I think the main reason why robtop is not giving elder mods the ability to rate levels is that, it would overflow the rating system, robtop talked about this once.(if not please correct me)
For example nowdays, robtop rates 20-50 levels a day on average, where when all elder mods would also had the power it would spike up to lets say 200-300 levels PER DAY.
Robtop tries to prevent the massive ammount of rates that could happen due to this... which i understand to a certain degree.. but this ain't no small game anymore.

i want to point out that this isnt just robtop being slow. hes almost definitely seen many of these extreme demon platformers and refuses to rate them due to their difficulty. in a recent rate wave there were 6 well liked extreme demon platformers near the top of sent tab and robtop rated none of them. the new top 1 he rated was only given star rate despite being sent for epic and considered at least feature worthy by most people

[DoughnutThatIsIdle]

This is why elder mods should be able to rate levels. Not just Platformer ones, but any level.

[Earth_Dash_]

this explains why am I waiting like a billion years for just a few rated levels

[Xedronic]

keep in mind the rob is still working for 2.21, so he probably doesn't have that much time to rate levels

[gd_nubot]

Thanks for talking about this. We need to fix this

[volfil]

1:55 Bro beat Acheron as his first user created level...

Growing up, I always adored platformer games and wished beyond wished that there was a game with a level editor as in depth as geometry dash for platformer games. Mario maker 1 and 2 was okay but very limited compared to geometry dash. So now that GD has added platformer I am so happy. I really hope it doesn’t die out so soon because they are so much fun to both build and play to me

[PeasantBanana]

Platformer is defo not dying out. We just got a new top 1 and the community is still very strong. The rating system won't stop the community from playing

[ideac.]

i pretty much only get on gd to play platformer demons and stuff and rob has been incredibly slow with it
its such a fun gamemode but welp

[tessal]

Its possible rob wants tech based levels (chromaside, speedtek) instead of the robot gamemode precision.

[neuronextractor]

here's an idea for platformer creators looking for something original: make a platformer level structured just like a classic level, there are no checkpoints, and each room is timer-based and tied to a specific part of the song :>

[staringcorgi]

For a level to get a mythic and legend mods and elder mods should vote for it or not and take it to robtop for the final opinion if it should be legendary or epic or not

[HerminGD]

honestly platformer levels all look the same, the robtop levels are honestly the most fun to play, simply because it's hard to create a good platformer level. Hopefully, creators like xender game are cooking really cool levels, which are **original**, good looking, and fun

[Obesebirdd]

Maybe rob should just make a new mod badge specifically for people he would trust to rate levels for him

[VirnS_U]

I think that RobTop should add swing and wave into platformer mode.

[thatonerandomhuman]

ive been seeing a lot of very long platformers recently, so i honestly feel he just doesn't have the time to play these extremely long platformers (like how to platformer). im not sure exactly how rob rates levels but i would assume he at least plays the level to its almost whole content.

[wayoflifefr]

This is horribly bad for platformer lovers like me. Revive them!!

[Mid-Finity]

I hope that the new top 1 plat ecstasis being rated is a good sign for platformer

[Marleyisnum]

I looked in sent levels and only 4 out 50 levels were actually platformer, so maybe it’s not really Robtops fault
