I'll start off by saying that I understand that it takes time to verify runs and I'm not trying to stress the mods

However, there's literally 187 pending runs right now, it seems like you guys might need some more help...

Maybe create some mod apps to lessen the load?

Please don't use the forums for this topic, the sr4 community has already had this discussion before in the forums like 2 weeks ago and many more before that. I get that you want your run verified but runs have already started getting verified so wait patiently for your run. Sage and Relieved have gotten all runs verified before in the past but since they have school (idk if they do other stuff) and all of that they don't have much time for verifying runs. Also there is no point of trying to get more mods or anything like that since there is enough mods on the page to have all runs be verified. Unfortunately the other mods are mostly inactive and I guess they are just here as back up in case anything happens to sage or relieved like getting sick or something. I really don't see a point of having any of the other mods here besides Ivory since he is the owner, the other mods don't really do as much verifying as sage and relieved if anything all the mods should work together but of course they won't really care enough to do that. overall there is nothing you can do but wait, I have like 3 il records waiting to be verified and 6 more runs for speed run 4 classic which have sage, relieved, and Ivory as mods but it's the same thing since the others don't do as much as them. Just wait even if it's not fair, there is nothing you can do about it since I'm assuming the mod team doesn't have time or care enough about this whole situation of not enough runs getting verified. Also PLEASE stop posting forums about runs not getting verified you cannot do anything about it, that goes out to everyone who might try to see if it does something.

I do think it is pretty weird that there are only 7 mods for this game, as Celeste and Mario Odyssey, games that are less or about the same level of activity, have 15 or more.

@Lecheislit as I said at the start, I understand that it takes a lot of time and effort and that mods are not robots, but PRECISELY because they don't have a lot of time, they should get more people so that they won't have such a heavy workload. It's not that I'm impatient either, I don't really have any runs that need to be verified (I only have one bad one), it's just that have 187 pending runs on such a popular game is a really bad sign that there is a lack of moderators.

i would say much more than what i'm about to say but i only have 5 mintues to type this due to school

1. we would add more mods, but literally everyone we add goes inactive within 3 days
2. (for @supercrazestar) THANK YOU for thinking we have normal lives. almost nobody actually thinks mods are people with lives
3. (for @Lecheislit) you don't always have to respond to a forum in multiple paragraphs (maybe it's just me who thinks your posts are always long idk)
4. (for @JokerFactor) i agree and would advocate for more mods, but almost nobody is active enough (notice the almost)
5. i haven't done a mass verifying session in a while and i plan to do one today or tomorrow! so less forum complaints anyway gotta get ready for school, read this and bye

@sage211 Alright no stress, just do what you think is best for this leaderboard :D

ew why emoji

bud this isn't an application form

@JokerFactor I don't know what you mean by that but I better clear one thing up: I'm not making this forum to make myself a mod, I just think that there's too many runs for so few mods rn. Anyways to prevent further conflict I'm gonna stop responding on this forum unless it directly affects me

Ok, so I could mod again I really try to work this time instead of what you said, failing after 3 days. You could spam ping me to remind me if you really needed. Honestly I couldn't've cared less but now it takes like 3 weeks to get your run verified lol

@supercrazestar Oh I wasn’t talking about you, some guy came in here saying he would be a good mod or whatever. He must’ve deleted his post.

Yeah i deleted the message, just thought maybe should save it for another time,

Just realized not mod application oops

as much as i would love to add more mods to this game, the problem is present and i've said it repeatedly for around a year now that nobody actually wants to verify runs, usually new mods just go inactive right after being added after realizing the work load is a lot and nobody is willing to verify runs except for a few people. it's incredibly demotivating to verify a run and see 2 more come in at the same time, and that's why i havent been doing it as much. it's just a shitty situation for all of us

@Ivory then I recommend having like a “weekly quota” for runs to be verified. Hell, even a daily quota.

don’t forget that the mods have lives too, like the rest of us

I won't add a quota system, simply because i don't want to make it a "job" for anybody, or something that burdens them if they don't do it, as added stress is not needed and most all mods don't verify because they just don't have a lot of extra time on their hands above all else. @JokerFactor

I think I could be a good mod I'm incredibly active on the game but thats just me.

Same

I also know how to do that stuff,
