Too long verify new runs

This was no case of "bad English". We've had other people in the community that are not too good with English and nobody had to go as far as to talking about what I'm doing with my body, the translators are not so bad that they will just accidentally put "guy who thinks he's a girl" into a post. That literally cannot happen without you writing something at least close to it. Besides, what I do with my body doesn't have an impact on my moderation skills, so there was absolutely no reason to point it out.

I have 2 jobs, obviously I only have time on the weekends to verify runs. Now I'm running a 3 day marathon which is like 16 hours of stress 3 days in a row. Doesn't happen all the time, but when I'm running a marathon, that month is gonna look pretty bad.

We got one new moderator so far, one other applied but wasn't qualified for the position unfortunately. However, our moderation team clearly sees that there's no interest from the community to verify runs - the runners don't have 3 hours on hand. Maybe someone will still message us, but it's just not looking too good. Happens with long runs a lot.

Now your friend did not politely come and ask about his verification. He just came in accusing everyone, blaming us for not having time, naming people that "are interested in moderating" (none of them ever messaged us about it, one of them even confirmed that they don't have time for that, why lie about other people runners as well?). Then he chose to talk about my private life which is none of his business and has no relation to this whatsoever.

We've always been friendly to our community, if someone reminded us of verification, we usually explained the queue or just verified it because someone claimed it and forgot to do it or suddenly didn't have time. We've been creating categories based on the community's requests and always tried to find the best possible solutions to problems. But the solution to this is not to just give people verification rights without their consent, they have to tell us they want to verify runs, then we can give them such role.

None of you are running the game and have no idea what the community and moderation team is like. He was a new runner and usually new runners high at the leaderboard require more thorough checking.

Если у меня долго не принимают забег но люди заходят на сайт и проверяют другие забеги. Я их тоже обвиняю в том что они плохо модерируют. Ведь они принимают забеги которые более новые (Были отправлены на проверку позже моего и мне не важно насколько меньше времени занимает этот забег) особенно когда в модераторах висит много модераторов и они проверяют более новые забеги это ещё больше раздражает.

Так же я видел что вы упрекали человека в том что он бегал более короткие игры и их можно быстро проверять, это же вам не трёх часовой забег мафии.

Если бы вы посмотрели сложность забегов St4nzzz в NES играх к примеру Batman: The video game или Battletoads и сколько времени он потратил на них. То удивляться "Как же так быстро он берет высокое место за короткий промежуток времени" не стоит. Все свои забеги делает исключительно на стриме.

The length of runs was mentioned because of the time verifier needs to reserve time, not about whether it's legit or not. You need to understand that every community has a bit different approach to verification - and in our case, there was never an issue explaining why the verifications take longer and the only time when someone was actually upset about it was when someone who was supposed to check it literally forgot about the run. If we verify newer run before an older one, it's either because 1. the submission was earlier, 2. another moderator reserved it for checking, 3. it's an IL which doesn't require reserving time for, 4. mod watched the run on stream.

Look, we've always been open to getting more mods and we were always nice to our community. Read speedrun.com rules before being so invasive and toxic to us just because your friend got banned for being transphobic.

Again, we're trying hard to make a solution and you're not helping by being so negative about it. Locking the thread again. Please, stop spamming our community with issues that we know about.
