I'll be taking a break from Darpey for a while -

Sorry Tecate <3

The circumstances regarding Pellsson were different than I had thought, thank you to Aweglib for clarifying. What he said was stupid, and not defensible. However, <3 Pellsson. Provided he doesn't believe the hashtag, and was just trying to make some stupid hyperbolic point, we all say dumb things. But yeah, the ban from discord makes sense.

The whole thing is a shame. Someone else can champion fixing the verification time / mod issue - just do it nicer than I did

I think we should add some mods guys Eddiecatgaming for mod

There are a lot of things I could say in response to this but I know you're not in a good state of mind right now and hopefully you can cool off and look back at this whole thing more reasonably. People were banned from the general smb discord from non smb1 mods. I'm open to having a dialogue with you if you can take a step back and look at the whole picture with us.

Now it's getting stupid. The case of run verification time is pulled for a year now I believe or even longer. Like I said in earlier Darpey's thread - add some trustful verifiers and let them do the work. There are a lot of young people in this community that have PLENTY of free time, in which they can verify a lot of runs. It's a perfect role for them.

About pellsson's and Darpey's ban. Why? I now that pellsson was more aggressive than he probably wanted to be, but it's not a reason to ban him. A warning would do the work I believe, especially considering fact that he's a mature person, that CAN behave. Of course I'm not defending him in any way and I'm not saying that his opinion was right. But Darpey? Seriously, I mean - ok, pellsson said some bad things, but Darpey did nothing wrong IMO. Wasn't there a better way to settle this up?

I don't know what more I can say... It looks now like a child's quarrel to me. The solution is simple, but for some reason we can't put this solution into life.

Just to reiterate, NONE of the SMB1 mods had anything to do with pellsson or darpey's ban on the SMB discord. I can have a chat with those mods and see if we can't get order restored for you and pellsson.

As far as the pellsson rom, Wes and I have long talked about taking up a collection. I can start a gofundme or if you want to donate directly to pellsson, we can find some way.

And me :P (not realy)

Hopefully new mods/verifiers get added soon

Darpey said that he was banned by Lawso

Calling the mods assholes is a good way to get banned from submitting runs here too. I think they do a good job in verifying and helping others in the forums. They have a lot of other runs to verify, and I respect that.

And I assume that most of the mods have long jobs daily, and I doubt that they would be able to verify runs at work.

Add more mods Add more mods Add more mods Add more mods Add more mods Add more mods Add more mods

Yes new mods need to be added for sure.

Not choosing any sides, but if we added more mods because runs weren't getting verified quickly before, then how will adding more mods fix the problem? I feel like the same thing is going to happen in the future and most of the forums will be 'add more mods'.

more runs = more verifications needed more mods that verify = more verifications if even more runs = even more verifications needed then just add more mods. more people will be in the community, so good mods would be easier to find.

1). @AweglibIsSmart It is actually @roopert83 , not @Roopert .

2). @zsjetu9 We added more mods because we needed our runs to get verifed faster, and that apparently didn't work. So adding more mods might not fix our problem. I think you misunderstood my previous post.

@Mars02 if it weren't for the addition of 8Bit_Ethan as a mod a bit ago, there would be virtually 0 verifications in a 2 month period, there was some other forum about this i don't remember the details So the addition of a mod helped But one mod can only do so much More are still needed

Mars if anything we need more active mods who have a lot of free time on their hands.

I am actually surprised verification time is still a problem within this community, I do understand that the mods have lives and they have to put priority in that, but there is an easy solution to that... Add more mods. There are a lot of trust worthy people that do know how to time there own runs properly and have free time on their hands to verify, why not add them?

This problem has been here for a while and It has a simple solution. However I would like to see other solutions too instead of people arguing, remember this is just a game!

@warpedclip So me? Kappa
