The Map Review of 2014
ADMIN PREVIEW
The Map Review:
What is this?
This is the big map review of 47 maps from 4 releases during 2014, after the new mapping approach was initiated.
Why was this needed?
There were misunderstandings and misinterpretations, and some mistakes were committed. Mapcheck team reviewed all these maps and old mapchecking posts have been consulted and considered when making the final decision. Tags may change from kz to custom or from custom to kz.
What will happen to the WRs?
World Records will be preserved.
Which maps are we talking about and what are the changes?
47 of the maps released during the last 6 months were reviewed, check the extended newspost for details.
Where do we go from here?
The same approach will be used, but to avoid future misunderstandings we will be more clear about everything. The misunderstanding that we would "accept everything" will be avoided. We said we will be more open, that we encourage new mappers to start mapping and that this isn't done to move maps around from one community's database to another. New clear guidelines and rules will be created for mappers and map checking team. Better communication between the mapper and the mapchecking team. Better feedback will be given.
More information will follow.
Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused or will cause. We hope you will agree that the changes are for the better.
