So this game, and I'm sure pretty much everyone knows this, only has 2 currently active moderators, while all the others have been inactive for a long time. Now I think this really isn't a big deal at all, considering the number of runs that get submitted is not entirely huge, so having just 2 mods verify runs is probably good enough and the inactive mods wouldn't be hurting anything.

However, I've been noticing a few runs that have taken a bit too long (like at least a month) to get approved. A notable example would be Bluben's run (2nd place in TTC solo) where he submitted in May and it didn't get verified until August. Again, not a huge deal. As long as the mods remember to check submissions at SOME point, it's fine. But I personally would like to see things change a bit because I'm sure some people get a little frustrated that they have to wait so long for their runs to show up on the leaderboards.

The best thing to do in my opinion is add new mods and replace old ones if necessary. It can be done at any time and it's not urgent at all. I just feel like it should happen, either soon or eventually. I'm open to any further discussion from runners or active mods.

In other news... long factory world record soon™

Mod activity has been an ongoing problem for years unfortunately. I have been willing for a long time to pass over the responsibility of maintaining the leaderboard to somebody else, but when I add a new moderator who shows interest in being that person, they go inactive and the responsibility comes back to me. I don't mind it at all, since it is not a lot of work to verify runs, but I am still willing to add new moderators who want to take over.

So that being said, anybody who reads this, feel free to reach out if you are interested in being a mod!
