Yes, you are right. There are a lot of maps that (probably) worth to be deleted from wmdb, like the map you are mentioning or other random .PNGs uploaded with 0.1% editing effort. I was not here when all this was happening.
Nevertheless, I still have my own opinion about how maps should be done or what remixing a map means. You might either agree or disagree about that, but I will still have my own opinion and will express my considerations during the reviewing process.
I think the purpose of this website is to collect original and creative work art that people can enjoy while in game. On the other side, I am fully aware of the fact that over past years this rarely happened. I can not blame reviewers for that, but just map makers / authors.
If you want to really contribute to this process, why don't you try to implement something from scratch instead of mixing a hundred of existing maps with (in the most cases) just a few minor changes (e.g., a couple of new hides, plope's zones, etc.)?
Note: I do not have the right to remove a published content on this website, just for your information.
Just a small width extension change the experience of the map...
Anyway It seems you haven´t check it all. Two open access on the walls and the stuff on the hide on left has been removed aswell.
Now tell me what should be the difference here #32843 I can not find any difference either and they still being around. You just mention maps with more details but forget to mention maps with NO changes like that.
One of my maps wich had different color than original was delated, then when i check uploads i watch several remixes with no differences execpt the color, so thats my point the parciality and contradiction at the reviewing process time.

Please consider the ones hereafter as a reference for remix concept (not the best one tho):
I can´t believe that kind of answer, having maps like this: #32843 (here there is not even minimum changes) or this other #40077 this still being the smae maps just in reverse way or this other #33834 this one only got differents graphics (oh exactly what i did...)
If you pay more attention on changes u would realize that i did recolor, different dimensioning plus changing stuff around the map(like shorter or bigger plops and removing/replacing obstacles).
But just for a reason you just decided to delated mine...

Hi, the reason why you got them deleted is that you kept posting maps from other authors with no changes (or just a minimum change) marking them as remix. Please consider making more changes among original maps if you would like to go for remixing.
Maybe instead of fixing the problem that WMDB is causing to hundreds of maps since 3.8 release in 2020, the admins decided to delete all the maps saved using WA Map Editor that adds transparency automatically. WMDB doesn't support maps with transparency, only with black background. So, any person that wants to edit the water level, the terrain to appear on the background and other things will have to paint the background again to true black or upload a map that is not functional and that WMDB will delete from the website.
They always deleted maps for illogical reasons anyway. So maybe the reason was not the transparency background.
Map #47137 was the 3rd ever map for the Shotgun Race scheme. It was the first Bloopy map released in over 16 years, and this piece of history was linked from the Worms Knowledge Base. Until WMDB deleted it, lol.
