Shouldn't have to download icons to mini-moderate.

They're not like a model/skin that you have to see moving to appreciate fully, nor do they have to be played like a map. What you see on the site is all you'll see ingame, so you shouldn't have to download an icon to approve it in the mini moderators box.

It could decrease server load my a small margin as well, with less people having to dl.

The use of downloading icons is to check if they actually work.

Wrong.

The preview image shown on the website is lower quality (.jpg) than the one downloaded. Therefore, it gets blurrier, fuzzier, more details are lost, etc.

You *do* need to download and check an icon to get a clean picture of the things. Checking them in-game is also recommended, to get an idea of how well they fit with the environment of Blizzard/other custom icons.

Exactly.

And most importantly most icons look pretty but suck in practice because they don't fit into the game at all. That can be hard to tell if they aren't side to side with ingame icons.

Not to forget, if they dont have an alpha channel they wont show up properly ingame.

Then use a .png.

Never had issues with .png before.

Also, you dont even have to dl, you can tap the buttan and then close out of it and you can mini-moderate. although i do get where you are going, everyone raises valid points.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

You also have to post a comment in order to mini-moderate.

I suppose it makes sense. PurplePoot had the best reason by far, though.
