| I'd change something in the structure of the map comment page. like two lines: (i try to draw it, may look ugly) ------------------------------------------------- [ 0 ] Add Rating (Add rating from 0 worst to...) ------------------------------------------------- Comments | GMCS (4 Elements) | Replays ------------------------------------------------- Starparty: | SP vs Panschk I am the guy who always writes | SP vs SP2 tons of comments and am now used | Panschk vs SP as a test object %) | Panschk: | And i'm the website creator, you | should obbey my command! muaha!! | something like that (hope the "picture" works *pray* ) | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 17:22 | ||
| sp replay should be lower than before? Or what do you actually want to change. I honestly don't see a real purpose in changing it though^_^; | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 17:36 | ||
| sp=so :[ | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 17:37 | ||
 same pic if link does not work that what i tried to sugguest :) | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 18:05 | ||
| it is for the better look, as well as it makes the GMCS feature more visible and it changes the rating thing to one combined block with cleaner look. something like that was in my mind. | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 18:07 | ||
| ah, and maybe you could go around the page and shorten these explaining comments i.e. You can rate the maps here. Chose a grade between 0 (worst) and 10 (best). to Rate the map: 0 (worst), 10 (best) After some things are almost selfexplaining, i think, some text could be shortened. But, as the one above, minor changes, which take just a few minutes if you don't have much time to change something on the site, these things could be done ;) | ||

| after reading bongees post to a map: Are you still on this "Thumb rating system" ? I'd still appreciate something like that. Just Thumb up, diagonally up, horizontal, diagonally down, and thumb down. maybe we should consider about evolving a good system based on thumbs, as someone, starparty?, mentioned before. | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 18:23 | ||
| Or simply remove it. Its of no greater purpose, i dont even vote at all anymore. Actually i havnt been voting for the last month. CHANGE THE UPLOADING TEXT :OOO There must be some kind of warnign telling the user that if he uploads 20 maps in a row, we wont be able to give good feedback :/ also do a better cmparison to what should be a "user-final" because "user-final" is a category we place maps that WE say are finnished, NOT the CREATOR :P | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 18:28 | ||
| If I may make a suggestion, Please remove the catagory "user-final" from the selection menu on the upload screen. Allow that catagory for use only by the admins. Would you be able to do that? | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 19:48 | ||
| Same as starparty, i don't vote anymore cuz it's useless.. Is it possible to introduce the time and date of a comment like on the forums, but in the map comments.. ? | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 20:09 | ||
| Daleadil, we've thought about that, and as it is now it might actually be a good sollution. Atleats the "user final" text must be changed. People missunderstand it as its their call to say when the map in question is ready for that category. | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 20:21 | ||
| More maps would get exposure if there was a random map thing where it would show a random map every few minutes like on top of the "newest updates" which would help bring older maps to the surface. or maybe have the system periodically pump random maps to the newest updates list. and perhaps make a seperate section for higher quality user maps, so user-beta wont get too crowded, and neither would user-final. | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 20:53 | ||
| that is alot of suggestion that collide with eachother :P | ||
| 2005, 08, 16 21:01 | ||
| A separate section for "high quality" maps would make the site seem elitist :[ | ||
| 2005, 08, 17 04:48 | ||
| specially since, unfortunately, only a few names would dominate that list :P | ||
| 2005, 08, 17 13:16 | ||
| don't know if this was also suggested, but anyways: i think you should include the image of a map in the map-page itself and not just provide a link called "picture" link, which btw opens a new tab in Firefox , etc. when i click on a map name, the information i want the most is the picture and i see no reason not to put it directly on the map page, unless this is done to reduce server traffic. in that case you could provide a relatively small image of the map which links to a full size image or sth. another cool feature would be, to have a mouse-over effect in the map lists (i.e. 5 newest maps) which would show a small image of the map. but again, this may greatly increase the server traffic. another thing i would add: in map lists, the author should be "clickable" in a way, that a click on a author name provides the list of all map this user has submitted. i already saw that the feature to show this list exists, but i dunno how i got there. so, it shoud be easy to just change plain AUTHOR to [LINK TO MAPS FROM AUTHOR]AUTHOR[/LINK]. well, that's all i can think of right now, well, maybe apart from some standard things i generally dislike about webpages: BIGGER FONTS! and not so much unused space. (for example: the forum could have a higher width, etc). | ||

by starparty: Well, when I made the site I wanted user-final to be maps the user consideres final. It is YÒU who changed the definition of "user-final". imo you should be allowed to decide if your map is final yourself, as starparty won't make the map final for you anyway. another thing i would add: in map lists, the author should be "clickable" in a way, that a click on a author name provides the list of all map this user has submitted. i already saw that the feature to show this list exists, but i dunno how i got there. so, it shoud be easy to just change plain AUTHOR to [LINK TO MAPS FROM AUTHOR]AUTHOR[/LINK]. good idea. I will make that in next update. | ||

| Concerning rating system: I will not change it to a thumbs up/down system. period. And I don't want to remove it, even though it is not used much anymore. Experienced posters on this page don't pay attention to it, but someone who is newbie might want to show his sympathy towards a map or even a mapper by giving a good grade, even without posting something. I remember on a lot of websites I was voting in polls even if I never posted in boards (mostly due to language barrier). | ||

| Make forumsposts 1 row (i know you wont, thats why im whining) AND make 5 latest forumpost instead of 3. | ||

| "Well, when I made the site I wanted user-final to be maps the user consideres final. It is YÒU who changed the definition of "user-final". imo you should be allowed to decide if your map is final yourself, as starparty won't make the map final for you anyway." One of the ground principles of the site, as you stated yourself, was to maintain the quality. I dont have to explain myself anymore :P perhaps it would be alright with a ratingsystem (non-abuseable) where the good maps went on top. But that seems impossible.. iono.. and also discriminating :P | ||
