Hey, so for Fear Perseus Mandate the mod has been offline since September. I have tried contacting him around the time I submitted a run for Extraction point, but he never got back to me on his twitter.

Hello, I've submitted a run over a month ago and couldn't get in touch with the moderator. They haven't logged in for over 3 months, their Twitch link is broken and nothing has been uploaded on their Youtube for over 4 years. They also don't have any other socials available linked on their profile.

Thanks in advance.

I have several runs pending under https://www.speedrun.com/armello and it's been over 3 weeks for them. The one mod for the game https://www.speedrun.com/shaddex hasn't been online in over a month. I've tried reaching out to them over twitter but have had no response. I would be willing to mod Armello, but I have no experience in being a mod.

@Liv I tried a direct message through twitter yes, but I'm unable to make contact. I get a "can't be messaged" under their name when I try. I've left a DM here on the site in the hopes that they will see it when they next log in also.

@Desolis - Tweet at them instead (mention them in a tweet). This is something you can do regardless of what the intended recipient's settings are, and they will get a notification that they were mentioned in a tweet.

@Liv just checking in to see if you had any luck the past week or so in contacting moderators.

I’m going to be running Ganbare Goemon: Hoshizorashi Dynamites Arawaru!! (Game Boy Color) in a marathon in early June (NASA 2020), and I would really like to set the run rules and other categories in case other runners would like to take a crack at it. I would also be able to validate runs instead of them being in pending for months.

Thank you for your help with this, I appreciate it!

Hello I am moderator in https://www.speedrun.com/mad_tracks and there is a problem with @alexinho.k He is a super-mod, but posted only one run (about two years ago) and then did nothing to leaderboard (did't verify runs, answered on forum only once, at the very beginning). The game has recently got new release and we expect new speedruners, so we are working on a good looking of a leaderboard and inactive moderator isn't good thing. @kiraa96 (the other mod) and I tried to write to him on facebook (it seems to be only contact method to reach him) but when he finally answered, he treated us in a rather rude way and of course rejected to resign from being moderator. If it is needed, I can send screens from this conversations with him. @alexinho.k is also inactive on speedrun.com for I think 3 months, but logged once or twice, one month ago, just after we wrote to him, probably because he wanted us not to have the argument against him that he is inactive. I will be grateful for positive consideration of my request. Maltaran

@Maltaran - Will look into this.

@Daldameht - The moderator appears to have verified your run (within 15 minutes of you submitting it, even), so I don't think there's an issue here. If there are issues with the leaderboard please make a forum post in that game's forum so the moderator can address them. Also I went ahead and fixed the game URL because... yeah. https://www.speedrun.com/beyond-perception

I would like to see what can be done about Legend of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse.

It appears that the moderator has not been on the site in over a month and it doesn't look like they're active on Twitch much these days. I have tried to reach out to them via Discord over the weekend but to no avail; I have since tweeted at them just this morning but I also don't want to harass them too much considering the current circumstances going on.

I have a slough of runs for this game going back 27 days that have yet to be verified. Is there anything that can be done here?

[edit]

NM! They've responded. :)

Hello all. I am writing in hopes to take over the Snow Bros. 2 board: https://www.speedrun.com/snow_bros._2_with_new_elves I have a run that has been pending for a month. Mod hasn't been on this site for 9 months. I tried to contact him through Twitch whisper and Twitter, has not responded. Have a great day everyone.

Hi, I am a moderator of https://www.speedrun.com/dragon_escape and I would like to request for the removal of super-mod Cerdax.

There's a little bit of backstory I will have to explain first:

Before Izraill retired, it used to be me (a moderator) and Him (super-mod). A week ago, He decided to resign from communities He wasn't active on, and before resigning He replaced himself with some new mods (Illumina who is a super-mod, BlueCrysta004 who is a mod, and Cerdax who is a super-mod). The problem is however, Cerdax was banned for cheating 2 years ago, and unbanned a year ago. He is also on a watchlist (as are all formerly banned players are). Izrail didn't know of Cerdax's history (because He wasn't very active on Dragon Escape, He left me to watch over Dragon Escape as He looked over other Minecraft speedruns), so He made Him mod before He left a few months after Cerdax requested Him for mod. I do not think it would be a stretch to say someone who has had a history of cheating, and is even on a watchlist, would be a good fit to become mod (let alone super-mod, but that was a mistake from what I heard, Izrail only meant to make Him verifier).

