SupporterAs a follow up to this, once there is a run available for the Hat DLC, would we be able to get it added as a category onto this board? I think this is more a question for @SkelliBoi and @Scrublord, but I’m not entirely sure how this process works!
Hello! I’m new to this speedrun but would love to run the DLC. As far as I’m aware there’s only a base game guide. Are there any known time saves for the DLC?
I am personally curious why you list three people not active in the community over people that are not only active but have a vested interest in the community and its' growth. This isn't to start anything, I'd just love to know your reasoning.
Being a mod of a board typically means you're interested in it and you would like to work with the community and see things grow and change. You listing people that are not even a part of the community is odd to me, and I'd love to know your reasons behind it. That aside, you've never seemed to have an interest in the community at all. Most of the people that have interacted with you have gotten sass or some form of snark back, which should not be how it is. I've had others confide in me that they've experienced similar to what I have when it comes to interacting with you. It's not my place to name them without them agreeing, but the concern is there and it is valid.
For the record, I didn't approach any of these people that suggested me as a co-mod, by the way - as I'm sure you may assume. Having a love for the game and a desire to see new people join in and interact with the community is more than likely what got me mentioned. I'm an active runner that not only runs the game for marathons, but also commentates on Lion King runs. Id' say I'm fairly heavily involved in the Lion King scene.
I do agree about changes being put to a vote. It's true that we can't have just anything that we want on the boards, but if the community as a whole wants it and would use it, where is the harm.
Alright, so I'm here to give my input on all of this, especially since I've been mentioned a number of times.
@AlfredoSalza, your comment about me being "not granted" is insulting, to say the least.
"About adding more moderators: I have said in various instances that if you want to be a mod of TLK, you can ask for mod in the "Request leaderboard moderation" thread on the main forums. Of course, this implies that you need to present a pretty good argument as to why you (an individual, by the way) wants to be a mod...
... Nichole already used the forum mentioned above to ask for moderation and it was not granted."
I came to you asking to help out because this game is very near and dear to me, and I wanted to be able to help the community however I could. You directed me to the forums. As it turns out, those are to be used when the current mod is entirely inactive, and not to just ask for help. I wasn't denied, you set me up for failure.

My message to you originally: Nichole Goodnight 09/15/2019 Heya! I don't know what all is involved but if you ever want another mod for the lion king on snes/genesis etc I'd be happy to help out
Your initial response: AlfredoSalza 09/15/2019 Hi. You can ask for moderation here https://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/forum
And of course, your response in the thread: Regarding The Lion King: I just wanted to state that I have not asked for help moderating the leaderboard. I usually verify runs just a few hours after getting the alert via email, as I have been doing so for a few years now, even with the (marginally) increased activity as of late. Cheers.
Since that time, you threw a fit on Genesis and passed away that leadership, so that's neither here nor there.
The community has valid points and I am happy to throw my name in as someone that they did consult about all of this. Multiple of us have had awful experiences with you. Me personally? I came to you asking to help, you sent me to where I thought I could request this - PER YOUR ADVICE - and then you acted like I was insulting you, publicly, in response.
Let's not forget your response to me -
AlfredoSalza 09/16/2019 Yeah, I handled the situation poorly. I should have explained to you that the "moderation request" forum is basically to revive dead leadearboards.
You knew all along that this wasn't the path to take and you still not only sent me there, but have the audacity to put it in your pastebin as a valid method.
Your list of people you would add is great and all, but on it are there any active runners? Akiteru is the most recent I believe (and very helpful and knowledgeable, so a good choice honestly). I haven't heard of 2/4 of the names you mention. You don't even run the game currently do you?
You don't have the community's best interest in mind and that's that. There is not much more to be said about it. You've pushed back on everything. When I was trying to get DCG added you'd go through and like my posts and do absolutely nothing about it. I had to reach out to you personally just to get denied again for something that the capable Genesis board had already added.
Be better for the community.
@AlfredoSalza
Just bringing attention to above :) Would really appreciate it to not be considered a misc run (shouldn't have to toggle something to have a run in this category appear, it's no less valid_, and to have hard and easy included. Almost like what Aladdin Sega did, for example. https://www.speedrun.com/aladdin_genesis#Disney_Classic_Games - instead of Any% and All Stages, it would be Any% Easy and Any% Hard
@poisoncurls - I did ask to add a new game and was rejected and told that the runs should have their own tab on this board, hence the push to get them added here. It should have the normal categories of Hard and Easy, not just "DCG". I absolutely agree that it needs its own category, but it also needs Hard and Easy, NOT just "DCG."
This is what is needed -
Tab - "Any% DCG: The Lion King N Easy" "Any% DCG: The Lion King N Hard" Platforms - Steam and Switch need added. I will be doing some testing with @BinaryDragon on if the Steam and Switch are emulated differently from each other.
It needs to specifically say The Lion King N, as DCG has like 5 versions of The Lion King in it, including the Sega version (The Lion King S).
Not to nitpick but we need an Any% Lion King N Easy an Any% Lion King N Hard as well as both Switch and Steam console select as they both emulate it a bit differently. There is also no reason for this to be under Misc, too (I mean I guess it can be, but we still need both difficulties and the fact that it's Lion King N specified. Just DCG could lead to Lion King S being submit, which belongs over with Sega).
Like I said before, if you aren’t willing to actually moderate this forum and are just here to antagonize, let someone help that actually is passionate about the game. Adding a tab that just says DCG is a bit lazy and ridiculous and I think you knew that.
Will it be added as a new tab?
This is the solution that needs to be done in order for people to be able to speed run it.
No, you cannot use this version as per the new rules.
Hopefully a new tab will be added for the Disney Classic version soon :)!
Well this is neat to see since I literally asked him last week to help moderate, and he took it as a great offense and made me look like a total asshole on the moderation request board.
I agree about needing the categories, though. I’m glad they’re getting added!
I wasn't insinuating that you weren't fast or not doing your job, @AlfredoSalza, I was just offering to help. When I came to you personally asking if you ever needed help that I'd be happy to, you pointed me here, which is why I came here.
Hello! I am requesting to help moderate the following:
https://www.speedrun.com/lionkingsnes https://www.speedrun.com/The_Lion_King_GenesisMegaDrive
There's been a lot of new activity lately and I figured I'd offer to help out the lone mod <3 I'm super active in the Lion King community and figured this would be an awesome way to help out. Thank you so much for your consideration!
Hello! Just wondering if Snes9x 1.55 is allowed.
Thank you so much!
