moderator run (Daymare). There are runners like Optinoob and I that can't submit a run becasue we have no Easy category available
  3. The name of the category should be changed to "Any%" and sub categories based on difficulty are needed.
  4. You have both RTA and IGT when RTA is absolutely not needed and every run and runner has a different way to evaluate the RTA. start and finish point for RTA calculation.
  5. Not all console the game is available are selectable (i.e. see Xbox), and PS4 was added 3 months ago when the game wasn't actually avaialble on console yet.
  6. The game has a DLC Extra called "H.A.D.E.S. Dead End" which is not included neither as Level Leaderboard nor as Sub-Game.

I tried to contact the SuperMod RabiWilliam in every possible way:

  1. The 29th of April I contacted and writed him on Discord. He accepted the friend request, but never replied! (I can provide proofs) He is online on Discord even now, but still no asnwer to me.
  2. Mid May I found his PSN ID, so I asked him the friendship and wrote a message on the Playstation Network. No reply! (I can provide proofs)
  3. The 26th of May I posted on the forum: https://www.speedrun.com/daymare1998/thread/w8xfh No reply!
  4. The 1st of June I posted another thread on the forum: https://www.speedrun.com/daymare1998/thread/133bk No reply!
  5. Two days ago I posted a guide for the game and nobody contacted me or comment on that either https://www.speedrun.com/daymare1998/guides

Tired of waiting an answer, today I finally run the game even if a category for me doesn't exist yet. I hope I haven't wasted time learning the game. but I can't submit it tho.

Personally I think he doesn't even speak English, he shows the UK flag on speedrun.com but all his video on YT are in Korean, pretty dodgy in my opinion. I might be wrong here.

Please accept my request. I can take care of the leaderboard better than the current mod.

@SpriteDaLegend You did not meet the requirements mentioned in the first post before posting here.

@Turtlewax Moderator white_mage is pretty active on Twitter. Try sending them a message there first. Also, you did not meet the requirements mentioned in the first post before posting here.

@NeoKad You need a pending run. Also, you did not meet the requirements mentioned in the first post before posting here.

@Itakenaphere You need a pending run. Also, you did not meet the requirements mentioned in the first post before posting here.

@robloxboi If the only moderator on that board forgot his password, they should email to support@speedrun.com retrieve access to their account again.

@Chxra_ Okay with me but you did not meet the requirements mentioned in the first post before posting here. You need at least two of your own social media contacts attached to your profile. Please attach these and post again when you did so.

@ultrauberness Okay, upped to super.

@fiko93 Okay with me but you did not meet the requirements mentioned in the first post before posting here. As you need to enabled e-mail authentication in your settings first.

@eins_lesezeichen It has only been one month since he logged on, not two like you mentioned. Try messaging the moderator on Twitch first. Get back to us if you do not receive a response in a reasonable amount of time.

@RapixOnGaming You need a pending run first of an existing category. Read the rules of the first post next time before you decide to post here in the future.

Also reminder to everyone that wants to post here: It really doesn't help if you come in here and do NOT meet the requirements in the first post. Please read the rules in the first post carefully, or your post will be instantly rejected.

@OscillatingOcelot - These situations tend to take a while to handle (among other things, we need to make sure we have both sides of the story before we just yank somebody off), but we'll let you know if/when anything changes with this.

@robloxboi - Baseless speculation does not help us at all. If you have no idea what you're talking about, keep it to yourself.

Long time post, but it seems with every console switch there seem to be inactive boards.

Power Stone https://www.speedrun.com/power_stone

Power Stone 2 https://www.speedrun.com/power_stone_2

Capcom vs SNK https://www.speedrun.com/cvsnk

I do not plan on deleting any runs, and already have someone else lined up to moderate my runs and the boards as per the usual. I messaged and have been waiting for over a month since the initial submissions (I resubmitted during that time as well).

There may be a few more later;

The Guilty Gear X Leaderboard is also empty and the mod inactive... (However I only recently submitted but I am fairly certain it will be same outcome of no response.) https://www.speedrun.com/ggx

Hello @Daravae, I don't understand you answer and yes, I did carefully read all rules. I believe I have followed all requirements as well tbh. As I explained I have a run but I don't have a category to submit it to. Another runner has the same problem too.

Rules in the first post of this thread don't say anywhere: "You need a pending run first of an EXISTING CATEGORY". It actually says "Site staff will MOST OFTEN need to see a pending run by you to make a moderation change for inactivity." In my case, as I explained I have a run which can't be pending becasue the category is missing (Just to show you, I have just submitted it in the wrong category even though that should be rejected). Running the "EXISTING CATEGORY" Daymare mode (Hard mode) for this game on Console is mental. It is not a speedrun but rather a challenge run. It's like asking me to make a Hard Mode Knife-Only run on Resident Evil to be allowed to submit a Standard Any% run. The moderator added the only category he run once and he doesn't answer anyone requesting to add all other more standard categories. He just left the site after accepting his own run basically.

