Leaderboards moderation requests thread
9 years ago
Netherlands

The normal "inactivity" guideline is 3 weeks, and even then, it's advised to seek contact with JackofHearts either via Twitter or whatever means. He has his twitter on his profile. If he doesn't care about the game anymore, you could ask him to either make you a (super)-mod and/or remove himself from the mod-team. Mind you this thread is a last-resort type of thing.

Problem is, us two runners tried to contact him ... No response at all. He also said himself he wouldn't run the game unless his time gets beaten and moved onto other games =\ I wouldn't go through here if I had news or at least, a bit of a news. Sorry though ... Won't disturb anymore =$

Hello!

I will explain my situation quickly and brief: I am a moderator for the Ratchet and Clank leaderboards, and a couple months ago, me and my friend made a joke leaderboard for one of the upcoming games in the series at the time (It's something I wont really do anymore since its lead to many others in the community doing the same thing and its gotten too far), and even though it says im a mod of the leaderboards, it will not let me verify, or remove runs, or anything.

Is there a way to fix this? or is there someone I can contact to discuss this further? thank you. (first time using a thread on this site)

I know JackofHearts personally, so I'll contact him tonight and ask what's up.

@Skritler which board exactly?

GhostScit: 10 mods available and 4 days pending isn't really within the scope of this thread. Cleaning up moderation to accurately reflect active and/or interested people could probably be discussed on that game's forum.

Beardy: Even if the button is there, I'm not sure if it lets moderators do it or not. Lighnat0r has been testing moderator logs with the site staff the last week or two, so we can get information about things being deleted much more easily now. This concern may be less relevant.

Jezs: To be fair the interface to do so isn't particularly obvious/intuitive. It looks like the moderator added them. All game requests can go through either series moderators or site staff for now. Site staff may send you to series moderators in some cases. The game request form only goes to site staff right now.

Deln/Ozotuh: Like Jezs says, series mods can add new games directly tied to the series. It's expected they stay within the scope of the series. They cannot remove the series tag, so it's blatantly obvious if someone tries to do something dumb.

Spleen: User is months inactive, ok.

Dracula013: Try posting in the game forum for now. The active user may get notifications on forum threads. If this stays an issue for another week or two, we can look at adding mods.

Leonis07: Would be better to create a game forum thread and/or try to contact the user for now. If this stays an issue for another week or two, we can look at adding mods.

Skritler: Wouldn't the site be awesome if everyone did this meme? (Probably not.) I don't see the game in question, maybe you deleted it?

Hi could you add me as a mod to speedrun.com/rcrevenge I just submitted a run, and I haven't had a reply from the only 'active' mod. 2 of the mods are completely inactive and non of the mods run the game.

I'd also like to change the layout of the page too, which hasn't been changed in a year. https://i.gyazo.com/003c8d5efb1414cb23d4d2f335ea59dc.png

I am always available to discuss moderation of the RC Revenge runs (I have yet to submit any of my runs for it, after all!). I understand that people want their runs verified quickly but it hasn't even been a day.

Hey guys,

I need to be bumped up to Super Mod status on the Street Fighter series, so I can bring on a bigger crew. I've been verifying new Street Fighter runs nearly every day for the last couple weeks without any help. The lone Super Mod for the series has apparently dropped off the map. Some Street Fighter speedrunners and I have been trying to contact him for the last month and we can't get a hold of him.

Thanks.

What happened to the option "Series moderators have power here" (or something like that)? I wanted SkeletN to change that for http://www.speedrun.com/Prince_of_Persia_The_Sands_of_Time because that option was enable quite a while ago (before the layout update happened) so we have active super mods again but that option seems to be gone? Hope someone can help me :)

iirc it's gone because we figured it is not relevant for many cases. If you want series mods to moderate games of the series you have to add them to each game.

@lozblind yes, series mods dont automaticly have mod anymore in all games in the serie.

Mastoise: Moderator inactivity is defined as around 3 weeks. It is not at all required that people log in daily to moderate runs.

TheKombatKing: Moved you up to super because it makes too much sense.

tocaloni1: That option was removed in the update a few months ago regarding games in multiple series and other items. It was mentioned in that update thread. I'll move you up to super since the super is a bit inactive.

NeverSeenIt: The moderator is active, please try contacting them first.

"I would also like to suggest new categories as well as help xShiko moderator."

It should also be noted that you can do the first of these things without needing to be a moderator. And you can do the second, to some extent.

Hello,

The moderator for Wii Party has been inactive on speedrun.com and across all of his linked social media accounts for 6 to 7 months. I would like to request super moderation of this game so i could get runs verified.

Thank you!
