So I've seen a few threads going around like
'Why remove moonlight lake'
'Remove demon's breeze'
'Remove freeze island'
The map standards of MCSG need to be raised. There needs to be more order when adding and submitting maps. I suggest (as I've said on another thread) to make a sort of Map Makers judging panel , where you take a few of mcsg's best builders , and let them decide amongst themselves as to what maps get added or removed. Map makers would be the best people for the job as they would have more experience in deciding what maps are quality and which aren't than the staff or the community in general. Voting to remove maps is a terrible idea as people may enjoy the poorly built maps as they may have an over powered chest route or they have won on that particular map multiple times. That would result in the removal of the maps (like fortress pyke for example) that are well built but barely ever played.
Another thing that annoyed me was that the other day I went on to have a look at the hive forums and see what kind of maps where being submitted over there , and I see a map which is no better than moonlight lake , and in the comments some guy wrote
"Sorry but this isn't MCSG"
Something needs to be changed.
So here's how we go about it.
You must apply to get into the MCSG's Builder Panel (that's what I've dubbed it).
Your app would require at least one map made by you and screenshots of your best builds. It would also include the basic information about you , why you would want to join... Blah blah blah... Much like a mod app. There should also be an age cap at around 13+ so that there could be a good level of maturity without ruling out the good builders who are young. Of course you would need to be mature regardless of your age to get accepted in the first place.
Judging maps.
This would be judged on
gameplay
Layout and design
Uniqueness
Build quality
Terrain quality
And chest placement.
All of the panel would vote whether or not to accept or deny a players map. This would be done by having a map submission page (again like an application) where the map is not debated by the community , but accepted or denied by the builders panel. This would mean that there would be no 'ADD THIS MAP CHAD!!' As every map would be looked at by the panel and each one would either be accepted or denied , no waiting around forever hoping your map gets added.
I hope somebody from the staff sees this , especially ChadTheDJ
