LOL, 2-3 days ago i submited a map here and it was in beta stage so you know the possible outcome-graveyard, but how the hell would i know that only maps that very few people like (staff, moderators etc..)can approve it so it can be in the download section?!?!?!
You should immediately add with font size 30,red colour font, and bold saying: we have very low user base not like wc3sear.ch or other web sites and we add maps to download section only maps when few (7-8) staff members like it and approve it, if those 6-7 people dont like it then it wont be added to the download section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How would you know it?

By reading the "Rules: Maps section" announcement at the top of the page.

I don't think we should add red bolded text explaining things for people who aren't clever enough to just read announcements, take a guess, why do you think there is a link called "Rules" at the top of the forum?

Maps doesn't need 7-8 approvals, but we won't let anything in, we are a quality over quantity site, unlike sites such as wc3search.

I don't think 95% of all people are morons, but if they are, then it is their own problem. People should learn to read before they learn to complain.

I don't see why they would read the other thing if they don't want to read the rules anyways.

Reading the announcement would have taking you shorter time than creating this thread anyways, and if your map is so crappy that you can't wait a few minutes reading the rules that it must follow, then I guess that I understand why it was not approved.

EDIT: Sorry if I sound angry, this whole thread is just idiotic.

lol i did not make this post to argue with you, although you are pushing me and i'm very respectful, the thing is you canot call 95% of the people moron beacose if those 95% read your post at least some of them will not come again on this site. Now i respect your thing with the approval but i say there should be a bold red text font size 30 so people dont miss it!!!!

First part of your post makes no sense to me.

Second part: Read my above posts for an answer.

Well, Tiki is a staff member too.

And starting all posts with "lol" and ending all posts with "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" makes you look like a 12 years old, no offence.

Just read the rules, they are easy to find and read, at least they have been so for the rest of us.

hahahaha, so for the rest of us?!, i've been through the graveyard and 80% of the maps submited were submited like mine, not knowing the approval thing, and yes i did read the rules but you are not following me!
- I sed you should add or make that sentence with the approval thing if it really exists with bold and bigger font!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that can be a reason as to why they are in the graveyard?

You are contradicting yourself.

I am sure the rest of the staff shares my opinion when I say that adding an oversized, red, bold sentence saying something already in the rules, which are easy to see, is a horrible idea.

Just read the rules and follow them instead of creating a show.

Anyone who doesn't bother to read submission rules and submits a crap map will just have to deal with the fact that their map gets rejected. We're not adding any big bold red warning messages, end of story.

I don't think it is possible to skip that message about the rules and get to the "Manage Attachments" buttons or even the "Submit new thread" button unless a guy intentionally ignores it. But if somebody intentionally ignores the advice about the rules then there's little we can do.

SlickR if you are pissed/dissapointed at this site please go somewhere else.

I am closing this thread
