As a solution to this, i can't believe that making another forum section where beginner maps get dropped can't be made.I've been banging this drum for a while now, a new section in Releases called 'New Mappers' or 'Box Maps' or w/e you wanna call it would be a great idea.
So when the map then get's positive feedback, it still can be moved to the regular map section.
Or that maps get controlled before they are posted.
This is just a problem that can't be postponed and postponed. It's similar to the 20 comments rule (maybe do something similar if it isn't done already but i guess not).
Maybe someone with other solutions to get this problem out of the world?

I am not against the idea of a new mapper section, but where do you draw the line at a new mapper exactly? My favorite map on this entire scene is a first map, namely Nacht Der Toten Walder. Would that class as a new map, because as far as I am concerned it beats mappers work who are considered vets in this scene easily.Because, and I know you agree with this Zen, box maps are not constructive to this scene in any way shape or form. I merely said 'New Mapper' section as it sounds less derogatory than a 'Box Maps' section, but if we're going to get pedantic here, then of course 'new mappers' who actually put effort and time into their maps (Weezy's map being a great example) would be fine to post their map in the actual Released Maps section. Someone with a working pair of eyes can tell the difference between a box map and a 'proper' map, I just think it would be a win-win for all parties involved. Box mappers would attract less hate and criticism because their maps would be in the appropriate section (and those few who do actually like these things would be able to find these types of maps much easier :P), and those of us who prefer maps that took longer than an hour to make would be able to look through the releases section without wading through tons and tons of 'less than desirable' maps.
How about we just let new mappers post in the same scene everyone else does and if it's not considered as good enough for some they either post constructive criticism or just avoid the thread completely?
It works that way easily, so long as people comply.

The one that uses his brains comes up with a solution instead of nitpicking on every map similar to this one.true words spoken
Everyone is right and nobody needs to leave. I'm gonna keep my opinion on these maps for myself because sometimes it is better to do that.
Now because this "problem" that is way to common needs to be solved somehow. You can't delete these maps every time. And everyone learns, some a lot faster then others. Wouldn't like to throw a way a potential mapper that needs a lot of time to learn this (And i don't want any comment on this).
And yes, some people like these maps, so let them play these maps.

I was right and im happy to see the actions you have taken.
The map is good but when I go to the ppsh door the zombies will block. And the deadshot is useless
