DL'ing a map, playing it, finding out it's shit: 25 minutes
Choice is yours dude.
Anyway, I agree with Stevie about the ratings system. Although I'm not worried about too low of scores, but too high of scores. Standards in the zombies community are waaaaay too low. Prison Mission has 10 stars on ZM, and it's literally the worst map I ever played. Universal democracy is wrong, some people just don't deserve an opinion. Too many noobs shotgunning out "BEST MAP EVAR" (it's the first map they've played...)
Nonetheless, we need a rating system because reviewers can't get 'em all. I'm currently working on a (glowing) Das Herrenhaus review, but that's just one of the many maps currently out, and I've already missed many I'd have liked to review. Just not enough time, especially since I'm working on a map of my own.
Would be nice if UGX tracked an individual's downloads, and that was part of the criteria... so like 100 posts, 30 maps DL'd
You're 'currently working' on a review? Damn, I didn't realise reviewers spent this long on them, anyway I digress.
A simple solution to the 'noobs can't be trusted' conundrum is like I said, any coloured ranked member can vote (from Famous Male Pornstars to Mapper Elites and everything in between) - I can't see how anyone would have opposition to that?
And the tracking downloads thing would be impossible since most maps are linked through Mega/Mediafire, etc and not through the site directly.
And I think people are still getting hung up on the name. I repeat 'First Mappers' or w/e it should be called is a EUPHEMISM, stop taking it literally. We all know it really means 'Shit Maps' but of course we can't have that as a section (sigh), it DOESN'T MATTER if it's your first or 100th map; if it's shit it goes there, if it's good it doesn't. End of.
When they stop releasing crap..
I think you missed the point.
The problem with colored names is that donators are included, and literally anyone with $3 can become a donator.
Besides, I'm probably a prime target for people like that, I can already picture plenty of people rating Oil Rig a 1 because they think I'm a cunt, but you know what? I'll happily accept that if it means we get a rating system in place.

IMO Stevie seems to have hit the nail on the head.
Can a moderator open a poll so that the community can vote for a ranking system and its rules? And if we hit "x" amount of votes can a system be implemented?

1. I disagree with 90% of the scores on the Reviews section, cause you get shit like "I only played it once and got bored so I give it 3/10 for replayability" and "There was a WaW stock gun so -3 points on custom content" other crap.
Has the ability to issue warnings to users, edit and remove posts from the forum and to move topics to other boards. Upholds the rules of the forum. Moderates Chat Rooms. |
If the mods can't distinguish between something that took 5 mins to make and something that has obviously had effort put into then I'm more than happy to fulfill that role, it doesn't take a genius to see that something like 'Box Sniper One Window NGT Challenge Cube' should go in the 'New Mapper' section and something like Herrenhaus or Leviathan should go in the proper map section - it's a disgrace they are even in the same forum subsection IMO (but then again what do I know?)
The UGX Launcher will allow you to rate a map out of 10 stars, this feature has already been planned for more than a year.
