Hello everybody, I would like to become a moderator for Disney's The Little Mermaid 2, as I submitted a run in mid-September and the moderator has been inactive for 4 months so far. I even left a message in the game's forum almost 20 days ago, but to no avail. https://www.speedrun.com/Disneys_The_Little_Mermaid_II
Hey, so all 3 mods for Sunset Overdrive have been gone for extended periods of time (1 month, 9 month, 1 year since last visit to the site), and none of them have a Twitter account I can contact them at.
Is it possible to be added as just a base mod that way I can verify any new runs, now that the game came out on PC?
Is there a particular reason why I was removed as regular mod for https://www.speedrun.com/Commandos_Behind_Enemy_Lines ( I wasn´t inactive) and some other random guy put in as supermod instead? Could you check that please.
Hi,
I've submitted a couple of runs for the game "Invisible, Inc.". It's been over a month now and the only moderator for the game hasn't been logged on to the site for over 2 months. I can't contact him on either twitter or discord since he seems to have deleted his accounts there. How would I go about getting my runs verified in this case?
@MadPunkerz Okay, since you have a pending run and the mod is 4 months inactive and there appears to be another run in the queue. There also appeared to be an issue with the runs on the leaderboard, so I re-saved all the runs so they show up now. Not exactly sure what the issue was there.
@Beardy You would need to have a sufficient run/set of runs of the game to be added as a mod via this avenue I'd say, we're not gonna add just anybody who asks because they want to verify runs. I've lowered Nacho to a standard mod due to being inactive for a year and tweeted at Taylib, the other Super Mod who has only been inactive for a month, informing him of the need for a PC addition as well as about your post.
@Molotok The prior super mod, @DeadShot, added @Aidereh and then removed himself. It appears Aidereh then removed you. Since you were only a standard mod, which gives super mods full capability to remove/add others, it's probably best taken up with @Aidereh.
@Derpidude I've messaged Maxdeny via Youtube, in an attempt to get hold of them about the runs, as they do appear to be using the site. If they don't respond or address the runs after several days, I'll consider adding you.
@Vanakyria Since you have runs pending, and the current mod doesn't appear to run the game (at the time of posting this) and on top of that appears to be inactive with several broken contact links, I've added you as a mod.
Unless there's been a new rule change, people have always been able to request leaderboards even if they don't run the game. Also I'm wondering how you got Taylib's Twitter, since he has no indication of having one on his SRcom profile or his Twitch or his Youtube.
[quote]Unless there's been a new rule change, people have always been able to request leaderboards even if they don't run the game.[/quote] This hasn't been true for a while. If you look at the game request page it specifically states you must have a run, done by you. That said, people being freely able to request leaderboards or request moderation without even an ounce of proof they run the game or will run the game is pretty careless I'd say, which is why right now we specifically require users going through this thread to at the very least be running the games they're requesting Mod for. How it was in the past isn't entirely relevant.

@Liv I won´t bother but I find it odd that a guy who hasn´t contributed anything to the game (neither running it nor participating on the forums) can simply get super mod rights gifted and then change moderation at his whim.. especially considering that @DeadShot was pretty much inactive for over a year before he suddenly made those changes and didn´t even communicate beforehand.
I know thosecrazyguys still actively runs the game so if another mod is needed for sunset overdrive perhaps contact him.
Hi The game windowframe had 1 mod i believe and i requested a few runs to be look at and it says he has been offline for like year, haha maybe you can make me a mod for that game so i can get a run on the leaderboards myself
pretty sure pulling teeth is far worse then waiting or maybe contacting the mods directly if need be, or better yet offer help and work with them so its not an issue in the future and make things better for everyone. All depends of the people, and we are only human flawed and helpless to the mercy of ourselves and life its self.
Having to wait is like pulling teeth. 🤔 What is a joke is some people's patience.
@Tokonata The mod is active, ask them.
I'm experiencing unusual issues with "Gran Turismo" series. Especially with the "Gran Turismo 2" title. Emulators are not allowed and aren't added as category, thread here: https://www.speedrun.com/gt2/thread/e3vph
Okay, I understood moderator's decision. Supermoderator already blocked me on Discord when I complain about this, thanks to Thebook92 community got feedback, why emus are not allowed (dont understand why the category wasn't added)
I post new thread, where I noticed my ideas, thread here: https://www.speedrun.com/gt2/thread/h0eom Community already said that IL boards (With "license runs") should be removed, because there are on cyberscore with better times (Here: https://www.cyberscore.me.uk/game/342 ). I also wrote it to the thread above. Moderator said: "We'll leave the ILs that are already there (since, you know, they're there), but we're not going to add any new categories."...... for unknown reasons, never responded back. Can you, PLEASE, leave the Gran turismo series on me? Check my profile, I keep the boards simply, clean, fair and for everyone. Gran turismo leaderboards are "blocked" and dead because of them. I have knowledge with this series, I'm playing GT2 over 12 years... Just want to bring leaderboards back to live, thats all :) .
Thanks.
Their choice on whether to allow emulation is up to them, really. I'm not gonna contest them and force emulator onto the boards against their will.
I also don't entirely see how it's pointless to have ILs just because Cyberscore has them. Especially so because Cyberscore has so many listings with what seems like no actual run proof, just pictures or even... nothing at all provided?
Forcing out the moderators would just cause more issues than appointing you would fix, if I had to take a guess. I think it's a bit of a stretch to request the GT series be laid onto you due to the above requests, overall.
GT4, for example, is one of the biggest games on Ps2 and there is only Any%, nothing else. The "License runs" in GT2 wanted to remove Super Mod himself, thread here: https://www.speedrun.com/gt2/thread/xb10o (He also wanted to do it in every title but suddenly, he don't care about series yet)
I never said that I want to approve emulators, I wanted to split consoles and emulators. I don't see anything bad since I'm not alone who are interested. It's a joke to require original console from 90s to be listed on the boards. But okay, that's not the worse thing than the License runs in ILs... The game have tons of other events which should be added instead. I welcome any title from series that I can save by myself, especially GT2 or GT4.
Thanks.
First thing first. This site isn't going to let you force emulator onto a board that doesn't want it, regardless of emulator accuracy or lack thereof. If the GT series doesn't want emulators then emulators aren't being on their boards, and all you can do with that is either try and convince the mods to change their opinion or deal with emulator not being on the boards. Seeing as you tried the former and failed (as the mods know the state of their game's emulation quite well), the latter will simply be the result until the former changes. As a final note on emulation, the N64 is also from the 90s (released 1996) and is still emulated quite poorly comparatively, so age of the console is irrelevant here for how good the emulator is.
Secondly, they did add Arcade mode based on your request in October when you first brought up emulation to them on the 12th of October, per one of the moderator's responses on the 16th of October, and they themselves directed you to Cyberscore if you want a whole slew of ILs. Speaking from experience on another game, ILs of most games that have several full-game categories of decent length are generally underutilized by the community, and so are not usually added to most games. The demand is not there.
Finally, everything I've seen from my perspective as a fellow user tells me the game is run quite fine and is in no way in need of a coup like the one you are attempting. The site mods are not new to this and have seen it many times in the past. And as a fellow user of the site, forcing whole-team moderation changes singlehandedly when the mod(s) aren't inactive is underhanded and insulting.
