i don't see why the forging community can't decide what maps deserve to be featured, if theres some map that we all like, but the staff and what not don't why can't it get featured. your opinions?
Uh, In the forge disscussion, theres a sticky says " What maps do you think should be featured." and there you can recommend 3 maps a week and then they will be reviewed and decided on.
Its a privelege for loyals + to help decide what does and what doesnt get featured. I hope it does not become something for every member. Some people have clouded judgement and poor judgment. For a lot of people, its either amazing or appauling, nothing in between.
This should be in customer service, but anyway, I agree with you in this way, and I know what you mean, but there are good reasons the staff picks. For one thing, after this summer, there has been such an increase in members, if we voted, odds are not the best maps would be chosen, but those of good friends and such. There'd be no way of stopping someone from always choosing someone else, and then because that person is "popular" its auto feature, and then all the newer members won't have a chance at feature. Sort of like our very old system from back in the day, before the vB switch, when Guilders and Mason's had auto features, and other hard working forgers had much less of a shot at it. I know where you are coming from, and if it could work, I'd be up for it, but the system would be too flawed to work. :/
i've seen that, but its not what i'm talking about, that just means the'll consider it. i want a way where we can vote on what maps we want, maybe you have to get like 200 or something people to agree. maybe you would have to be a higher rank, like askar or something to vote
So, spam your way to a few hundred posts and you can help decide what gets featured? No, that's an awful idea. If regular members are to help decide what gets featured then those members should be hand picked by the staff, and shouldnt be too great in numbers.
We could have a name for them too... like, "Loyals". lol sorry but that is what they are. IMO, the system is fine now.
I know a system that works just like that...oh what was it again...uh...oh right, Bungie Favorites. And look how great Bungie Favs are.
I was actually about to edit my post saying something like that. If there were handpicked members, chances are they'd already be loyal. Indeed good sir, Bungie Favourites does have a wonderful system.
I don't think we need to any more. Ivory_Snak3 has been doing a very good job of getting some of the underrated forgers up there lately.
Yes thats what Im saying. The system is better now than ever. More underrated forgers are being recognized now and getting their chance in the spotlight. Less is it that only the top, "popular" forgers only get features.
ok everyone calm down, i'm not accusing anyone of anything, or saying are system is bad, its just that a few maps go under the radar. and the staff can't see every good map. but i understand everyone elses point and i understand, i was just expressing mine.
We were mad at you, just expressing the faults in your idea. In all means I would like it if it were possible, but they way the site is now, and with this many members and what not, it would unfortunately not work. :/
If you feel you see a great map that hasnt received good reception and is going underrated then say something to a staff member, prefereably a journalist. Tell them you think this is a great map and that they should check it out.
I agree with you, they should have a forum for that. I know they have a request forum, but that isn't what it should be
Maybe it should be available to everyone with a certain amount of good rep to vote. This idea has pros and cons. Some people have great judgement and others have quite terrible judgement. Umm yeah but voting should be available to non-warned and good rep of like 30 or 40+ Keep Forging!
Dibs being in charge of that pep squad. =P I think the thread for suggesting a feature is fine. Let people who A) have lots of experience forging, and B) are trusted by the community to decide.
Umm i wasn't trying to offend anyone or trying to encourage "rep whoring", rather to give a better idea for this instead of having people going on to say if this happens and someone new to forgehub votes for the 1st map they see. Once again not trying to encouage anything and i said if you have 30 or 40 positive rep points not saying you get it if that's what you're implying. I'm trying to give this person something positive with all this stuff saying z0mg th1s 1s terrible 1d3a. Keep Forging! P.S. Once again if you're offended in some way i apologize.
