sry my bad inglish, those "ranks" sounds so in russian, and i have problems with G.T. xD
well, true that too - when u get 500 exp u know the shit about mapmaking, buuutt...
1. I am still a very clumsy noobass in land schemes and PX
2. some people know the drawing and see the true map worth very well, even if they didn't make even 1 map here, but just have mad playing skillz. thats rare case too, but 500exp is even rarer. how many people u know who have 500+ exp here? and btw, in any site, there should be at least 3 reviewers, like it was on wmdb too 5 years ago, to keep order and fairness
as for me - the biggest mistake with exp system - is that MAP WORTH straighly depends of TAGS (hope u dont need proves).
P.S.
Spoiler:
you can also reach 500 exp by uploading ~170 crappy ctrlCtrlV mole maps too
It takes time to reach 500exp, man. I believe at which poit you have earned the right. Because it would be hard to reach that # by uploading nothing but shit, so that proves several things:
-Knowledge of all maps and tags
-Knowledge of the "ever rising bar of mapmaking"
-Experience
How else would/could you simply trust someone to be honest and experienced enough to review maps?
It takes a while to reach 500exp - even if all your maps are worth 3 then that is ~166 maps and that takes some time
some noobs here think i am a reviewer here, because i have "outstanding rang image"
hahaa
and about reviewers - simple thing.. no need to have 500exp (because it's impossible for a normal person), Reviewer just must be fair, healthy minded, mind people's opinions, should comments/give advises to noob-map makers and regular map makers and pro map makers, to not be a noob at scheme he reviews. But all we've got now here at wmdb is.....
There are actually many things that should be edited in wmdb, but nobody wants to do here anything. and if i was admin here and if i could programming (at least a bit) - i would extend dat quite primitive tagging and exp system, kick and ban every ass from that 'trolllist' #24038, hired some normal new reviewers, made modern design for wmdb, maybe even some PR, and all that in less than a half year.
Once I get to Skum's rank I'll be fine...
I think once you reach that rank you should automatically become a Map Reviewer (if you choose). It's well earned at that point I think
I say screw it to arrows in bigRR!! Is it that hard to remember something as simple as "left" or "up"?? I've been hassled over the arrow issue side the first bigRR map I made and I will never add arrows. I refuse!! SiD's map "Right On Red" is a novel idea...
