Hi, so I sort of need a mod for https://www.speedrun.com/dpa

The only other mod had gone inactive about six months ago and apparently they're not coming back.and I need someone to verify a run for me and all that, and the place could use someone to keep it tidy and stuff.

I'm currently the only active mod for Vanquish, with the supermod Flicky having left the speedrunning scene long ago. We would like to get another moderator added, so that there will be an active runner available for moderation and to add additional categories that current runners are interested in. While the supermod issue should probably be addressed eventually, and I would accept that role if need be, for now it would be very helpful if @Nordanix could be added as a moderator. Thank you!

@halfcoordinated I upped you to Super Mod, as there should really be an active super mod on every game just to sort of prevent these issues happening and having the sole Super Mod be someone who has been offline for multiple months is kinda not desired. Added Nordanix, also.

Hello, long time problem here would love to have some help.

For Rise of the Dragon there is a Just 1 any% category for all versions. The difference between the sega cd and ms dos versions make the sega CD version take almost exactly twice as long to complete. Ive asked for the boards to be separated probably a year back (twice) with no response. Ive reached out to the sole mod on twitch as well with no response. Ive posted to the games forum with no response. I forgot about it for a long while even though it was bugging me but when a third runner joined the boards a few weeks ago I reached out to the mod one last time to attempt to split the boards but they just dont respond. Can someone please help? Ive gone through all normal procedure and no progress has ever been made. Id appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey, I'd like to be added as a mod for Brawl Minus. I asked about adding a new category in the forums about three weeks ago, and got no response. I tried contacting mods through their speedrun.com profiles, but either they did not respond to me or do not have any social media accounts linked to them. Others in the Smash speedrunning discord have mentioned that they are inactive too, so I would be willing to fill a mod position for the game.

The leaderboard mentioned is here: https://www.speedrun.com/Brawl_Minus/full_game

@CountGooby Neither one of them is inactive on the site tho, try some more - maybe they just have notifications disabled. (maybe try submitting a run for that requested category so they know it'll not stay empty cuz "you plan to run it")

I have already done a run of the category and linked them a video to use. I'll try asking the ones with linked social media accounts on their other accounts and see if that helps.

Hi, I would like to be added as a moderator for Ridge Racer 2 (https://www.speedrun.com/Ridge_Racer_2) as the only moderator there has been offline for 5 months, I have tried contacting them on twitter 8 days ago and they have completely ignored me (but have been active on twitter), I have a WR run awaiting verification

@NickDoane Contacted the current mod via twitter and pointed them to your thread on the forum. For these types of specific cases, we usually just leave it to the discretion of the community ourselves as we don't directly want to interfere with how boards are laid out / operated if that makes sense, because then we're effectively telling mods how to run their boards. Some games simply don't like to separate versions into tabs as they feel it makes excess clutter, but hopefully if/when the mods responds you guys can work this out.

@CountGooby None of the mods are inactive, and 3 have outside contact methods assigned to their profile. [quote] I'll try asking the ones with linked social media accounts on their other accounts and see if that helps.[/quote] It's bizarre to me why this hasn't already been done before posting here...

@DarkJarris I've tweeted at the mod and informed them of your post. I'll give them a couple days to respond / address the issue. If they do not, I can get around to adding you. That said, they were last online 24 days ago, not 5 months ago. You'll need to look at the info section on their profile to find the last online date, and not the date their most recent run was submitted.

I hate to ask for help again but ive tried contacting both mods for dawn of war (the first one this time) to get my runs verified but no success, i odd part is some of my runs were verified (25 days ago) and i assumed when the next day when i put up the rest of the runs they would be similar but 24 days have passed with no word. I dont necessarily want to be a Mod for the game when theres two others but i think at this point if i have to so things along i will but if you have better luck getting a hold of one of them and can get them to look at my runs then i would be more than happy with the result.

thank you for your help here and the last time as well.

Hey what's up. I've had a run of Arizona Sunshine (https://www.speedrun.com/Arizona_Sunshine) awaiting verification for quite a while now but the mod seems to be inactive. His profile says he was last online 5 months ago. I've tried contacting him but haven't been successful.

Hi, I'd like to be added as a mod for Shadowrun (https://www.speedrun.com/Shadowrun_SNES). I submitted a run over 3 weeks ago that still hasn't been verified. Jiseed has never verified any run except his own any% run over a year ago. Fuxissimo has last been seen over 8 months ago and seems to be MIA without any way to be contacted.

Thank you.

Jiseed still has contacts, have you tried contacting them?

@NickDoane Just thought I would say here, they've separated the platforms. So, this issue is resolved.

@FuyuCielo69 You don't appear to have any prior or pending run in the game, and it makes little sense to add you taking that into consideration. That said, neither of them have been inactive for 11 months, but both have been for a single month however. You're looking at last run submission date, not last online date. Please consider contacting them first as they both have many contact methods, but if someone who has a run wishes to respond here, then they may do so. There does not appear to be any pending speedruns for this game, currently.

@wilderjoe Cyber appears to have since verified your runs. I know Cyber is very active on twitter, so it'd be worth simply @ ing them (not DM, DMs are too much of a hassle due to needing to follow) on there for any future issues.

@SerScruffington Since you have a pending/prior run and the current mod has been offline for 5 months, added.

@Fizztastic Messaged both mods, I'll give each a couple days to respond/address the situation. If they do not, then I will add you. Jiseed does indeed not appear to be verifying runs currently. That said, even if moderators are "active" on the site, it is still an issue if runs are being left for extremely long periods (3+ weeks) and we will look into these situations as inactivity all the same.

edit: Mod has responded regarding Shadowrun and appears to have verified your run, they also noted they'll look into adding another mod.

Howdy. I've had a run waiting for Factory Balls 2 for 2-3 months. Mod of the game hasn't been online in 7 months and his twitter link isn't accurate, so I have no way to contact him. Would be happy to take over mod duties for the game. Thanks!

Hi there, I was just curious as to if there was a way to remove mods from a board. the two mods are TomSinister and WERY. the boards are these. https://www.speedrun.com/sf3ng https://www.speedrun.com/sfawd https://www.speedrun.com/sfa3 https://www.speedrun.com/sf3si https://www.speedrun.com/sf3ts They have not been on in a year or more and do not help at all. If not no big deal. Was just wondering if its possible. Thank you for your time.
