Alright, we will begin with a thinning of the archive. Nowhere near the purge that Sansui wants. That is just illogical IMO. I will never never never delete a decent map just because its been buried in the archives for a long time or are not quite DC quality. Thinning some of the junk on the surface may help such maps get downloads again.
No alpha stage maps is already a rule. No betas would kill over 90% of the archive, including some of the best maps.
I will chew off my right foot before I promote people to mods just to delete stuff. Moderating involves much more then just that. I WILL be asking people in the near future if they would be interested in mod positions, but overall I will simply be promoting the exiting ones to be able to cover all sections, because I trust their common sense.
Codemaster2, you are a fine individual. I wish there were more people like you. Only a true supporter of thise site would do such a thing despite obvious financial difficulties. I will make sure you are recognized for this.
I'm teaching 6 hours a day with 4 hours "unnofficial" work I have to do at the school (i.e. tutoring). So my days are long and busy at the moment. Likely this weekend I will begin map thinning and promoting mods to deal with the other sections.
Sorry for the double post, but you know how non-secure computers and logging in are....
If you are wondering by whos standards maps will be judged by, it will be mine. However there is the obvious problems of not being enouph map testers. More will be asked to be mods in the very near future (should they choose to accept it).
Forums clean will not be nessesary. It doesnt take that much space as it is, and its good for us to know exactly how active people are. -VGsatomi
CodeMaster2Purging will only help to a certain extent, everyone knows that and they just want to avoid donating.
If you actually think that just using age/financial state as an excuse to not help the site, then whatever. If it makes you feel better then tell yourself what you need, but don't waste the server's space, it's cluttered as it is. -.-
Well gee... if you want donations so badly... I guess I could donate the only $1 I've ever had... (Which is pretty much my entire piggy bank)
Hey VG I can test maps around here if u want I would like to help in any way I can, I know that being a moderator is tiring sometimes and if more are called then I am proposed to do it but lets see what happens in the choosing of the moderators ok?
you have to raise the bar on quality accepted to the site or we will face this problem again.
Demos/alphas should all be deleted. People should host demos/alpha themselves, or at file hosting sites(plenty of free ones), and then post them in the maps forum. that would reduce ALOT

I whole-heartedly agree with this. I don't think anyone enjoys playing unfinished stuff, I don't, at least.

Yep i agree with sansui, why host maps here that for one arent finished, some have alot of bugs.
I have seen some good maps but really buggy. Anyway... VG it seems you have you work cut out for you
but lets see what happens in the choosing of the moderators ok?
