You're wrong, I'm not giving the hive anything more than the temporary right to host the map. There is a legal process in everything, whether you like it or not. THW does not have the right to unilaterally and retroactively remove my right to remove my map from its servers.

However, as far as I am concern. We post a rules & regulation of where a user could read them before they upload their resources.

If we visit any website, there is usually a rules and regulation which we have to abide the moment we gain access into it.

And even though a delete function have been remove from the user, the user itself could request it from mod/admin to remove their map as long as they provide a good reason and would not re-upload it in the future.

When dumbass users take advantage of it, it is a problem, and since the Hive is hosting the project, they decide how it will host.
You are correct you giving the Hive permission to host, but at the same time, The Hive is providing a place for the Map to be hosted, and have the right to decide where and how it will be hosted.
The hive is giving you permission to host there as well.

This is quite a valid point, if a person doesn't like the website. Why should they register and upload their resources over the website at the beginning ? They could have just make their own website and host it themselves.

My thoughts exactly.

Just remove the users' ability to remove maps on their own and tell them to PM a moderator/administrator to do so. If it becomes a frequent thing, the administrator/moderator will know about it before it happens and can then backhand the idiot that's trying to delete/reupload his maps for higher votes/reviews. Done and done.

Yea, delete that delete button. :P

I once deleted a map when I was trying to update it(they are so close to each other). :<

The hosting site has to have restraints over what you can do. If you would have control over the forums simply because it is your resource, then I feel sorry for Septimus and all the other moderators because it would be complete chaos. You choose to host it at a site, so that site has just as much right to control where it goes and how it will be hosted. You can't hold all the power. Without the site, it would never make public. They actually have more rights then you.

It is a big problem for all map moderator right now as the delete function have been abuse, but ralle doesn't do anything about it.

Off topic* : Aeroblyctos, how did you do that ? Cause when the delete button have been click, there would be a pop-up message.

I'm sorry but Ralle need to pay more attention.

By sheer virtue that you are posting things as belligerent and ignorant as this you are negating any credibility you might have ever had. If you want people to take you seriously, you should consider showing a little more dignity and respect in your posts.

Off Topic* : I hope both side won't start any flame war here, as the issue that are discuss is on how to make the moderating much efficient.

It's pointless in discussing this mather, the delete button should be removed in order to reduce the strain on map moderators and to increase the overal quality of hive.
We should all ask Ralle to remove the delete button, so here it goes:

Ralle, please remove the delete button because it does more bad then good!

Please don't start any flame war, keep the thread clean and healthy. Thanks for your cooperation.

As for the delete function, it really need to be remove.
And probably that make a new register user unable to upload resources until 10 days have pass could be useful as well to reduce the que.

I have no intention of a flame war. I am simply tired of the "professional" annotations I am recieving when I try to uphold a conversation. If it gets out of hand you are more then welcome to step in.
If I may, we really, really need to bring this to Ralle's attention, if he will listen to us. The deleat button is the entire problem, and setback of the resource section.
