Gentlemen,
If I am allowed to give my opinion as an uploader of resources (some rejected, some needing fixes, some approved) I think the current rules are fine. Here is the suggestions I would like to add:
1-Instead of writing a book with 500 lines of rules, make them easy to understand, especially since THW is an international website. The more simple rules are, the more it is easy to respect them and the less uploaders will feel frustrated if their resources are rejected.
2-Remove the "originality" rule. It's really stupid on Warcraft 3. Maybe it's a strategy of the website, but asking people to be original in a 10-years old game is unfair. After all, if a map is good, even if its the 25083rd version of Dota, why reject it? More, remember original maps are NOT played a lot. Then, if a player makes a hero siege, and the map is playable, that's enough, no?
3-Fake moderators: of course you are allowed to give your opinion. I remember for RC601 when Cweener, before being a moderator, made its review. You know what? For once, it was a REAL review: when I pmed him, he answered me. Example: "Bad terrain". Okay, cool. You spent 1 month on a terrain, a man says it's bad. Cool. This will really help. A guy like Cweener, after my question, answered something like "use less symmetry, more doodads, more diversity in objects on the map". This is a good advice.
But to all fake-moderators, when you vote for rejection, explain why.
And "Bad description, bad gameplay, vote for rejection" is noobish. People doing this are just stupid guys. They are not better than noobs.
So, what I propose in this 3rd point is: moderators please moderate fake moderators which just flame when lazy and do NOT contribute to the improvement of a map.
4-Because they are a lot of users which just read the description instead of testing the maps, stop to concentrate only on the description. Warcraft 3 maps are made to be played, not read -_-.
Have a good day,
Edit
Okay, now, I'm really bored to read the comments on the map section. Dudes, seriously: stop to FLAME a map creator and vote for the rejection of the map if the guy did not make a description with 250+ bbcodes items. This is stupid.
A description should just...say in a few words what the map is about. If you want to test the map, PLAY IT. Other things are bonus. Not more.
Example: a dude uploads a tower defense. Voting for rejection when the guy put in description an update log + 3-4 lines is incredibly stupid. If you think the description is not showing you how the map is, that's NORMAL. To test the map, PLAY IT. On the other side, it's not because this guy did not write the complete description of the towers available in the map that the map is good.
Just play to review, stop read. That's annoying to see how a lot of people just look at the design of a description instead of looking the map itself.
