Leaderboards moderation requests thread

Just change the faded "Enter a reply..." text before you type a comment on this board to a list of things/steps to do BEFORE posting here and that this is a last resort. Seems simpler than cleaning up the board to one page or anything like that and they have to see it before posting.

Yes, but that also makes the assumption that people read the title too.

hey, i am requesting the removal of http://www.speedrun.com/ffiv-interlude (supermod being away for over a month already), plus the Interlude is only a part of the other game "FF4: The After Years", the main board for TAF was accepted and is already doing transition. http://www.speedrun.com/ff4tay

Edit: contacted the current supermod on twitter so im waiting for her answer as well.

Edit 2: the super mod has agreed to it but seem like she need to contact an admin: https://twitter.com/LovenityJade/status/722110818297491456

Can I have super mod for the Tail' Gator leaderboard http://www.speedrun.com/Tail_Gator ? Currently there is no super mod for that leaderboard and the only normal mod and "WR holder" was using an inaccurate and banned gameboy emulator for his run (Visualboy Advance) and as gameboy speedrunner I would not feel comfortable with him as moderator when he does not even know which gb emulators are commonly accepted. Rules also haven't been defined yet which I would immediately. I am currently routing the game and will start doing runs as soon as possible.

Hi, I'd like to be added as a mod to Quantum Of Solace ( http://www.speedrun.com/qos ) as the mod is inactive and I am an active runner of the game. I have checked the forums for what to do with an inactive mod on a game and have found nothing, so if there is a better solution please lay it on me. Thanks! :D

@InfiniteSheldor He hasn't been on this site in a month, but his YouTube and Twitter seem pretty active. Have you tried to contact him through those means?

@MarioManTAW No, I couldn't think of any way of not making it sound rude or impatient and I wasn't sure what to do :/ There's a Twitter post he made of a pic of the site since he was last online... So yeah, I haven't because I didn't know what would be the best thing to do :/

Okay thanks Token. I've contacted him on Twitter. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

Can you remove Dchaps and SephJul as super mod from the Resident Evil 5 boards? I have some new people in mind. EDIT: They've been inactive for a long time¤

@RE_Snow Moderator inactivity does not apply until 3 weeks. Dchaps was on 1 week ago. SephJul, on the other hand, hasn't been on in a month, so the mods can probably remove him. You should have the power to add new mods, though.

I mean for RE5 only. Neither of them have ever accepted a run or rejected one. Nor posted on a topic or any activity in RE5 that I've seen.

pld: He's very active and runs a lot of games, I'd recommend discussing it with him. I think only certain SRL racers would know the preferred GB emulators. Many people don't race or run GB games, so I wouldn't really consider it common knowledge.

InfiniteSheldor: It looks like it was sorted out for now. This is the correct thread for the requests.

RE_Snow: Considering that neither of them run this game, and they're mostly there from the previous splitup of RE games, and haven't seemingly been active with this game, I think this is fine.

Thanks Kirk!

@kirkq Thank you, that's a long middle finger you are showing to the gb speedrun community who is caring about gb speedrunning and its accuracy. Just because the community is not as big as other communities does that mean we should not care about fair circumstances and we can use whatever we want? Sorry, that's not going to work neither in communities with hundreds of people nor in smaller communities with 30 people.

FYI it IS common knowledge that VBA is a bad emulator like ZSNES for SNES or NESticle for NES. You don't have to race on SRL to know these things (I have maybe raced 5 times in 2 years). Thanks for your time anyways.

EDIT: I informed both moderators at that time 2 months ago and it has not happened anything (http://www.speedrun.com/Tail_Gator/thread/hqmab).

VBA is a commonly used inaccurate emulator, Pokemon community stated it even inaccurate for IGT purposes for pokemon sapphire. It's as common as saying ZSNES and PJ64 are inaccurate.

pld: You're taking my words out of context. I don't see why someone would intentionally use an inaccurate emulator for a small board unless they simply didn't know that there was a preferred emulator. There is not currently a page on this site detailing emulator information. I'm not at all saying it's correct to use VBA for GB games. I did ask you to discuss it with him. You've now added the information that you had made a post a while ago, which I was not aware of previously. The user also may not follow that game. The site interface should probably do more to ensure that people get notifications for things pertaining to games they moderate.

Under your implied solution it would appear I should immediately remove any GB game moderator who without knowing the norms, uploads a VBA run, instead of trying to resolve the circumstances through discussion. I think there are better solutions than this.

I'll send him a Twitch PM.
