Mod Stuff (feat. No Drama or I Will End You)

Yo.

So some people in Discord were talking about updating the leaderboards a bit. Someone mentioned removing Boohead and Sarcrai due to inactivity and adding Snap, Michael, and Rhombus since they are always around in Discord and to help out and what not.

Also there was talk of potentially adding another supermod to the leaderboards as I myself have become a bit less active due to real life circumstances (running a business is hard yo). Do keep in mind, a supermod is not above anyone, but rather someone to help settle disputes. I'm cool either way no matter what people decide.

Ready, set, discuss. Play nice <3

P.S. Happy New Year Everyone <3 <3 <3

¤insert drama here¤

On a serious note: I would be down for switching mods around (removing Boohead and Sarcrai, ensuring that they are fine with that) and adding Snap, Michael and Rhombus, because they do appear pretty active around the forum / discord.

I would think we could add a new super mod, if people felt strongly about it. Once again, I would suggest we appoint Skozzy to this new position, because he is present and active with everything with the game and the leaderboards.

That's what I personally think. Happy New Year :)

I am definitely interested in the super mod position. I verify runs daily, and I'm always down to help people when they need it.

And Snap and Michael for sure deserve mod. Michael cares about the game and helps find timesaves, and I know Snap would verify runs.

Hey guys :D

If were able to remove three current inactive mods their wouldn't be a need to have to vote or choose anyone, but either way I'd be happy to state my case.

I've been a part of this community I believe since around September 2015, and although my times were heavily questioned I've become a solid part of the community and have been more or less consistently active since. "No matter how many times I've retired xD" I'd love to be able to have a bit of a stronger input on any future decisions and feel I could serve as a fair leader along with the other mods :) Typically I'm a levelheaded guy so I know when dealing with drama I feel I can respond without being offensive to either party.

Thanks guys!

Also I would like to add as drama free and as friendly as possible, maybe we should stick with one supermod, but with Adam being typically busy with IRL stuff it might be good to consider a new supermod? I love Adam to death so hopefully this doesnt offend him <3

I like the idea of HD as well for supermod. I see what Snap is saying... And I kind of agree with it. We could have him as mod and appoint someone else to super. What do you think of that, GC?

BETRAYED BY SNAP.

Nah haha. Look, I feel like I've proven myself, putting a large amount of work into this community and continuing to still try and help out solve issues, host events like the tournament or restreaming the relay race coming up, etc. Even if I don't run the game as much. Although I do think that I deserve to keep the rank, if other people don't agree then I'm not gonna be a douche about it. All you, community.

Nah, you deserve the rank, GC, without a doubt. You've helped guide the Community through thick and thin, and I don't think we'd be where we are right now without you.

Yeah Adam you do have a point, I totally forgot about that honestly, I've just been thinking about who actively runs, which doesnt even really matter lol. In that case two supermods wouldnt hurt anything I dont think. I mean it's just a different colored sword Kappa b

I mean not to toot my own horn but I think I'd be a good mod, as would the other people up for mod. I support the idea personally

I would agree with skozzy as well, he can get shit done most of the time, but he has stated he doesnt really want to be a part of the community. My second pick would probably be hd since he's ran this game since the old days and can sometimes be helpful :p.

Supermod skozzy. :^)

I want to be mod on the grounds that i want to be mod!

For new mods, I'd say no. Removing the inactive mods is a good idea, adding new ones though doesn't really serve to benefit the leaderboard or anything. The only benefit would be a status symbol to make the people who got it feel good about themselves. Runs already get verified much faster than 99% of other speedrunning leaderboards, and that's all speedrun.com mods do, does it need to be better than that?

As for a new supermod, I would also say no to that. If I had to pick one I would say Nimbus, because supermods should probably meet 3 qualities:

  1. Actually want to be a part of the community

  2. Don't frequently piss people off, intentionally or otherwise

  3. Make rational decisions, especially if supermods are looked to to make decisions, this would seem important

As far as I know, Nimbus fits the criteria, whereas the other options that I'm aware of all go against at least 2 of them.

I don't disagree with the first half of that, but I feel another super mod would be necessary, considering Adam isn't around much anymore, and it'd be nice to have another super mod to go to when we need something, such as settling a dispute.

I'd be fine with being supermod, it doesn't really mean much though. Either way it doesn't make a big difference. I'm very against the concept of adding most people here as supermods, I'll just be blunt and say that we've had many issues in the past with people abusing their ranks, and supermods are a hassle to remove and such, so I'd rather nobody get it other than Adam since it has no real benefit and a lot of potential issues. That said, whatever, both reasons that I don't take part in the community and that I often piss people off are valid, so I'm not a great candidate either as Death pointed out. If you guys really do want another supermod, I'd be willing to take the spot I guess. My vote would go to Nimbus as well, though. Smoof should also have his mod removed if we're being honest, he's surely not more active than either Sarcrai or Boohead. And I don't know how I feel about adding more mods, HD Nimbus and I are all very active with approving runs, we don't need more.
