[2015+] Reviewing Recourses, Helpful Links, and Tips

[StoPCampinGn00b]

WIP

Here will be the place where you can find various guides and tips that can be helpful for reviewers. Feel free to comment and suggest new things and I will edit the first post.

Threads aimed to set guidelines for reviewing. Of course every reviewer has his or her own style, but these links can still be helpful.

• √ Process of reviewing maps by Rui

Miscellaneous Tips

• When voting for moderation, state that you are voting. E.g "I rate the map 1/5 and I vote for the map to be REJECTED." is the correct way whereas "1/5 and REJECTED." almost breaks the impersonation of a staff member rule.

• If possible, add the version number of the map you reviewed attached to your review post.

General useful links to give to map uploaders

• Map Submission Rules

• Staff Contact

• Description Tutorials and Resources

way whereas "1/5 and REJECTED." almost breaks the impersonation of a staff member rule.

I did saw someone reviewing like that, I suppose. Anyways thanks for the useful links.

There is a broken list code on the bottom. You also forgot the great Alternate Rules.

The not voting for a certain map state is indeed Staff Member Impersonation, it also displays a lack of respect for the map author as well.

 

[Sclammerz]

Well said.

I noticed some of you are linking the alternate MSR. Please don't link them anymore, it isn't up to date with the current rules.

 

[Vinz]

Which new rules?

Changelog (about three months ago)

- Uniqueness rule added + clarification of taking maps without permission
- Termination of the 'Is the map protected?' requirement in description
- Description rule updated, many things are not a must but a highly recommended now. It's vague but Ralle intended it to be this way

 

[Vinz]

If you can't update them, can I have a copy?

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

I have plans :3

Maybe.
