Don't want this to be taken in a bad way but can add new moderators that have more time to manage this community?
I imagine it's pretty difficult to review a game where each speed run is 2+ hours, but I feel like we are limiting the potential of this game. A lot of request and messages are going without responses.
Personally for me I have recommended new categories and have brought attention to the top-ranked run being in the wrong category. For instance - Currently the 1st place Run in AYCE All Stars % is not even an All Stars run if you watch the video.
I know being a moderator takes a lot of time and effort that goes under appreciated and unpaid. So above all thank you for what you all do.
If needed, I'm happy to contribute or support in anyway.
I offered to be a mod multiple times, but no answer. After my most recent run was not verified for like over 6 weeks or so, i messages all the mods and if i got no respond i would've filed an appeal to the super mods. But then my run got verified.
Still, i'm offering my help for verification of runs so the community does not get buried in inactivity.
I highly second these messages. This run is really fun and I think so many cool things could be done with it to draw more interest - maybe adding categories for AYCE DLC campaigns or ILs for the different worlds (World 1, 2, etc), and now that it's recently been featured on the GDQ channel twice during Hotfixes, more people may be interested in running it. But when it takes months for runs to get verified and messages to mods go completely without responses, it can be incredibly disheartening.
A few friends of mine and I have been working on this run for the past two months now and at this point have submitted times that we're really proud of. None of them from the past two months have been verified yet, and none of my messages that were sent to mods over a month and a half ago have received responses.
Adding onto this, the last verified run was from four months ago. SRC rules specifically say that runs need to be verified within a month. At this point, anyone who has been requesting to be a mod and not getting responses absolutely has a case to petition SRC to remove them.
I have now been added as a mod so I'll help out with reducing verification times from now on !
That's awesome! I've wanted to start running this game for a while now, but I was waiting to see if mods were going to be more active. Can't wait!
