So... I looked at the forum of the game you are talking about, and this moderator seems OK to me. -They said that the board is a work in progress, great boards don't happen overnight, especially if you can't afford to be on the site everyday. -They seem knowledgeable about the game and understood how the board is currently setup and is willing to make additional categories and such if people want to run them. Seems decent enough for a board with 6 runners total. -Agreeing with someone other than you doesn't make them a bad moderator. It means they have a different opinion. -Your post in the game's forum was also a little on the abrasive side so it's expected that a moderator would get defensive as well.

Did I address everything or did I miss a part of your argument?

If you're having an issue with a moderator, it's best to reach out to a Full Mod like Gyoo or ROMaster privately through Discord or Twitter or some way like that. You can tell them the issues and they can work towards a resolution with you.

It's not so important to go to the level of organization you are talking about unless the game becomes incredibly popular with a large number of runners. there are 6 runners and almost all of the categories have no runs submitted.... So perhaps this would be a bigger issue if there were more runners?

And maybe they aren't "bad" moderators but "NEW" moderators. Maybe they don't know what they are doing right or wrong. So maybe, if you think you know how to do the boards better, try using the Carrot instead of the Stick.

You posts on the game's forum come off as a bit uppity, so maybe changing your tone will actually resolve the issue and convince them to change things. But continuing down the abrasive route won't get you anywhere.

For instance, what if your original post on the game's forum was this instead: "Recently some changes had happened, such as new categories, and I have some feedback as to how to improve the boards further!

1. Adding Normal Categories could even out the board

2. Making the Difficulty a subcategory of the type of run would reduce clutter. Like making it Full game and Full game glitchless and then you choose the difficulty.

3. A NSW(No Silver Weapons) run would be awesome to have, I'm really interested in that category!

4. We should also probably have a 100% run, right?

5. We could make the IL's just be 8 boards with the difficulties being the subcategories.

6. Why are we adding Glitchless Any%? I'm curious as to what motivated this addition.

7. Clarifying the rules for each category would help quite a bit

8. What is defined as glitch and which mechanic failure can be used and not be considered as a glitch? Is changing weapons during M16A2 launcher reload to cancel the animation considered a glitch or just unintended mechanic exploit?

Please answer as soon as possible, because I'm really excited to continue running this game! thank you."

Did you not hear anything else i said about tone? ok then

bye

[quote]"Hope i helped" that's a joke right? I don't know how you can call yourself a mod, "any use of M16A2 should be considered a glitch" dude, stop bitching about M16A2, serious, go hit the bricks. [/quote] Regardless of anything other moderators of the leaderboard have done, your responses have been extremely hostile. Request denied.

Reminder that as a mod of a leaderboard, you have a responsibility to listen to the runners' opinions and not just enforce your own.
