DeathbringerIf i had any html or phpbb skills I would run off and start my own Wc3 resource site, one with stricter rules and limits for those with less experience.
But since I can't Im stuck here I guess, wading neck high in newbies. I vote we rewrite the rules, and I say Vexorian should do it.
What about me and my kind Deathbringer surely i cannot join in your site because i have less experience & above all a moralist who has no palce in the art gallery.

"Newbies" and "those with less experience" are two different types of people. The problem is with Noobs, not those with less experience.
Many of you seem to be complaining about trolls/spammers in the comments section and such...then tell me this...why arent you reporting the comments/posts? Thats what we mods are here for. -VGsatomi
To all idiots who post everyday useless comments: Brave Vexorian. I hate to see a resource being loaded with spam and flaming. As a mod, I'll simply destroy any comment I see is useless. And dare you flame me back for that you get warned.
I got an idea for the voting problem. If someone could change the voting sytem then we could have it so when you click to vote something it has a Post Reply format and in order for your vote to count you must post something, and aswell as showing your post it would say your vote at the start. I don't know how well this would work though cause then we'd have down-voters posting stupid stuff aswell as rating horribly.

Are you saying something more like wc3campaign's art gallery? I'd consider an idea like that. But if they just put the vote, I will warn them.
I think for the skin section it should be burned down and rebuilt with some eye for quality in every skin or it gets removed. They don't all have to be awesome but some standard should be kept.
man i couldnt agree more. so many people here are abusing the voting system terribly, sometimes just to piss people off. i wouldnt mind it too much if the whole voting shit was taken off, you cant get any feedback from numbers, but you can get feedback from peoples comments. the only problem is that there are very few comments that actually help. i'd suggest either making it like wc3campaigns, or mabey having a list on how many people voted a certain number instead of giving you a general average to show how it was "lamered" when it really deserves a 5 since 10 other people voted a 5. but as for darky, he didnt leave becuse of the site, he left becuse of WoW...

A problem got NEVER solved by flaming or violence. If you ever feel violated by a users post, goddamn IGNORE it or REPORT it, that's why we mods are here.
I think all of us agree with Vexorian (except those who proliferate the downvoting). You see all kinds of comments that flame, but are not constructive. You can report these, but you can’t report people who vote 1 on a perfect 5 map, icon, model, skin, spell, JASS, ect. True, that is a huge problem, but how is it going to be fixed? All those who do this downvoting probably read these comments and went on a 1-voting-spree.
I perfectly agree with Ander1345 that a system must be created to lower (because you’ll never rid yourself of the problem) the ability to downvote. Too much “retaliation voting” happens on the site. Having a rank would be a good idea, but also why not only let someone vote a 1 once every day or two. If somebody really had a huge problem with a map, icon, skin, model, spell, JASS, ect. then they would use up their single 1 vote and that would be that until the next day. This might cause people to give up judging poorly and actually make them start looking at the map or cause the idiots to leave the site.
Adding a whole new system of “good” and “evil” would take a lot of work and without Darky’s support, would it ever leave the ground? I PMed him about adding a new Infocard section to the Icons, but that was about two weeks ago and I haven’t heard a word out of him. I’m sure if we saw the return of Darky (especially after this post), we would see an overall improvement.
VGsatomiI admit the skins section is basically lost. It probably would be better it it was simply started over from scratch, where we could then better monitor the stuff coming in.
As for rebuilding the Skins or Models, that may be too big of an undertaking. If you delete all of them, you are deleting some of the best models seen to date. Not everyone will resubmit these models, leaving it open for fakers to resubmit the models that they downloaded and claim them as their own. If you decide to keep some models and delete the rest, who decides what is acceptable to keep? It’s all in the eye of the beholder. I would like to see a scouring of all sections, but this might cause more harm than good.
WarcraftIII.net I get right votes not just 1 and 5. It is better place host maps expect that limit is 2MB.
It is better place because experiensed mappers etc actually rate my resource and give it 4-5 star when many vote. When here one person voted my Clord Hero Siege v1.40 to two star I wonder if he played it much online.
The icon section is an mess, i would like stricter rules when it comes to submiting icons. i want this rules to be added:
-Must have an correct looking DISBTN (this would give me an reson to delete alot of crap since they never have DISBTN's)
-No ingame screenshots
-CnP's must be realy good looking
As for the skin section, i don't think the skin mods does their job when it comes to deleting skins. if i were an skin mod then i would have had no mercy, all useless crappy recolors, CnP and poor paint atempts would have been gone.
I know, ive been a flamer too..(was really pissed off seeing only 5/5 rates everywhere and wanted only to point out the bad things)
and im only a member of this site because i want to see the work that people have done in here. and there are few work that catch my attention and get a rate from me.
But... i think that all of you are seeing the dark side of this site too dark now. why i actually havent even noticed these problems in this bad condition (maby moderators done theyr job before ive seen any really bad stuff) ------------------------------------ I really think that there is really nothing much you can do to this problem you seem to take too seariusly.
the only thing ive seen getting bad in this site is the advanced members attitude against the lesser members -you want more and more rules and give more demands to the moderators to cut off allmost everything that shows that even this isnt a perfect web site-
i couldnt agree more man!! i had sumthin like thaqt happen 2 me.. like ever 1-2 posts one of them will get downrated by a 1 rating with no coment or a lie. so then people dont dl it cuz if that guy who ruined the rating.. and no 1 leaves comments 2 anythin i post its either no comment or good job 5/5 i do agree this site needs fixing and the noobs r anoyin..
