    I have been thinking about this idea for a long time and i think this could be really helpful.

    On many servers there are a variety of maps (mc-war, warz , party (?) etc)
    there are always many maps that get submitted, especially for war, and they are all pretty good.
    but most of the time, only mods check the map submissions (unless if it is made by a popular map maker)
    so here is a suggestion i have:

    A new rank for on the forums: Map Moderator

    how to become one:
    you basicly make an app just like a mod app but instead you will talk about things that also fit in the Creative apps. after the app is made an admin (ofcourse) has to check it and see if he is ready for it.
    if he gets accepted he will get the rank same like any other rank.

    Map Moderators can also be chosen by Admins at random, when they feel that they deserve it.

    admins are automaticly a Map Moderator.

    what do they do:
    Map Moderators will look at map submissions and also need to see the map in person. once that is done, they will give ratings, tips and all the other things that are useful for a map (More detailed description below).
    if they think a map is good enough they can contact other Map Moderators and he will tell: who made the map, What the map is like and why it should be chosen. after that, they can discuss if the map gets added or not.

    How they will rate a map:
    Map makers will rate the map in a scale from 1 to 10. a map that is 10 is detailed, big and cannot be glitched on (easily).

    the way they will look at the map is with the following factors:
    Size.
    Detail.
    Looks.
    How fair the map is.
    If it has many glitches.
    If it would work.
    If it is liked by many players.

    they will give these factors a rating from 1 to 10 and then calculate the average.
    for instance:
    A map is:
    Very large (9)
    Kinda detailed (6)
    Looks amazing (10)
    Has many glitches(3)
    Is unfair to the red team(5)
    And would overall work decently with the gamemodes (7)
    It is liked by almost every person (9)

    this will let them calculate the average of it wich is (9+6+10+3+5+7+9) : 7 = 7


    I hope you guys like my idea :wink: and leave any suggestions that you have!

    This is basically what Creative Managers do. We check the submissions and send the maps that would suit the server or are good enough to Putty and let him decide if the map should be added or not. (Putty checks the submissions too sometimes I believe).
    This goes mainly for MC-War submissions. In the WarZ buildings submissions we look for builds that would suit a new WarZ map and write them down or something so we can use them later on.

    I like your idea though. :smile:

    i luv the idea, maybe they should directly like, or dislike the map so you know if it is accepted or not

    WOW! Love this idea! This will save the admins ALOT of time, and the people with more building, Map Rating skills can take over most of that work! How many Map Moderators do you think there will be?
    Will they be listed in the staff rank section of this website? Is it considered a staff rank at all?
    Do they have the power to Accept/ Mark maps? If so, they will need to power to change prefixes.
    Will their rank be listed Under their Custom Title like other staff ranks?
    Will they be given other Moderator duties but only have jurisdiction in the Map Submissions forums?
    DO they have power in the Maps Wiki section?
    Maybe it could be called Map Manager?

    These are the few questions I have, Overall I LOVE this idea. +81949692569156981385103856018560836

    lemme answer all of your questions :wink:

    it really depends how many people will get this rank. as i said before, all admins will have this rank.
    also i think that many popular map makers (@sturmspitz , @patrickdemooij9 etc)
    That will be chosen by the admins.
    It will however be considered a staff rank (it will be a lot like wiki editor)
    all the Map mods discuss wich maps are getting accepted.
    It will be under their name (hopefully)
    they can also be mods so yeah.. if they are not mod they will just look at maps.

    thanks for the feedback.

    The map moderators could be biased towards there own maps though.
    That could become a problem.

    Is this not basically the Creative Manager rank?
    In addition, sometimes Putty would gather the staff together to choose good maps. This would happen once in a while.
    Although I would like to see maps accepted more often, I'm pretty sure the current staff can do this fine.

    As a general amount of us have said, it is basically a Creative Manager, but rather for maps. It wouldn't be at all a bad idea. To an extent, you may not even need new people to chose the maps. The current Creative Managers could easily overtake the job.

    I like this Idea! Waaay too many AWESOME maps go by without them being added. I would make a same type of moderator for the server ideas too.
