Message to Map Reviewers

Back in a while Ralle made topic in Mods Lobby, here is only small part of whole thing:
Requirements level 1:
- a description clearly telling what this map is about.
- a name not being "just another x map".
- the author field should match the submitters name, (but don't be nazi about it).
- the name and picture should look unique.
- the map should not violate any other site rules.
- the map should be properly categorized.
- the minimap should not reveal a hideous terrain that clearly reveals poor quality.

Level 2 (possibly requires opening):
- the map is new or a heavily modified version of another map (in which case credit should be given if possible).
- the map does not crash (on launch and during playing).
- the map has no obvious dead icons.
- the map is not bad. (the map should be alright. Not necessarily a director's cut at all, but useful in some way. Perhaps a good storyline or good terrain/graphics or entertaining.)
 
If the map falls short in any of the level 1 or 2 requirements, you can reported it.
If the map is hopeless, stolen or build around something that breaks the rules, it should obviously just be reported.
If the map is just another version of footman/dota/etc etc map (few new spells/heroes/models/etc etc) can be reported as well.

Those are some basic rules, for more questions you can contact us or just post questions here.
I will edit posts each time when something new important come out.

Thanks and have a nice day.
