So basically, as a mod of the PS1 version of Disney's Atlantis, I requested to get mod on the GBA one, since it had no mods at the time, and I was denied due to the fact I didn't have a submitted run of the game. Today I checked the boards and noticed that someone who doesn't seem to have a submitted run either has been made a supermod... how does this make sense?

The game in question: https://www.speedrun.com/disneys_atlantis_the_lost_empire_gba

Maybe they had a run and then later deleted it for some reason? Who knows. The current super mod's been offline for 2 months, so seems pretty open and shut if you submit a run now.

sounds like a mod farmer! my buddy awake had near the same problem of a new game, but he send a speedrun, but placed as supermod was a mod farmer without a run.

Yeah, I'll just have to get around to doing a run at some point and then requesting mod again, since the current supermod on there hasn't been very active at all in a while it seems.

you can submit a run and wait for 21 days and when the supermod still dont show up, then i think you can send your request ticket. right, shikennuggets?

You dont have to wait 21 days if the mod has been inactive for over 6ish months and has no contact method. The 21 day thing is a general timeline for submitting runs and has a lot of flexibility depending on circumstance.
