This is my idea for if I can become a Speedrun.com mod, and you mods and former mods can change it up if you'd like — I'll take verifier, and I don't need moderator:
Do a majority vote, and whichever one wins, please have a mod or former mod DM me
Again, I don't need to become a Speedrun.com mod for SMB/SMB2J — but I'd be very happy if I do become one

I think verifier is the right job since it is not too stressful but you get more responsibility and respect than just a runner since you decide if the runs are on the leaderboard or not, I think verifier is good for those who are new to SRC for any game.
@Creepr101 I also don't need or want to participate in any discussions regarding future rule changes
@Creepr101 inversely to your "become verifier and get more respect", generaly a user will need to get a significantly substantial amount of respect among the comunity members for that chance of them accepting him as a new verifier/mod/etc. , specialy if it is a big game like SMB1, or at least have something significant to contribute with that
Nothing against the OG with that btw, he does seem to have a point for something here so that's cool, not my decision
I see your point @KilleDragon, It does take a lot of time in the game to get something of somewhat responsible value, it is just that verifier is pretty much the lowest amount of value on moderation status standards.
Also I've been in the community for at least two years and almost five months
