Well this is going to be awkward.

So the very first game submitted to src was Oregon Trail 5 (I was bad at leaderboard creation back then). A few months after I had the leaderboards, I changed computers, and could no longer run the game. Feeling it was time to break it up, once a couple others had ran the game, I figured it was time to pass it up. So I gave moderator to Baldr (current WR holder) and some guy I won't name cause he got banned the day after I gave him mod.

Fastforward to March 2019, and now I have a way to safely play the game on my new computer and record it. Baldr hasn't been on in 10 months, I shot him a message couple days ago on his twitter (which he has posted tweets since my message, but no reply.) And as I'm writing this, throwing in a run to submit as good measure. I know, a little awkward with it originally being my leaderboard, but I didn't feel ok moderating a game I could no longer run. Now with the ability to run the game safely, and definitely, know a lot more on leaderboard creation.

Here is the link to make things easier:



@Cmdr Took a look and noticed Baldr has Twitter which he actively uses. I recommend waiting a little longer for him to respond.



I may have used the wrong word. I meant that social medias are personal (not private). They are personal stuff of people, and not related to like "in order to have one you gotta have the other"
As I explained to you. I already tried to contact the super Mod. I made effort to contact him on "alternative" social medias available for both of us. The problem is, I don't have twitter, he doesnt have youtube or steam. So, who is to blame? Me for not having twitter, he for not having youtube or steam...? (That's the problem on depending on other medias to use the site). Who would to tell which medias one must have or not in order to be a runner?
Unless you tell me that it is a rule to must have specific social medias to use If so, then I didn't know and I'm sorry.

Liv said I don't have a way to be contacted as well. What does it mean? I am right here, lol

>> I created the right thread on the right place, at the right forum of the right game in the right website. Where super mods get notification about.

I don't plan to insist on that, But I do wan't to be fair for the fair it is:

>> I created a thread on the forum about a month ago. The only super mod available saw and ignored. '-' I contacted other Mod on steam, since this mod has steam (he had seen the thread on notification before I contacted him by the way), and he said that there's only one super mod and only one that can do something

This super mod saw the thread and ignored. So do I have to create a twiiter account and go after him and beg him?

So I create a Twitter account and go there and send messages
So he ignores my messages on twitter too.
So I come here and bring you printscreens to prove that I tried to contact him and he keeps ignoring...? Is that what "substantial efforts" mean?

You guys have an idea how far can it go instead of just giving someone ways to fix a problem? (since the only super mod available is absent)..

At least, It would be possible to give @JayTheIdiot the status of super Mod in the game? So I could at least contact someone?


Just to note, receiving notifications for forum posts/threads is not a mandatory option, it is optional. So it's entirely possible he just never saw your thread. Most people mainly rely on discords and their social media for contact. Is it kind of counter productive? Sometimes. It is what it is.

Going back to this point of your post:



Have you tried to contact this particular user already? If they're a mod for the game, then they should be able to sort this out for you already. There is no difference between Super/Standard mod in terms of permissions for editing the board itself. So, I'm not sure what giving them Super Mod would actually accomplish for this particular task.

I've tweeted at Crisco myself on twitter for you, and directed him towards your initial post. I'll give it a little while to see if he replies. And is it a rule to have certain social medias on No. However, would it be productive for users to actually reasonably attempt to reach out before coming here? Probably yes. User's going that extra mile is kind of what is meant by 'substantial effort', because from my perspective he is contactable (unless he is intentionally ignoring) but the problem is a user's choice to not try that avenue.
