=== Super Moderator, Moderator and Verifier ===
Super Moderators are the people who can appoint Verifiers, Moderators and can even add other Super Moderators on a leaderboard. However, they cannot change the position of other Super Moderators once one is added. On top of that, they also have all the permissions of Moderator and Verifier.

Moderators can edit leaderboard settings (such as categories or rules) and they can edit runs. They can also verify their own runs. They have all the permissions that Verifiers have.

Verifiers can review runs in the queue, but they cannot edit runs that are already verified/rejected.
=== Elo staff ===
Elo staff refers to people employed at Elo, the company who owns speedrun.com.

=== Farming ===
Farming refers to doing a lot of something, whether that be getting a lot of world records, runs, etc. Mod farming is the most controversial and is universally frowned upon as it promotes getting mod just to have it rather than genuinely taking care of the leaderboard, and it is against the Site Rules. There is also a community called Farmington which has leaderboards related to farming and tools to help you farm.