If you don't want to remove the RabiWilliam the only SuperMod now, can you please at least add me as SuperMod as well? Following this other rule: "Leaderboards should aim to have at least 3 active moderators if qualified people are available." so that I can fix the leaderboard (all issues I described in the other post) as well as I can accept my run and the other runner run adding the missing categories.

If the other SuperMod doesn't show up I will re-ask you to remove him in a month from now or so. Deal?

Please consider this option.

@Daravae oh my bad, I just enabled it 👌

@RapixOnGaming A "pending" run literally means its supposed to be a run that is submitted to an already existing category, as you cannot submit a run to a category that does not exist? What further context does that even need? Now please perform the required before posting here again.

Hi there, I'm requesting the removal of the super moderator Veghbela from the Mafia leaderboard https://www.speedrun.com/mafia1 .

Shortly after I've made him super mod, he got inactive and hasn't logged in for more than a year. He also is inactive in the community discord and attempts to reactivate him through Twitch messages/chat (since January 2019), where he shows up from time to time, were unsuccessful.

Hello! I would like to request the removal of the super moderator on the "The Walking Dead: The Telltale series" and, consequently, on the 5 games of this series. The super moderator ClingingTomcat8 has been inactive for almost 2 weeks and, also, he isn't connected with the community. He doesn't show any interest on running the game either. If this request is fullfilled, I would also want to request the super moderator status on this series, and consequently on the 5 games. Thanks for your attention!

Valhalla

Hello @Daravae, as you requested I performed a run in the only category available and submitted it to the site as well. https://www.speedrun.com/daymare1998/run/m353654y

To recap, still no answer from the SuperMod anywhere, I can provide proofs of these if needed: I wrote him on Discord the 29th of April; I worte him a direct message on SRC; I wrote 3 posts on the forum, the oldest being 11 days ago; I wrote him on his Twitter account; I wrote him on Youtube commenting his video about Daymare 1998; I wrote him on PlayStation Network asking freidnship in mid-May;

He doesn't care about the game or the leaderboard, he just wanted to submit his own runs for a game that wasn't on the site at that time.

Please accept my request to become SuperMod and also if possible remove RabiWilliam.

Hello, I am requesting for two games. Both games only have one moderator (The same moderator) Who has been inactive for a while.

https://www.speedrun.com/ggxrd , https://www.speedrun.com/ggxrdr

I have 16 pending runs for these games and the only moderator has been logged out for over a month.

All tied accounts for the moderator seem to go to abandoned accounts, the twitter account does have a link to a new twitter that is active. I attempted to send a message on May25th to the mod through this new twitter and it has not been read.

This is not the first time they have had a long absence as there is a forum post in ggxrd regarding the mod not being on in a long time.

I am requesting mod abilities for these leaderboards. Thank you for your time.

@Patrick_Barrett - Adding you as the moderator never got back to me.

@GuGi_K - Moderators never got back to me on this. Still need you to enable Email Authentication.

@DBcade - There's a lot to look into here, will check back on these later today/tomorrow.

@Lembox - Handling this.

@SpaceDragon - Two weeks isn't very long, we generally class inactivity at 3 weeks. Have you tried talking with them directly about any of this?

@Ceidian - I believe I've had to contact this moderator in the past, need to check what came of that. In any case I'll let you know what happens here.

@ShikenNuggets Yes I have. The problem isn't his innactivity, it's just that he doesn't show any interest on the games. He said that he only included this series in the website because he wanted to see how people would speedrun a game like that. But he just isn't involved with us that much. That's why i think it would be better if someone else got the super moderator status on all the games of this series

Hey,

Wondering if I can be added as a moderator to the SOS (SNES) board here https://www.speedrun.com/s.o.s.

There is only 1 mod listed and they are not terribly active on the site. Dont expect too much traffic for this game but I am active on the site and wouldnt mind moderate the board. I have 2 runs waiting verification at the moment under any% one pending 12 days one for 3 days which i know isnt a lot of time but figured would just ask to help moderate the board since I am active on the site. Thanks

@Daravae @ShikenNuggets can anyone now add me as supermod for ultra street fighter 4 please? I enabled the email authentication setting now. Thanks

Hey guys,

Wondering if I can be added as a moderator to the Hammerin' Harry NES leaderboard : https://www.speedrun.com/hammerin Several players, including me, have runs waiting for verification for 25 days.

I'm active on SRC and I will be glad to help. Thanks :)

Just seeing what the status is for the Ultra Street Fighter 4 is. @ShickenNuggets

@fiko93 Added.

@RapixOnGaming Added.

@SpaceDragon The series is no need of moderation. For the separate games its probably better to ask them to unmod themselves and pass on moderation to you, as we are not looking to hamper other moderators in their decisions.

@KLM1187 Try messaging the mod on Twitter as they appear active on there. Get back to us if there is no response after a reasonable amount of time.

@KoolDoob Try messaging shannaberryblast on Twitter first as they appear active on there. Get back to us if there is no response after a reasonable amount of time.
