These rejected maps?

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Hi, I noticed last week when pending maps were lowered to one page, that maps were 'rejected.'

Here is an example of three maps I reviewed/commented on, I see no clear comments voting for rejection, and I did not find moderator comments declaring the maps rejected.

Another reason I'm posting this, is because I wanted to download galactic risk, clockwork arena is really fun, and vengeful comeback compared to others was not to bad of a melee map.

I just want to point out there was no clear rejection, and the recources were suddenly unavailable.

Rejected reviews are usually in the Moderator's comment.

 

[Daffa]

Contact the respective mod who moderate the map.

I do actually like the idea of rejected maps still being available.
You know sort of a soft copy for all users, although others not available to the public that contain inappropriate material.

Not really saying that the mods should go through all the old maps and do as I suggested to them.

 

[Ralle]

I agree. Like with tutorials. Rejected material should be available if it is rejected because of poor quality. If however it is rejected because of stealing, copyright infringement or offensive content, it should be deleted.

 

[Daffa]

Then remove the This Resources not Available Message
I'll be happy to get my hand on rejected maps, Stolen Maps needs to be deleted

 

[PurgeandFire]

Usually for those reasons it should be marked under "Needs fix", in my opinion (at least for the ones that need better descriptions). That way it is still open for users but isn't approved.

However, in cases such as this, you can always PM any resource mod (like me) and we'll put the map on pastebin for you, so long as it isn't rejected because of stealing/copyright infringement/offensive content.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Okay, thank you everyone. Time to hunt for the mod to give me galactic risk.

 

[Daffa]

PurgeandFire, Map Section doesn't show map with "Needs Fix" prefix, unlike Spells Section.

 

[Map Designer]

wait, isnt there someplace called grave yard or so so that rejected resources go to?

 

[Daffa]

At Map Section, once a resources rejected, the resources is inaccessible, while the Needs Fix ones can be accessed but it needs a link to it first, it's better if resources section have graveyard like JASS resources.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Graveyard? Sounds cheesy.

Approval = Quality maps
Rejected = Low Quality maps, stolen recources, other stuff
New Feature hopefully created = Low Quality maps that *can* be fixed

 

[Map Designer]

...it's better if resources section have graveyard like JASS resources.

aha,
so grave yard is only in jass section,
I see...

 

[Daffa]

Here's what I know so far : in Map, Icons, Tools, Models Section, once a resources marked needs fix, it's unavailable unless you manage to get the needs fix resources's link.
But in Spell Section, a resources that marked Needs Fix, still accessible (although you can't filter them, at least they can be seen in the section if you browse each page without searching for any status of spell, you can find many Needs Fix spells.

 

[Orcnet]

About OP's reply, I'm the one who moderated them and I must say 1st and 2nd's map description is lacking, while the 3rd one has a lot of map problems, still I'm waiting for them to revision it so I can either set it back to pending or approve

I heard rumours long ago that Ralle want to make the resource section for Hive2.0 more wc3c-akin, meaning that you have a submission 'pile', that when moderated either gets to the section it needs to or or some kind of trash bin or graveyard.
I think it would be a great idea since, rejected resources are available and mods can still delete resources that violate the rules.

 

[TaShadan]

Well this map http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/warcraft-total-war-1-07c-232804/ was rejected without a reason aswell.

Who did moderate it?

Yeah, and that is also a good idea that rejected models be available to regular users like us.

True indeed, but there should be a big warning that those might not work.

 

[Daffa]

This also needs to applied to every kind of resources (icons, skins, maps, spells and even tools)

Just as on wc3c.
But resource that violate the rules immensely should just be delete or put away from users.

I dont know. Iam not the author of this map. It was just rejected without a comment.

 

[Daffa]

It's there I think, on the Moderator Comment which we can't see.

 

[PurgeandFire]

It is there. I suppose the mod comments are not visible to other users though:

Orcnet: the game takes too long to generate gold mines and the starting bases for the players find a way to reduce the wait, no much environment doodads and cliff varations that give multi-use of the whole map by means of decor and strategy, work the quest menu as a space for changelogs, updates, and credits. Any else can be approved

 

[Orcnet]

I am about to post this, but I took an arrow in the knee

 

[TaShadan]

ok thx. I think your suggestions are good but the map wasnt that bad that it has to be removed.

 

[Ralle]

I dont know. Iam not the author of this map. It was just rejected without a comment.

Please post in Admin Contact to resolve this.

 

[Daffa]

@Ralle
Isn't it better if this just posted in Staff Contact? This is a Resources Moderation issue (SC is actually also serve that purpose)

 

[Ralle]

Oops. That's what I meant. Old habit.

 

[Daffa]

XD
Maybe you should keep memorize what is each Contact Us part for , Chief

I suppose the mod comments are not visible to other users

Yep
