How about add a button named "Write a review", which allows users to write a "formal" review and rate the map.
Reviews and comments would be separated. Reviews can only be written once(but can be updated) per user. Reviews need to actually contain a review, if it doesn't, it could have a "report" button for mod delete.
Anyway, the review system would make it very easy to organize the review.
It'd have a "Pros:", "Cons/Bugs:", "Main Review", and "Suggestions for Improvements:" "text block" which would make things easier for organization.
Users would still be able to rate the map from 1-5 if they simply post a comment(no review needed).
However, users who reviewed the map can also "rate if the map works" from a scale of 1-5,
this is not the same thing as regular map ratings, it's just a rating to from 1-5 to see if the map works or not.
5 means the map is working as intended, no bugs, no flaws, etc.
3-4 means the map might have some bugs.
1-2 means the map has a lot of bugs and flaws and it needs to be fixed quickly.
If a map has at least 3 reviews, and the map has an average "map working" rating of at least 3(after 3 reviews), the map automatically gets approved BUT however, the map can get "deapproved" if the "map working rating" drops from 3.
Also, only users with 10 posts, and users who registered and joined the site for at least a month can write reviews for maps.
To recap:
1. There should be a "Write a review" button for maps, for users to write a review.
2. The review should make it easy for users to organize their reviews, it should have a "Pros", "Cons/Bugs", "Map Review", and "Suggestions for Improvements" textbox, allowing users to easily organize their reviews.
3. There are two ratings for each and every map, the "regular map rating", and the "if the map works rating".
"Regular Map Rating" - This means how much the user enjoyed the map or likes the map. Users can rate the map simply by posting a comment, no review needed.
"If the map works Rating" - This is a rating from 1-5 to check if the map is "working as intended".
5 means the map is working as intended, no bugs, no flaws, etc.
3-4 means the map might have some bugs.
1-2 means the map has a lot of bugs and flaws and it needs to be fixed quickly.
Only users who "formally reviewed" the map can rate in the "If the map works Rating".
4. If a map has at least 3 reviews, and at least a rating of 3+ on the "If the map works rating", the map automatically gets approved, however the map can get "disapproved" if the "If the map works rating" drops from 3.
