New moderators needed?

North Brabant, Netherlands

Hello there, this game does not seem to have a lot of active players, and some of the mods seem inactive too. But I am part of a small group of people who recently became interested in competing with the people on these leaderboards (and each other) in this game. Since we are probably going to be uploading more runs occasionally, we wondered if it would be a good idea if one of us became a moderator.

This would allow us not to put too much of a burden on the existing moderators, and we could verify new records more quickly as well. We are often present for each other's runs, so we can also more easily verify whether runs are real or not. Of course we would also check runs uploaded by other people, we would love more competition.

Being a part of this now more active group of players, I can surely get behind the opinion that an extra, active moderator would most certainly be a fine addition to this place.

I personally feel as though a faster processing of run submissions might increase the joy that's gained from participating in this speedrunning community.

This, along with the fact that integrity shouldn't be a problem for this person (judging from personal knowledge) makes me think Soraz would make a nice moderator for this thread.

I’ve got good faith that soraz will uphold the rules verifying submissions accordingly and with absolute honesty. Shrek is love and shrek is life, another moderator helps keeping the shrek smash ‘n crash speedrun community vivid and up to date. I hope many more records will be broken and if there’s one thing we equally share then it’s the joy of seeing your personal records online fast xD

I feel like we definitely need new mods. I think the rules aren't defined at all. I hate the idea that restarting races is apparently allowed due to top runs being verified that restart races. This ruins the entire point of speedrunning the game and is a huge turn off. It ruins competition when you try to get a good run and then you see top runners restarting races with no punishment because the game allows it. I think getting new mods to help verify runs quickly and also establish a better rule set would help this game a lot.

The problem with banning restarts would be that all existing runs would have to be removed or re-validated. Perhaps it is possible to have a second tournament leaderboard which includes a 'no restarts' rule?

On top of that maybe we could add a tournament mirror mode leaderboard.
