We've had this discussion before
This would in theory condemn any map even I make now to the "first maps" section - which would make it automatically associated with a box map - not just me, but in fact a lot of members who spend years working on their maps
For example, stevies first map that wasn't for the contest was oil rig, although ultimately industrial estate came out before it
So at least one of those two maps would also have been condemned to this

Yes but we've been through this before. 'First maps' is a euphemism for 'Garbage maps', it doesn't necessarily have to be someone's first map. Hell, it could be their 10th map - if it's still crap it goes in the 'First maps' section. If someone's first map is good then obviously they can go straight into the proper maps section.
Anyway I've been banging this drum for months now and nothing ever happens with it, I've also been asking for a simple 10 star rating system for all releases by alas that's fallen on deaf ears too (or I get told there's no point because that feature will be in the 'upcoming' UGX Launcher...I still see no reason why we can't have both, or better still link them.)
i dunno, I mean who decides? I see people shit all over even good maps and praise the utter crap
My experience with rating systems also brings me doubts, as certain people exist solely for the purpose of being malicious
Not just that, what respectable person here will even enter that section and discover a "gem in the rough"
I thought this was the reason we had reviewers, read the review to decide if it's worth it rather than by some arbitrary score people will just abuse

The reviews are so damn lengthy half the time. Thats why I never read them.
Here is a new idea then: Implement a rating system and only map reviewers can review the maps. Now map reviewers have purpose other than writing witty novels for a map review.
just not any old user regardless of the 20 post count restrictions, I got past that within. 4 days of joining

So what's wrong with that? I don't understand? Besides everyone and their mother is a map reviewer these days anyway.
the "point" is just passing a spam check does not mean someone can be trusted to have a true reflection on people's work. If you can pass it in 4 days you can still be and blind dumb evil hater here just to - to quote a member - "just Tate everything a 1 coz I don't like the site" etc
But the map reviewers deciding what should go where I could agree with - just not any old user regardless of the 20 post count restrictions, I got past that within. 4 days of joining
Only problem i see with this is a section for "Maps nobody will play" and a section for "Maps people will play"
because most people will want to play maps that they know are going to be good, and by having a section for first maps will ultimately get no attention.
That's the idea...
That's the wrong idea.... lol. How is anybody going to grow to be known in the community if their map gets no attention?

You can pick out the good maps really easily just by pictures. Look at TheRelaxingEnd for example. He clearly doesn't make a video of boxmap 2.0. Why not just browse the "First Maps Section" for some gold just by a picture and well listed features?
