Map Approval : How long?

[d_man3981]

How long does it take for the people of the hive check ur map and approve it?

When they find the time.

Since all maps can be browsed now even less take the time to look at, test and approve maps. I know I never check any maps for sure. Also alot of people have exams atm. so they are busy.

yeh now isnt the best time for the resource mods. but there is probably going to be fewers submissions and downloads this time of year anyways. in a month it should be back to normal. be patient, you map will probably be approved before then.

The actual approval time of individual maps varies depending on factors including map bugs and Resource Moderator's time. Usually, there should be at least a comment on any particular item within two weeks time.

Approval may take longer if the map contains substantial flaws.

-[[(Map title) + 10] / (Appearance of the map)] x [30 / (Description of the map)]

So lets say you submit a map called "T3h best Footies!". Your own footies with few adjustments and you reformed the terrain. You write a description along the lines "Bets foot13 ver ever! Me and my friends play only this!!11!1 It rul3zzzzz!"

The rating is from 1 to 10, 1 being the worst, 10 being the best.

You get 1 for map title.
You get 1 for map description.
You get 1 for appearance of the map.

Your score is:

-[(1 + 10) / 1] x (30 / 1) = -330

Aproval of this map in my example will take 330 days.

Lol I never put it that way xD

But I must agree, your map title/description/minimap really counts. If all of those look good, you might get your map approved sooner. Moderators are persons, and like others, they don't really like to spend their time on nooby maps.

Well, as far as how long it takes they really just need to add in about 1 or 2 more map reviewers as far as I can tell and that'd help a lot.

 

[Ralle]

well since almost nobody actually moderates the maps anymore. We might remove moderation in that field.

 

[panther-anthro]

Before doing that consider making someone who is really active in charge of approval of maps and just approval of maps. Well Job Done, because i'm promoted. Problem solved.

How long does it take?

I'm new to the sight so sry if its the wrong section, but how long does it normally take to have a map approved?

 

[Wolverabid]

The approval process for maps usually lasts at least a couple of weeks: longer if moderators feel that substantial improvements are necessary in order for a map to be accepted.

Why dont you recruit other testers for maps only ?

Two new map moderators have recently been added, another is under consideration. In any case, users shouldn't fret if their map is unapproved, I believe that Ralle's custom script allows Non-Approved maps to be viewed, downloaded and commented upon by the general public.

Why are my maps not being approved?

It's not that they were rejected, they just never get nearer the top of the que! I submitteed them 3 weeks ago and 2 of them are still in the middle of page 3, right where they started! I submitted 3 and 1 has bean approved, but the other 2 just sit there! Newer maps are being approved ahead of mine, so it's not like the moderaters just haven't get there yet...

Also, the brouse maps section seem to be in reverse order, with un-approved maps first, and I can't flip it.

 

[Kimbo]

I talked to Ralle about this issue, i didnt know it was with maps too. He said he would get it done but not atm(since i asked him during server change)

 

[Wolverabid]

Regardless of whether or not any map is approved or not, all map resources are now publicly viewable and available for download.

Yeyeye, okay I'm back.
I'll moderate out as much as I can!
Tomorrow you will see all maps sorted out.
Ah, There's meh drink!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Still lacking in moderation?There are more than 3 active mods right now i think but why there is still problem?

 

[Conotor]

-[[(Map title) + 10] / (Appearance of the map)] x [30 / (Description of the map)]

Err... Doesn't this mean the map to be approed fastest would be one with a terrible tital, an awsom apprearence and an awsom discription?

-[[<1> + 10] / <10>] x [30 / <10>] = -3.3

-[[<10> + 10] / <10>] x [30 / <10>] = -6

It should be more like 112 - (App)(Dsc) + (Ttl)

My Harry Potter Wizard War was approved after 2 days, where as my Musket Warfare and Necromancer Wars have taken 22 days and counting...

 

[Ralle]

The approval doesn't really matter anymore.
I changed the system to display ALL maps that are pending and approved.
This way you won't suffer from slow moderators. They will moderate your map when they get the time and everyone will still be able to see and download your map.
I hope this solves your problems guys

 

[panther-anthro]

Which I personally think was a huge mistake, but whatever. My opinion isn't respected, because the system you had would've been fine if you had "Active' mods.

Must you always bitch about our mods? They work when they can. Some have more time online, some have less. Let them be ffs.

 

[panther-anthro]

Well lets see the only reason Ralle would ever have to implement something like this, if his mods are not active. Why should you be a mod who's sole job is to reviews maps, when you don't even do that? I mean It contradicts itself, it's saying you should have a job and not do it. You just shouldn't have the job if you don't put time aside to do it.

This isn't post armageddon. We go along fine with the amount of time they put aside. A mod's reflex to a map is not a big deal one way or another. If you have an idea of a person that both acts maturely and can put enough time aside to mod to your strict satisfaction, a suggestion of such will do.
