Map downloads archive is tripin!

I don't know if its just me but it seems like the map downloads archive is acting really weird. I tried to submit my map a few times and it said that I couldn't because of a bunch of reasons, then today, after its updated, the map archive is full of empty faceless maps with mixed up names! We need technical support over there. Another thing, how in the world do you update a map that you already submitted without flooding the archive with additional versions. There are 3 versions of my map but I only want the last one posted! I emailed the admin so many times but I am being ignored...HELP.

Hmm i think you uploading 50 copies of your map broke the system... quiet an odd bug, i almost banned you for till i saw this post. the first you uploaded it was enough, the stuff you upload doenst show up right away, it needs to be moderated first. anyway we are workin on the fixing this issue now.

Edit: its been fixed, but we lost the last 5 uploaded maps.

First of all you CANNOT upload files with "100% identical names" it will GIVE you an error.

Secondly, since you submitted ALOT of times, it eventually cracked up the system and allowed duplication of files. Anyway, it has been already fixed and should not screw the system anymore.

So, BEWARE! The Download section is NOT a section for dumping Incomplete/Scratch/WIP/ or even 100 map versions. Only finalized hardworked maps/tools are allowed.

Note: We are in a process of wiping out, unnecessary junk files.

Thank you guys so much for fixing the problem with the map archive. I am just gonna stop using it until I know exactly how to update my old maps. What I really wanted to do is update my old versions since the very first duplicate I sent. Any way, I apologize sincerely for making such a mess of it, promise I wont do it again, thx for not baning me from the website.

P.S: While you guys are at it, please delete the 2 old versions of my map. It is quite embarrassing really, having lots of old versions up there.

420 baby!

Thanks for getting rid of that nuisance for me. It was really an eye sore every time I looked at 3 of them in a row...heh!

[edit]: Now that everything looks so neat I have a quick question that will help me use the map archive properly.

Q: How do I upload an update to my map without flooding the archive and crashing the whole system like I did before? Do I contact one of you guys so you can delete the old version then I upload the new one or is there a certain procedure that I should follow?
