the title says it all, i was wondering how long does it take for a run you submitted before it gets verified? days? weeks? or can it even last for months?

It wholly depends on how busy or active the mods are, could be minutes, could be weeks. If the mods of the game have been inactive for 3+ weeks IIRC, and are uncontactable on their social media you can request to be mod as a last resort.

thanks a lot for the clarification Doc Dave! guess i'll just keep on waiting on the run that i submitted.

I have runs from 2 games (Need for drink and Air control) awaiting verification since 2 weeks ago, and the mods are off since 1 month. If I wait one more week and everything stays the same, where can I request to be a mod?
