^ These tags do not change experience points, they are just search tags.
These tags are not good or bad, they are just fact.

hi everyone here in the shout valley. Please check my latest map, ive spent so long time with passion and high precision to edit it perfectly. id like some feedback and comments. stay worm
If you don't like your map tags, I suggest asking for a rereview and backing up your point :)
While you're of course correct in saying that you need to play a map to be able to review it, you also have to consider what the consequences are of that; it means that (given the small amount of actual reviewers at the moment) they will need to play this game for hours at a time just to be able to keep up with reviewing maps.
To put it bluntly; they have better things to do than that. Especially since it's something they do in their spare time and considering the bad maps that are made (that's not to say there are no good maps; I've seen some really good maps pass by lately)
As for community based rating, I'm not a fan. http://www.tus-wa.com/cups/cup-84/ This should illustrate it well. Look at the moderator rating on this community based rating system.
4 votes and the cup never even got accepted. How do they know what kind of a mod luz4k would've been? There has been no cup moderated by luz4k on that site!
And I can tell you this is not an isolated event. People vote for the wrong reasons (if any).
I say this knowing that the current system isn't perfect.
Of course i did Kuvvy ...!! impartial and unbiased view ftw!
there would be nothing worse in the world if no one said anything to anyone in their mistakes..
Of course people take different ways in saying things to people.. but it's better than being trapped in Rose Coloured glass-Heaven ( note: ignorance is NOT bliss)
Good outlook Kuvasz. I think that wmdb has become so absorbed in itself that is has forgotten about how much time many spend actually playing the game, and what is the point in a good-looking map if it is crappily-shaped to play on? Hmmmm... Oh well! :D I hope user review is on its way, it's painful to see so many erratic and frankly reckless reviews on maps that people have spent a lot of time and thought on. Over and out.
I can only hope you meant that in a positive way. I do have my mood swings but I try to watch what I say.
However, about the "[...] They are taking time going thru and reviewing it. [...]" bit, I can't agree with you. Loads of maps get tags that were clearly dished out in a hurry. Sprite and themed maps not getting their respective tags, for example. I've also seen maps go from an unjust 7EXP to a fair 3EXP. This erratic reviewing, as well as the fact that reviewers don't seem to get basic gaming mechanics (e.g., how much space is needed for a spawn trap, unreachable spawn points, very bad hide designs, bad pallette, too many colours, etc.) are what call for user reviews. Badly.