If you are interested in His ban, here's a link to it (by Tac, when He was mod). https://www.speedrun.com/dragon_escape/thread/44msj

If you want to verify what I said, I can give you screenshots from Illumina. I first assumed Illumina was the one who gave Cerdax mod, but after Illumina talked to Izrail (of which screenshots I do not have), Izrail told Illumina it was a mistake. https://imgur.com/a/jNpaHGy

You can also directly ask Izrail through the connected social media apps (twitter works best for me) he has on his src account if you want to be absolutely sure. https://www.speedrun.com/user/Izraill

Hey id like to become a moderator for The Room Three (https://www.speedrun.com/theroomthree). None of the moderators are active on discord and ive got 2 wr runs pending.

California, USA

@Liv Thanks for trying to reach out to the mod. I've updated my account with contact info. Sorry, I didn't see anything in this threads original post about needing contact info, only the email authentication requirement. I've since added a few contact methods. Let me know if there's anything else you need from me!

Hi! I am interested in moderating the Just Dance Series and some of the Just Dance Games. I cannot contact the mod because the only mod deleted their account. Can I become a mod for the Just Dance series and games?

United States

@KateLibC - Noticed you got in touch with the user on Twitter. Will give them a few days to handle this, but I'll also keep an eye on the situation.

@Peanutfan22 - Their twitter is decently active. Tweeted at them, will give them a few days to respond. Also fixed the category name to remove an extraneous % at the start.

@Maximus - Forwarded this on to other F-Mods. Trying to just clear through these requests nicely before I head out and do a few things IRL and simply do not have the time at the moment for it. There's a lot to unpack here and this seems to be an issue that would not have happened if site staff knew of this back in 2018 when it happened. Anyway. This will get looked into, just not right this second.

@TaruDuck - User grossly inactive, handled.

@frep - Declined. Your runs are only pending two weeks and there is still a moderator considered active. In addition, your account is not yet a month old. If the situation is unchanged in a week, attempt to contact the moderators (Guilvegane's twitter is active).

@JXjunk - Declined. You don't have any runs in any game of the series.

@snipingchicken - As @Liv is handling this, did not act here.

Hi, I submitted several Runs of Commander Keen 1,2 and 3 on March 3. However, none of them have been verified yet although the mod (capnclever) logged on a few days back. I reached out to him on Twitch.tv and send him a message but he is not responsive. Any help? If I became a mod of the game Keen 1 or the series (Keen 1 is more important to me) I could verify my own runs and those of others, this would be much easier. I know the game(s) well enough and I already have about ten verified runs on the leaderboard of Keen 1.

The moderator for "Pizza Dude" https://www.speedrun.com/pizza_dude has been inactive for 2 years and propably will never verify my run. Could you make me the new moderator for this game? Thank you.

Hi, would you mind allowing me to be a Super Mod for Heroes of Might and Magic III? I am a current mod of the game; I believe there were a couple forum posts removed and would like to look into it, among taking care of the main responsibilities that a regular mod cannot.

Hi, I would like to request becoming a super mod for Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time https://www.speedrun.com/samurai_jack_the_amulet_of_time . The only moderator was last online 1 year ago and I've submitted 4 runs all of which break the WR, with the oldest one being submitted 27 days ago and the newest being 2 days ago none of which have been accepted. The rules for all the categories are horribly worded and don't actually explain when the run ends properly. I've reached out to him on youtube through a comment 3 days ago but he hasn't gotten back to me. I would like to be able to set up the leaderboards properly as well as actively moderate the game into the future.
