request to be moderator for magical drop V. current mod is offline and hasn't come online for 6 months, twitch channel hasn't been used since his last and only speedrun in january.
requesting moderation for Max Payne 2 since the 2 mods have been inactive for about 1 month and I have done quite a few wr runs since then...
Yocko: Added because this seems to make sense. ItsMaximum: Added due to inactivity. Foetoid: This seems fine. Fireman: Added due to inactivity. AlejandroGarza: The game exists, please discuss it with the moderators. Duckie2010: Added due to inactivity. Caitelady: Added due to inactivity. Cyberdemon531: It's my perception that Megaman community members would have a negative opinion about classic mega man style games being added until we have better solutions in place for integrating the two sites. Thomas: Deleted. For informational purposes: I think the delete button useability is removed after a couple weeks of the board existing to protect it. KevínDieSeegurke: I'd recommend doing a run first and seeing if this brings about discussion to resolve the issue. I get your concern about the patch changes, but without having a run pending it's a bit of a stretch for me to add you. AquaBlake: I added you to all the games with inactive moderators, please discuss with the other active moderators. FutureForce14: Added due to inactivity. pidgezero_one: Presuming this is a request to add. If you want removed at some point, you can self-remove. SolidSpiderZnake: This seems fine. loginner: I'll add you since he's highly inactive. Kennert007: I added another user who plays the game and moderates other games in the series since he's pretty active.
In response to Rottdawg's post here: http://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/c898h (As stated in that thread, I view thread titles of that nature to be a bit over the top.)
A NES run was mistimed by 3 frames and the top time on the board was wrong for a day. Without a substantial amount of context there's not really a way to know if it's a mistake or intentional.
I would highly recommend that user to stop deleting posts bringing up potential issues, as it gives off a pretty bad perception that feedback/criticism isn't welcome. Users rightly get pretty annoyed when they bring up an issue and it gets deleted, which probably contributes to it boiling over into site staff territory.
I realize you and your group of friends take NES records really seriously. Not all site moderators give runs the same level of scrutiny and diligence you guys want given to runs. I've had some long-term ideas for solutions to this problem, such as implementing dedicated console moderators and things of that nature. It would help site staff a lot to have these issues dealt with at lower levels.
My tendency in general for handling moderation disputes like this is to turn over board moderation to the consensus of the runners of the game if some new consensus is reached. I realize this isn't in writing, and it really should be.
I don't think it makes sense to outright remove users for board issues that could reasonably be construed as honest mistakes. Is there a more long-term solution to the generic version of the problem being presented here? We can discuss this through another medium if you'd prefer.
@Kennert007, I've just been added as Max Payne 2 mod and I will be checking your runs by the end of today.
kirkq, as i said the mm site does not support these versions and the moderators there have no wish to support them, they are not comparable to the originals and there is no where to house runs for them, and if they "retain control" there will never be a location.
Request to be added as a super mod for Monster in My Pocket leaderboard ( http://www.speedrun.com/Monster_in_My_Pocket ). The only active mod refuses to do that becuase (he says): "you only want to be a mod to advertise your stream". Tnx a lot.
and @kirkq about this: "I've had some long-term ideas for solutions to this problem, such as implementing dedicated console moderators and things of that nature. It would help site staff a lot to have these issues dealt with at lower levels." it would really help imo.
Hello, I request to become a moderator to Guild Wars 2 I have lots of knowledge and experience from the game.
so months ago, i asked, the current mod of Splinter Cell Double Agent why he was using IGT instead of RTA and why he allowed a segmented run to appear on the leaderboards when it should only be SS (idk why the guy submitted it in the first place nor why it was verified and accepted since the title of his youtube video made it pretty clear it was segmented) but anyway my point being that he removed all the comments in that tread of the forum and locked it down...
i had other issues with that person in the past, like waiting forever to get my runs verified, which is understandable in most cases since some of us are more busy than others, like ok, but at some point you can tell its just getting ridiculous, especially when you can see that they are active online, you have to go reach them on twitter and even then they still ignore you for a while... or other time like when asking for simple changes like proper names for difficulty/categories and when they were not simply ignored, at some point, he manage to delete my run from the board (idk if he erased the whole board instead of renaming it or what, and created a new board for the now missing difficulty but if you're making changes and runs dissapears, i mean...) and i had to ask him to put it back after a while since he never realised his mistake...
and all of that was documented in that "tread", so i guess he decided to get rid of the evidences cuz it made him look bad or something...
therefore, i would ask here to be assigned as a mod for this game and i think one of the active runner of the other version (v1, i run v2) should be assigned as well (i think he already asked for it, but if not, i'm hoping he will) and i would also ask if the current mod could be removed so that we don't have to deal with this kind of behaviors again.
Please delete the game Aion: Ascention from the board. I am the only mod and since the game is over 2 weeks old, I cannot delete it myself. Future runs for this game aren't viable as there are too many elements out of the players control.
I would like to request to be added as a moderator to "Splinter Cell Double Agent" As huxxny just explained, i have the same issues, i have contacted the moderator and explained that i would like to become a moderator due to the rules make it hard for pc players to get into speedrunning the game (its a real minor thing that needs to be changed) but the moderator, shut me down and simply put "i am not making you a mod so dont ask". Now not at one point was a rude to the person in question so i dont understand why the person in question was being this way, also i wasnt provided with a reason as to why i wasnt going to get made a moderator. I agree with huxxny that the moderator should be removed and me and huxxny made as moderators.
I'd like to request to be added as a moderator for the game "Unturned" ( http://www.speedrun.com/unturned ). I am a well known Unturned Youtuber and I am wanting to get speed running for Unturned more popular. At the moment there is barely any people speed running it and I plan on changing it, not only do I know how to moderate the times I also can bring new runners to the site. I've only speedrun "Super Mario 64" before but when it comes to Unturned, I know everything about it. I'm also looking into adding new speed running category's for Unturned such as the new NPC quest lines on Russia, Hawaii, and Germany map. and also tweaking some times that are posted (one is a sony vegas pro timer instead of a split software). Thanks for reading, Hayden.
@haydenunturned contact GyroMan, he is active. If you want it to be popular then keep doing speedruns of it, that's the best way.
Aloha!
I'd like to become a mod or supermod for the game Mojo! for PS2 and XBOX (https://www.speedrun.com/Mojo)
Current super mod has gone AWOL for seven months and I've made what seems to be the only post on the whole page by asking (sort of) to be mod.
Requesting to become a moderator for Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar. I've tried contacting the two current mods several times and they have not responded, even though they are active on SRC/Twitch. It seems as though this game is going unmonitored.
@Yuuki-sama
This is a last resort thread incase the mods are inactive. Contact the supermod of the leaderboard.
http://www.speedrun.com/trtf5/full_game
Delete this game, please!
@garadas21 Where did he say that to you?
@Yuuki-sama Please read the first post of this thread.
@huxxny I can see the thread that was deleting. Trying to hide criticism by deleting it is one of the worst things you can do as a moderator. I'm sure you'll be promoted when an admin reviews this.
@haydenunturned Please read the first post of this thread.
@Paulister This is pretty clear cut. Added due to inactivity.
@Smelly_Mctroll I know lagdotcom fairly well, I'll get a hold of him.
@SpiderSponge87 Done.
@capes This is pretty clear cut. Added due to inactivity.
@Smelly_Mctroll I wanted Yogi to verify your run because he's much more comfortable with the console version. If he doesn't do it soon, I'll just mod you.
@rommaster2 in his channel during a stream. Also i contacted him in private and he said that he cannot add new moderators (???). I explained him how to do that and his answer was: "ok, good luck".
