Map Moderetors

[Oziris]

I have seen this and i dont like it even a bit. The map moderetors should be cereful how they put the maps in the right section. I saw world of warcraft orpg in a Defense/survival map. That doesn't look good and i dont want to talk about the rest of the maps they are not in there places. U dont help users, example : I wanted to play Defense/Survival maps i saw many mistakes....Fix this, it will help alot of users!

 

[Belgarath]

That's not the moderator's fault. The users choose where the maps go.

 

[Oziris]

There is no way that a moderetor can fix it ? Becouse i would love to fix those stuff if i could.

 

[XX_Noob]

Well, yeah moderators can just edit the maps (I think). To make them the right place, but if the moderators dont users just put em' where they want them to be.

And I would love to help out a bit.

Thanks,

Actually, Map Moderators have control over which section the map falls into.

When a Moderator is reviewing a map, he should, in theory, categorize the map accordingly. However, that very rarely happens.

And to go back and correct all of those little mishaps would take hours.

I belived the mini mod is to blame.
"Headhunter: Mini-Moderators categorize keywords and advise Resource Moderators on approval status."
I remember talking to a map mod in the chat about maps with wrong keyword and group. He told me it's the mini mod.

 

[Hawkwing]

That used to be there job, but things have changed. Now they give mini moderator reviews.

 

[chenlimin]

than it's the mods, I heard they have too little time to do the keyword and reveiw.

 

[PurplePoot]

The Maps section doesn't have mini mods if I recall correctly.

 

[Hawkwing]

You recall correct.

Anyways, they could try and do it when moderating, but they wont be going back and doing all the ones they missed.

 

[Ash]

Or, they could start doing the job they're supposed to be doing now and stop leaving it because 'it would take hours to correct everything'.

What happened in the past has happened, but we shouldn't let the mistakes continue into the future.

"Headhunter: Mini-Moderators categorize keywords and advise Resource Moderators on approval status."

Keywords are not the same as category etc. Although yeah, minimods do have power over that, at least in the models, icons, and skins section. Not sure about maps.

 

[Ash]

I was a Map Minimod, if they still exist then I'd like to say that the only 'options' I had was to vote for approval or not, I didn't have access to anything like that

 

[Oziris]

I would take the job and put every map in the right section even if it would take 1-5 hours.I wanna make the Hive workshop a better place then it is now!

I recall a user (whose name I don't remember) who would put his maps on all map categories and types just so it would appear in every search ran.
The best option seems to be the removal of the users' ability to categorize their resource, and let moderators do the job.

 

[Ash]

No, no you wouldn't.

I know that for a fact, too. If you created this thread just to get the point across that you want to be a mod, then you're an idiot.

EDIT: You posted just before I did.

With regards to your post, I don't agree. I believe that the best option is to allow users to categorize their maps, and enforce the job that current map moderators should be doing.

Rui if u want to make the user not have the option to put the map in the section, then ralle should make a new section where moderetors diden't put maps in the sections! but i still prefer doing the job.

Please try again.


I don't understand.

This is actually a great option. Though, it greatly increases a mod's workload. You would also need a very knowledgeable mod to do the job, lest things be categorized incorrectly.

There really ought to be a system put into place that filters bad maps out of the primary map system, and stores them in a bad map bin. Inside that map bin should be a Mystery Science Map Theatre 3K!

 

[XX_Noob]

Well, only real problem with Ruis idea is, it would put way more pressure on the current map moderators, which have a hard time doing the stuff already (As I have heard).

 

[PurplePoot]

Two seconds (literally) of typing isn't a lot more pressure.

 

[Hakeem]

Tags and categorization are the kind of trivial things best left to the users.
