[yamigosaya]

if a map,model,skin and spell is rejected it still can approved by moderators?

If it is updated and afterwards you contact us, then yes.

I've never played hhf so...i can't actually reply to this,but i guess you are right telling that mini games don't require much work.

No map genre must necessarily require much work.
A good map of any genre, though, is another story.

They require less than a campaign does, I guess

They still require enough work for it to be done well though

Campaigns require a ton of work, because your not just working on one good map, your working on a lot.

Guys, I think your a bit off topic. Your nor suppose to discuss how fast a good map can be, but how to stop huge upload of really bad maps and more map mod reviewing.

But, hhf is a fun map. Main thing that makes map fun is idea, good game play, balance, and no lag/bugs/other issues.

And about limiting upload of maps to 1 per month per user. Well THW has a lot of users. OK most are inactive (1 reason or another), but, take from all active users 1000 of them and say they make bad maps in 1 day. That would mean 1000 maps per month. Still quite a lot.

I think that Map rules should be drastically updated. Anything that doesn't meat requirements is rejected. How to update, and which rules to add, idk. That would take some time to do.

Well the problem is that many many maps aren't even reviewed...So they are neither approved or rejected.

Limiting about one month will not do any damn difference. In fact if you posted something wrong and need to repost map then well "Sorry" wait for month and then repost it.

About "How to deal with teh big problem" I will tell for the last damn time... WHY YOU ALL SO DAMNLY CARE SO MUCH FOR RATING!? There is damn user rating, looking maps by watching moderator rating is damn stupid. Every moderator rates different. So all what CAN be done is to stop these useless topics how "bad" is resource sections which kills resource moderator mood. Thank you all.

Who told you that we actually look for maps from mod ratings?At least i don't and from my point of view a mod has actually far more experience than any simple user in rating,so his ratings could help improve any map this is what i mean.I think i'm clear enough...

I don't know what this thread is about really, but I'm sure someone's whined about moderators slacking, so let me tell you this: Moderating a map isn't just clicking a button and selecting a rating, you need to get people on b.net to play the map with you (which can be hard with sucky maps), look on basically all aspects of the map, decide whatever or not it is good enough for approval, if not, write a constructive review on what the user needs to approve, if yes, you need to write a review on why the map was approved. As you can see, there is more work involved in moderating a map than you may have thought at first. So please, even if it takes a few months for your map to moderated, have patience.

Hmm...You could ask some members of the hive to help testing maps,i'm sure some people would volunteer....this could help the work of map moderators a lot.
And i'm sorry Linaze if what i told actually insulted you...didn't mean that way.I'm pretty sure you doing a great work.
