Problems at sending maps

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

When I send a map, I cant put a name and description for him.
Someone can help me?

 

[PurplePoot]

"send a map"

do you mean post a map?

uploading resources is down at the moment, please read the news.

 

[EveOfFire]

Hey, do you know a place we can put our maps before all of this gets up?

 

[Teifi]

I guess www.epicwar.com suffices, but its painful.

 

[EveOfFire]

How so?

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

Well, and when I can try to post my maps again?

 

[Kimbo]

heh, probably never here...

/me giggles*

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

When I try to subimit a map, dont apears a place so I can put his name and description. This function was disabled or I am doing something wrong?

 

[PurplePoot]

Wc3search draws that from the map itself.

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

Well, I have sended the map, and some hours later, it was been deleted because it was no name and description.

 

[AxlIdiot]

Then its got a broken link....

 

[Ramza]

it isnt being deleted cuz u dont have a description... red the news like purplepoot alrdy said..

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

I already have seen the news, but my map was deleted because I was violated the rules posting my map without the name and description. I have received a pm about this.
I want to know if i am doining something wrong and learn how to do this correctily.

 

[Ramza]

u dont fill that in on this site, but in the editor at map options, but u cant upload maps now anywo so doesnt rly matter xD

 

[Dark Defiler]

Hi, Ham Ham. You joined recently, didn't you?

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

There must have one bug in the sending of maps. Many maps are being posteds without name or description.

 

[PurplePoot]

i am going to say this one more time.

Read the news!

 

[Ramza]

ok u ignore our posts or anything? u CANT upload ur maps now, site is down, but if u still upload it, one of the map mods will delete it

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

Okay okay, I already stoped to try it. But as I go to know if the space was set free? As I can see there are one month than the news are not posted.

It goes to be announced in the news?

 

[Dark Defiler]

When they fix the webspace problem it will(probably) be announced in the news section.

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

Owright, I will to try to find other website to post my maps until this problem is solved. Sorry for any bother.

 

[PurplePoot]

im pretty sure www.epicwar.com works

oh, and you werent really a bother :?

most people will submit their map, ill go and delete it ( for the obv reason of a broken link ), theyll send me a ?? or flame PM, then submit it again, etc, etc...

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

Hmm, and why you dont simply remove the link for sending resources?

 

[PurplePoot]

idk, ask darky ( who rarely logs on )

 

[Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm]

Lets see if I understanded it:
People will continue posting resources and be punished without knowing the cause of the punish and the administrators will not go do anything about this?

 

[Mecheon]

Pretty much

That'll teach them to read the news next time, won't it?

 

[donut3.5]

People will continue to run right over that first page and the billions of posts stating they can't post resources and post them anyways, in which the mods go into angry-someone-was-a-noob-rawr mode in which they devour the soul and essence of the resource. The poster of said resource cannot figure out why it was so savagely murdered while looking at the many posts he did and still apparently does not look at and decides to write to the moderators a (not so) kind note which usually has:
$!#@$
a few of these:
N000BZ!!!!111
some of these:
ZOMGZ WHY DID YOU DELETE MY REZORSE? IT WAS T3H PWNZ0RS!
And typically one of these:
YOU R T3H WURST MOD EVER! EAT SH*T N DIE NUB!
Add a few tasteless flames and you get 99% of the mods inboxes.
The moderators then sigh, make a voodoo doll of such ignorant flamer, and then feed them to the pandas at the local zoo.
And yes, pandas can be quite vicious.
That last part is what I would do if I was a mod, dunno what you guys exactly do...

To summarize:
Noob->doesn't read news->posts resource->mod kills resource->noob gets angry and flames->pandas get food.
Moral of the story:
Feed the pandas. Flame a mod.
Waaait...
REAL moral of the story:
READ THE NEWS!

[Dark Defiler]

Wow :lol: !

 

[PurplePoot]

actually, i just get a million PMs responding to that automatic 'Your Map have been deleted' PM that gets sent when i delete someone's map... here are some examples (CnP from my inbox). Theyre not really bad, but theyre annoying :?

----------------------------

HI!
I need some help in uploading my map.
Do i need anything special?
i can't get it to work and im clueless

(response)

uuh... read the news, please.

(BTW, dont bother responding to Your Map Have Been Deleted, its an automated PM.)

---------------------------

Most PMs are like that ( HELP I CANT UPLOAD MY MAP!!111, which, though better than flame, is still annoying :?

 

[donut3.5]

Automated messages ftw!

[PurplePoot]

Yeah, but i guess you need them to tell people that their map got deleted :?
