What's the connection of map overflow with map reviewers. Just because we might have plenty of unreliable map reviewer, it doesn't mean the amount of map being upload to this site would decrease.
You are saying the opposite of what I was saying. Seriously, pay attention to what is being said before posting. If you had more reliable reviewers, the number of pending maps would decrease. That's the connetion. Plain and simple.
If a map review does not have any indepth information or being inaccurate, the map moderator would not going to use it as well.
So why exactly are they map moderators? I don't follow
Bounty is doing a good job soo far. Also, there isn't many qualify user. Even if they are capable to give review, does they have the dedication to do so?
Bounty may be doing a good job with the mmap reviews, but it's more work than one person can possibly handle. Also, there are plenty of qualified users, you are just looking in the wrong place. Trust the people who actually take the time to conduct a useful review.
When they want to upload their map, they would always think it was ready and usually doesn't update it. In fact, if such a measure was taken. Don't be suprise if the pages of pending map was fill into 3 pages at 1 go.
I don't believe your statement is correct. I have uploaded maps and by the time it is finished uploading, I hae already realized something I have forgot. If the user can't upload his or her map, what else can they do with it? Make it better in the time they have extra. I wouldn't consider it a "measure" either.
Tell me something. What's better:
20 pages of pending maps; or
3 pages of pending maps?
Also, what is the connection between hosted project and reviewing map.
Here's another one of those "Pay attention to the other posts before posting"
I was saying that the moderation process
IS NOT WHAT THE MODERATORS SAY IT IS. It is not "oldest to newest", "Easiest to hardest", or "largest to smallest".
Moderation is simple. 'We moderate what maps we want to, in the order we want to'. Don't try putting it off as any other organized process. It's not.
The main reason why it have 49 pages of pending map was because I was demoted during the time where the pending map was about 20 pages without anybody being appoint as mod for about 2-3 months.
So we should be blaming you? Way to take one for the teaam, but I don't think any one member was the cause. It was the lack of organization and effort by 'the hive team'
The one part of your last post caught my eye, and sort of applies to my statement above.
It's not a matter of who reads the rules, its a matter of having an organized community. No I'm not saying the community is unorganized, I'm saying rules serve to organize. How many mods
-rep users for breaking the rules? That's a good enough motivator to read the rules. I don't even have to break the rues to get
-rep
Actually I had just pointed out that THW has 20 times users than wc3c.
The current staff
can handle the number of users. 1000 pending maps reduced to 400. See?
Moreover what Wraithseeker had said was also incorrect. The map submission on wc3c is also large. It is just that wc3c has much strict map submission criteria than THW due to which they send much of the submitted maps to
the graveyard. If you count the amount is titanic. I am not saying that all present there is maps but just that the amount of maps present there is also high. For seeing the actual situation you need to see ratio of users (THW : WC3c = 20 : 1).
Taking look at that if the map submission on wc3c is 1/20 of the map submission on THW the situation is exactly the same.
Just for your note Archangel_Tidusx. I was not drawing conclusions or anything I was just trying to tell in brief that situation is nearly same on both at present.
What I gathered from this was..
The staff is large enough to handle the amount of users, but hive has 20 times more users than wc3c? So you are agreeing or disagreeing to the staff increase idea?
