I have noticed lately that people's comments on others maps have started to become more and more brief, I really think that people need to put more thought into their comments on other people's maps. When I post I follow these three steps... 1. Point out something you like about the map 2. Point out something you would do differently 3. Say something else that is constructive (This is also known as a Compliment Sandwich) You don't help someone by being too nice also, you need to give them something to work on. *Also try to be nice when posting because whether it is good or not, somebody put time and effort into it and you have to respect the map. *And lastly try not to put the score of the map unless it is phenomenal because a score is a matter of opinion, nobody put you in charge of rating people's maps and when something is scored, it's like scoring their effort. It's not fair to Them.
Yes, I agree with you on these terms, but do you mean 'more and more brief'? Saying 'less and less brief' with the thread's topic almost seems ironic.
i also agree, though, you may want to re-word the scoring part, people don't care if it is a matter of opinion, as a matter of fact, because it is a matter of opinion, they will post it, so try to reword it so that people don't misinterpret that and just score a map anyway, for the most part though, this is really good n should be stickied
Too late, I already made a rant on this a couple weeks ago. =P But yes, this is very annoying. Especially with rating the map stuff like 5/5 and crap.
yeh it gets annoying, anyone notice dark ruler spamming through all of the map threads only saying, "looks good". Anoyying
For the most part you are correct but i think that sometimes with certain maps there is really nothing you can say except "lol fail flame flame flame poo"
I think it comes down to this: why do you make maps? to get famous on forgehub.com, or for the pure enjoyment of it?
Yeah, theres some maps that there ISNT anything good to point out, its just bad, and you can tell by the way they talk that theyre 7 years old and have no chance of ever making a good map, ever
But then you either find the tiniest thing you can say nice about it, or have you ever thought of just not posting at all?
for you it is titmar... actually, it is for most people lol. what really makes me laugh/get annoyed is when i see things posted like "OMG looks amazing" or "i will have to try this one out" on announcement threads. i mean c'mon, is that one extra posts sooo important that you can't be bothered to read a page of text? it really pisses me off...
A good post has about 100 letters or more in it. And as in the first post, you should post constructive ideas for them so they can make the map better, and tell them the good and bad about the map.
I always try to do this. Say something you like, Say something you would improve, Give a summary, Always remember to be nice. Its thier map, its not your right to say it sucks, even if it does.
