    Is it me or is it basically all map that get featured or most of the maps that get featured are mods map, or already loyal's maps. I see very rarely a map made by someone who is not a loyal or a mod. I personally this is unfair. I think it should be about more the community then just a few mods deciding who should be featured. It should be voting or something of that sort.

    First of all, this should be in Halo Forge Discussion.
    *Request move*

    Second of all, I don't personally think that it is 'not fair' because every forger does his/her best in making a map he/she wants to get featured. Plus, there are a fair amount of maps that get featured and are made by ordinary people.

    I don't really find this as an issue. Pointless thread is pointless.

    No I just think it is not as much ordinary people as it should be in a forging community.

    Grammy

    They now have Forgehub Favorites in place which are chosen, in a vote, by the community. The problem with voting on everything is that we put George W. Bush in the White House twice. Sometimes you can't trust the masses.

    The staff should be the ones who choose what gets featured. The featured maps are thoroughly tested into the ground and the staff have also been around the longest. They've seen countless maps come across the forums. Through that experience they know what works and what doesn't, and of course there will always be a hint of personal taste in their decisions, but it's the same way for the panel that selects the Grammy winners.

    A feature is a Grammy, not a Peoples Choice Award

    Well spoken, makisupa. That's not exactly what I'd like to portray in this closing, so I suppose I'll just add that your(footballfan) thoughts of corruption & elitism have been spoken by many. While at first you may think this, eventually you come to realize that the staff only choose maps which are of a higher standard, and it just so happens half the staff got to their position through the quality of their map making ability (ie. as time goes on, the staff/loyals/premiums continue making maps, and continue being awesome at what they do)
