Pending Maps

Hello all
The maps section currently contains way too many pending maps. I would like to help our map moderators by easing the load on their shoulders. I will be removing ALL pending maps so they can start over. However, if your map is pending and you don't want it deleted, you can press the "Keep This" button on your pending maps so you don't have to resubmit them.
The button is right next to "Update" and "Delete".

I will be deleting all pending maps that haven't been marked in 3 days or something.

Was it just implemented now?

I remember my pending map being removed a week ago... Dunno why...

Yay my map is now safe...

Also... What's reparse?

THIS was the right solution and the one I was hopping for! BIG thanks Ralle =)
The majority of those maps do not deserve approval.
You could also delete rejected maps with a rating of 1/5, since they are doing nothing there.

Reparse = Regrabs the details.

For example, your map's preview doesn't work correctly and it appears as the black square, you press reparse and it fixes it :)

The majority will find a major dissapointment in this,but some users will never even notice.

Anyway,the deleted maps have a probability of being submited to EpicWar.com ,so it's not such a disaster.

It was the only way to keep the best of our maps in evidence and to lend that weight from the moderators shoulders.

Either way,it's a great idea!

Do you agree that epic war sucks dick in the moderation and general map quality, department?

So do we, at the moment. Trouble is, there is around a 30 page moderation queue. That's down to the moderation team, in part, myself including. There is no way to bring ourselves back from that state, unless we wipe the slate clean and start again. Myself, and others of course, are going to take an active role in making sure this doesn't happen again. And, now let's be truthful, all we're asking you to do is click a button. It doesn't take time and it, certainly, doesn't take effort. Deleted maps, along with those deleted before the 'great wipe', are going to be completely wiped from the database and you won't be able to see their thumbnails, this means that any previously removed map can be re-uploaded.

TL;DR; if you cared for your map, then you'll care enough to press a button. If you didn't submit the map and it's still pending, then resubmit the map when we've cleaned the database.

We need both the community and the moderation team to work on this together and, fingers crossed, we'll be able to recover from this issue, and give hive the good name, that it deserves, back.V

What are you talking about?! There is no reason for Rui, who has been moderating maps as far as the Hive exists, to kiss Ralle's ass. He even made a user group dedicated to map reviewing and now things will be much easier.
