Please read the rules before uploading.

Average quality standard:
A certain amount of quality is required, the gameplay needs to be somewhat fun, the terrain must not be lacking and a bit of originality should be present.
Note: Replicas are not allowed! (e.g. Changing something from Dota 'Adding new heroes and items, but still keeping some of the old ones')

A full credits list:
Both in the Hive description & quest log in-game. What needs to be in the list? Name of the authors. (Optional: Name of the resource)

Submitted Map Resources need to have a good description on the Hive. Map title, author, features list, short gameplay explanation, a credits list, screenshots, a changelog, etc.
A map description that only contains "Hope you like it, my first map" or "power core v3 new updates, see loadingscreen good map" will be rejected.
Suggested Links: BBcode list - Map Description Templates by -Kobas- (Requires a minimum amount of BBcode skills) - Map Description Generator (No BBcode skills required)
[Update] -Kobas-'s user templates are no longer a recommended option to improve your description - Most users cannot properly edit the template and end up making a description that just doesn't fulfill its ultimate purpose -> Being quick to check out and learn something about the map's gameplay

Ripped resources from other games are not allowed to be used, unless they are from another Blizzard Entertainment game

Work in progress (WIP) maps are not allowed, the map needs to be a complete release.
ALPHA and BETA versions, "teasers/trailers", etc. can be posted in Map Development.
Furthermore, do not upload maps and use it as a request thread. If you want a user to add something to your map for you (system, etc.), then please make a thread in WEHZ.

[Daffa]

he helped the community a lot, he deserves that title for his contributions in the past in my opinion.

 

[Rheiko]

well, ok then..

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Full credits must be given to all the authors of the custom resources you imported.

Something is wrong with this logic and I think you know what it is.

Read the map submission rules or you may be rejected. Descriptions are not optional. A lot of maps were uploaded by in 2007 and 2008 when the Hive needed as many resources as possible, now crowding of useless or unidentified resources takes away from the value of the Hive. Please make a description, its not hard.
