Map Moderetors

I recall a user (whose name I don't remember) who would put his maps on all map categories and types just so it would appear in every search ran.
The best option seems to be the removal of the users' ability to categorize their resource, and let moderators do the job.

No, no you wouldn't.

I know that for a fact, too. If you created this thread just to get the point across that you want to be a mod, then you're an idiot.

EDIT: You posted just before I did.

With regards to your post, I don't agree. I believe that the best option is to allow users to categorize their maps, and enforce the job that current map moderators should be doing.

Rui if u want to make the user not have the option to put the map in the section, then ralle should make a new section where moderetors diden't put maps in the sections! but i still prefer doing the job.

I don't understand.

This is actually a great option. Though, it greatly increases a mod's workload. You would also need a very knowledgeable mod to do the job, lest things be categorized incorrectly.

There really ought to be a system put into place that filters bad maps out of the primary map system, and stores them in a bad map bin. Inside that map bin should be a Mystery Science Map Theatre 3K!

Well, only real problem with Ruis idea is, it would put way more pressure on the current map moderators, which have a hard time doing the stuff already (As I have heard).

Two seconds (literally) of typing isn't a lot more pressure.

Tags and categorization are the kind of trivial things best left to the users.
