So I submitted a run and the only moderator has been offline for 11 months. They have no Twitter, YT, Twitch ect. on their profile so I carn't even contact them there. Any ideas what I could do?
Thats what this thread is for: http://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/63nr7/73
Assuming you run the game and would like to take over the moderation ofcourse
That's been mentioned in other threads before, but the way the site is laid out encourages mods to self-verify. Getting on the front page gives your run more attention, especially if it's a world record and/or a popular game. If there's a delay in approving, it doesn't get on the front page. Yeah it's mostly an ego thing, but you can see how it's encouraged.
I believe most of the really popular games still require someone else to verify a moderator's run, but for smaller games it's a bit of problem. For obscure games it's justified seeing how no one else is likely qualified to moderate.
