@drewlmd This isn't quite the place to try to contact a mod from the game, you can try asking http://www.speedrun.com/botw/forum there or asking gymnast86 on twitter

I would like to request alwin606 to be removed as mod for http://www.speedrun.com/Vex_3 and place me or hunterboy52, he has been offline for months with no way to reach him, and has been absent for 2 posted runs of the game. I know no other way of solving this, please send help.

I asked to him to follow me to speak about mercury hg on speedrun.com, but It would be more faster to make me moderator of the game ^^

Please contact the moderator before anything. Also, I don't see any pending run of yours. It should be better if you had some, so you have an actual reason to ask for moderation rights.

Further to what Gyoo said, you don't get to just bypass the fucking procedure by saying "It would be faster to just mod me"

That would defeat the purpose of the procedure that's in place, wouldn't it? This site is ran by volunteers, not paid staff, and it's selfish to force extra work on them that is the result of you not taking the prescribed steps first.

HelIo I would like to be a mod for the Disney Epic Mickey series. The current moderators arent adding in certain platforms, because they have been inactive and multiple runners (including me) have not been able to submit their PC runs because of that.

@Gavinscousin - Have you tried contacting them on their social media links? This is a last resort thread, and you are expected to have tried to contact the mods. Mopsi was on 1 hour ago, their last stream was 18 hours ago, and their last youtube video 22 hours ago. They even have a discord account connected, which would be an excellent way to contact Mopsi. Noir on the other hand, although they have been off the site for 15 days are active on twitter, has uploaded a youtube video, and was last live on Twitch until one hour after you posted this.

Sorry to keep bothering you guys, but I think I was removed as moderator of the StreetPass series ( https://www.speedrun.com/streetpass ) by accident when some games were added to it, since now it has no mods at all.

EDIT: never mind, I have mod access again.

@ Marrow - Still looks like you're mod for the series to me.

ROMaster2: I'll try to go through this another day. It's a lot to look at.

KPCzombie: Added.

Someone000: Reviewing things and trying to recall from memory. My recollection is either the board was just empty and/or the categories were set up poorly, so I added him after he made a post in this thread in late February on that basis. You may have also been inactive at that time, I don't recall the specifics. The site log suggests the board was empty, but it's possible the log isn't logging something relevant.

PojeBunny: This situation is complex. I'll add you back as super moderator for now since you self-removed a few weeks ago, but I'm not going to remove him at the moment. Reviewing the logs, it does not look like the moderators were neglecting to verify your runs in the order of the queue. It's hard to say definitively without a very thorough review, but it really doesn't look true to me. Series moderation is in somewhat of an ambiguous hierarchical state still and the order people were added with regard to this game also makes things complex.

Beardy: I think it's at least fair to say that two people in a disagreement in this thread aren't going to successfully moderate a game together. I current manage how the game request form gets processed, and I think arguing about who did a week 1 speedrun first is ridiculous.

SpectreXS: Added.

(More in next post)

Ozotuh: Ok

Balletdancergabe31: It looks like you were added. Series mods are allowed to add the games and set them up for runs if desired.

drewlmd: Generally the answer is ask on the game page forums, however, since you don't have a run I doubt they're going to add you.

daedlus: It looks like you were added.

kohlmannm: You posted like twice in two days. I don't read this thread daily or I would probably lose my mind. Since the run has been pending a long time this is fine.

AntoninZeKing: If you had a run pending, I'd probably add you.

gavinscousin: I'd recommend making a forum post on the game(s). I don't know if they want PC tracked in the same game or separately. I also can't see a run by you, possibly becuase your youtube link doesn't work.

Marrow: I think Streetpass was deleted for being empty or something? Then I re-added(?) it based on your earlier post and forgot to add you as a moderator until you posted because I am dumb.

Why even have a requirement of providing a video when requesting a game if you're not even going to spend a minute or 2 checking whether or not it actually adheres to it? The issue here is that every single time something like this happens, where somebody does some shit with getting a leaderboard, you always fall back on the excuse that you're overloaded with work and have x amount of processes to go through.

It's the absolute laziness that irks me more than this random person playing victim.

It's just a board, her original submitted run must not have been that casual if current 1st place is only 26 seconds faster than what she has now, she clearly runs the game

@kirkq Thank you for adding me to Super Moderators, but neverthless I'll still insist on removing others. I'm bound to my judgment on their incompetence. There are people much more fit for moderating in our community, like mr @FireFox that are dedicated to cooperation with others instead of fulfilling their ego.

Thank you once more @kirkq

Edit 1: I haven't noticed before as I didn't have a reason to check the CMR series, but the person mentioned (potato) went around moderators of CMR games and has requested CMR 2005 two weeks ago, which has been accepted and added by the administration. He is attempting to enforce his rule "somewhere" even though he is incompetent and rude towards other members (this week we had to disciplinary mute him on our Discord because he was breaking the rules and when reasoned with in Private kept on going in Public). We are unable to supervise him 24/7 on his actions, so I'd like to try to persuade you again @kirkq, into reconsidering my proposal.

Edit 2: CMR 2005 might have been added by my hand. I'm unsure about that and I may have to apologise. Anyway, the above still stands.
