It's a bit hard to 'fight' anything in this location, where my only means of communication can be deleted and revoked if it goes against the agenda of these established people. But before you call me ineffectual, maybe you should ask yourself where half the old population of this subforum has gone. Where there's a will there's a way, don't think that some casual commentary by me is a serious attempt to 'fight' anything.

With that kind of thinking, you can never trust anyone to help you get off your knees. And eventually you need to retire and give someone else the torch.B1rd wrote:

you should leave then and go somewhere with no moderation, as much as I complain about them having mods >>> not having modsB1rd wrote:

I don't even like the new QAT/BN system, way too fucking confusing and difficult to rank a map now.
Oh what's the matter? having 4/5 of the BNs in your mode being inaccessible because they do mod by their own accord or being "too busy" isn't so bad.ColdTooth wrote:

Like honestly, my last ranked map was in late 2014, and that was already hard enough to rank a map. Now it seems I can't get any attention either because not enough people, or they forget, or they don't like the song/map. Either way, it pisses me off. Like, I want to rank maps, but if this system is going to get harder and harder, then what's the point if they're going to look at other mappers who have been mapping for 6 years and go 'ok instant rank'.Stefan wrote:

I don't know how Standard mappers can even complain.
Or maybe I'm having very bad luck in finding the right people.Stefan wrote:

Well, it really doesn't. Bad maps are getting ranked anyways so that shouldn't hesitate you to get something ranked.Mahogany wrote:

If everyone follows your advice and begins mapping/getting things ranked, 1) there will be a boom in Pending maps which would make ranking a map take even more time than it takes now, and 2) it would make the Ranked status absolutely worthless.Stefan wrote:

Same dude, except I have a 4:55 map, so right now I just took stuff out to make it 4:30abraker wrote:
Fuck the 5 minute marathon thing. I want to map one difficulty, pour all my love and hard work into it and be proud of that one baby. Unfortunately, 4:24 needs to have 2 more difficulties. It took 1.5 months to map a 4.67 star map that long. I have work, I have a life, and I can't be bothered with making more than that. I can't be bothered mapping more than one diff of anything long than 2:30. I'd rather complain about the lack of ranked maps than waste my time doing this.

Newbie: Map is ranked. Took like a year. Lost my brain in some drama over a slider, but it's ok now
Veteran: Sweet. How much pp does it give?
Newbie: Maybe 200 on DTHR
Veteran: Eh ok...
Newbie: ... so I... uh rank more maps?
Veteran: ye ye, we always need more maps!

Newbie: Ranked a new map!

Others: "Fucking pp map" "oh pp" "pogchamp cookiezi 900pp"
Newbie: Wow I like people liking my map. People like numbers.

Veteran: So it looks like you are having so such a fun time mapping
Newbie: Yea, people like these jumps for some reason, so I make some more of them here and there
Veteran: Your maps are all jumps. How about some interesting sliders here and there?

K look positive comments means shit since it only revalidate your presumption that you made something good which doesn't mean the map itself is good
But the quality of the map isn't the same as the amount of plays it has please Ephemeral you should know better than this.Ephemeral wrote:

your maps are actually shit and they don't even capture the essence of "old-style mapping" that you're going for, they're bad even by old standards

It would be interesting to see a system where every map was ranked, and if it was found to be low in quality (i.e., against the ranked requirements), it would be graveyarded. However, this would cause even more drama as people would start pumping out PP maps like a water from a hose. And if they are graveyarded, the PP earned would have to be refunded, which would cause extreme anger in the community.Hobbes2 wrote:

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that game. But if it works for them, I would like to see it in action. Anything where the community uploads something to a centralized server must have quality control. But the situation Hobbes2 suggested would be absolutely chaotic the way I see it.abraker wrote:

It doesn't have quality control. I quit after chugging down a couple 4k 7 star maps down my throat, giving me 500pp or so each. No point in playing for numbers after that.johnmedina999 wrote:
