I'm new to these forums and I want to apply for one in one of the games I speedrun. But I first like to know what are the differences between them, if there's any that is significant. Also, where do i apply to become a super/mod for a specific game? And yes I am VERY knowledgeable in that game, far more than the current mods for that game.

I hope i posted this topic in the right forum.

the only difference afaik is that supermods can add/remove mods

The first step to becoming a mod is to message the current supermods. If they are unresponsive or otherwise troublesome, you can post in this thread to have the issue resolved by a global mod.

edit: supermods can also add other supermods

I see. By the way, do they both have the power to verify and reject runs? Seeing as I'm pretty much the only active speedrunner for this game I run, I might as well apply for supermod, not like it sounds like it's any more beneficial but looks good :)

Thank you CrystalChaos for the quick response. I will get right to it. I have runs to submit but due to a recent fiasco with the current last active mod on that game with another player, he is sort of becoming a jerk about it and somewhat abusing mod powers. I can message a supermod to become a mod but what about becoming supermod? Do you know anything about this?

If there is abuse of mod powers in some way, you can post about it in the leaderboard moderation requests thread that I linked earlier, and the global mods will take care of it.

supermods can make people supermods as well
