Is it possible to have some quality control in the maps section? I don't mean "ELITISM! IF YOUR MAP IS NOT GODDAMN PERFECT WE'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU....TWICE!". I mean, if a map's obviously terrible from start to finish, if the creator obviously didn't even bother making an effort, can we just close it, post a link to the "mapping tutorials and resources" post and get on with it?
Maybe I'm at the wrong mindset here, but I honestly don't think [ame=http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9931]shit[/ame] [ame=http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9717]like[/ame] [ame=http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9704]this[/ame] really belongs here...
Now, some maps aren't that good, some are pretty bad, but there's a difference between [ame=http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9805]someone just learning the ropes and just generally being new at this[/ame] and someone who doesn't give two shits... [see previous examples].
It's particularly striking in [ame=http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9931]the first example[/ame] where we're actually expected to take it seriously. Really...? ...REALLY?
What do you want me to say if I take it seriously? "This is terrible, it has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. Try spending more than 2 minutes in hammer before releasing something."? Or is the flood of sarcastic "BEST MAP EVUR!!", "SHULD B OFFICAL!" posts that much better than anything else someone might post?
So yeah, can we just lock these when they pop up? Not the genuine posts by new mappers, but just the downright terrible troll posts?
