Sorry ROmaster, I am not trying to be impatient or rude, I'm just saying that he has had trouble in the past with another mod when the mod had nothing to do with anything. He just needs some help. I'm just fed up with him and ignoring me all the time.

and I really hope you do not think I am some shit mod, I am a pretty decent moderator for tons of discord chats, and other speedrunning communities. I was the one who retimed critikal multiple times when the running mods didn't know what to do.

I understand how to moderate a lot of communities

Edit: I very much understand how retiming and timing can go, but this run is seriously stupidly simple.

Hello, I'm one of the runners that submitted for Blameless. I submitted to the No Vsync category and got rejected twice two days ago. (This is after Jmak submitted his run btw). GyroMan (Current Mod) watched my run, moved it to the Any% category because it was "breaking the rules" and that made me think " Why are the other two runs on the No Vsync category still when my run literally does the same trick but in a different spot?" First place run He's has to get high enough to clear an invisible wall even goes oob for a second My run I need to get high enough to clear the normal wall then im oob. (Seems like the same thing to me) So I resubmitted and asked him why he moved my run. he said "Reason: sorry I didnt set up the rules properly, I have changed them (Only takes out the no exploiting rule). Also what about the "no glitching through walls" part? (Isn't going oob wallgltiching???) First place didnt alter that rule in any way". After this he hasn't responded to my defences to the other runs on the leaderboard even though he's logged in today not even touching any of the runs. I understand people have lives outside of speedrunning. I dont understand why someone with moderation logs in and does nothing for the games they moderate. Looking at Info says he logged on today but no new runs on Any%? Still no updates about the Glitchless category?? No update about my run??? I don't understand what the issue is.

Lets top it off. A few days ago there was a post on reddit about the Blameless"Glitchless" Category. Runner Lovebot gets a new PB using 144 fps and gets instant WR. The other runs are all in 60 fps making some of the sections slower because the game loads based off of fps. its been a 4 days and GyroMan refuses to do anything about it. Not changing rules, not moving runs, not making this Meme category fair for everyone and not even communicating with anyone to get everyone's thoughts and opinions. Even though its a meme category the ruleset should still be solid enough so everyone has the same chance to compete for that Juicy 30 second WR. BTW first place in Any% doesn't even start the timer in the right spot and still got accepted. Only like 0.7 seconds off but it matters in a 30 second category. Please remove Gyroman and add someone who actually cares about people enjoying 2 minute meme categories.

I am a huge fan of meme runs, as my runs say and I do take it very serious when it comes to timing and perfection. Thank you for the post and I did read up on lovebot's run on reddit which I find it ridiculous, he is just making it harder than it actually is. It's not hard to verify and control one game for speedrunning.

he doesn't even mod for a lot of games, only two and one has just been recently active.

He responded and rejected my run because he can't figure out that the two times are different. I retimed it myself and uploaded it with the time as the title because I stopped the timer too early before the run finished.

So i put the actual retimed time as the title of the video and he thinks the time is messed up.

Please consider removing his postion and giving it to another runner. Please and thank you.

just gonna chime in and pull this thread back to topic and request moderator for the Pokkén Tournament Series (src/Pokken_Tournament_Series), because there is currently no moderator for it - alternatively make AqUA_iGamer or Larry.exe moderator for the series. Thanks in advance.

or lets get this guy from blameless removed because he doesn't know what he is doing and make some new mods.

I whispered him on discord, I posted on the forum, I whispered him on twitch, I messaged him on discord, I posted on his steam profile, I really don't know what else to do.

The leaderboards on Mortal Kombat 4 have been a mess since 2015. I've reached out to the mod, Zen_Aku95 about the issue, and so have others in the community. However, we haven't been able to get him to work with us. On two occasions, people have been brought on to help mod this game, but Zen removed their mod status both times. He insists on structuring the leaderboard to suit himself rather than the community, and he will needlessly adjust the rules when the competition gets heavy. He has also blindly accepted some mistimed runs in the past.

Because of these factors combined, I am seeking to have myself and Brendon_Meares added as super mods while Zen_Aku95 be removed as a mod. We plan to bring a 3rd mod aboard shortly after. Then we can finally restructure the leaderboards to resemble the ones for other the games in the series.

@Jmak We will never remove someone based purely on the word of someone else without the right to a rebuttal. I got a response last night and, yes, he's been occupied. You will wait whether you like it or not. I suggest making a thread in the game forum regarding the criticism with the current moderator; I'll watch over it. His reason for rejection seems fair. If you disagree, mention it in the game forum.

@erose524 Fair enough. Give him a few days to notice the message. If he doesn't respond by the time an admin comes through this thread you may be promoted.

@HowDenKing What the...I remember you being modded? I re-added you.

@TheKombatKing I'll look into this shortly.

But there is only one inactive moderator of New Super Luigi U that needs to be replaced, LightOfEon. So, I need to be a moderator of this game.

@Andre_Williams One of the super mods for that game was online 5 hours ago, talk to them about it. This thread is meant to be a last resort for if the current mods can't be contacted or are refusing to help you without justification.

@loabs I did actually request to be a mod on that game too. I also tweeted at him a week ago. He has been active on twitter since that, so I guess he just ignored the message. Maybe he has a good reason for that, but I doubt it. :/

I would like to moderate Fine Sweeper. It has only one inactive mod and no runs, also I think the categories could use some work.
