Staredit Network

- Change the name of the Map Team to "DLDB Team" or "DLDB Keepers" or something like that. People are asking me to help them with maps and they think that Map Team are like an official SEN Mapmaking team.

- Delete the "Staredit Network Featured Maps" forum. No one has posted there and no one views those threads.

- Maybe make an official SEN Mapmaking Team. They would have their own forum that only they and admins/staff can see. I don't think making another forum memebr group for them is necessary. They would create maps in name of SEN.
IE:
Map made by: SEN Mapmaking Team
Normal users not in this team can still put SEN Productions and stuff like that or just put the website like I do.

The team will be divided up into people who can write good storylines, make very good terrain and triggers. If someone wants to apply to a specific area(s), they have to be at least average in the other area(s).
About 3 people in each area will do but more people might be recruited. This won't be permanent though. If some users become inactive or just can't work as a team or they lost their touch they will be removed.

The team will almost always be making one map only.

There will be a sticky thread in Showcase giving info/screenshots about the current map in progress.
There will be another sticky thread in Assistance for recruitment purposes.

I'd be willing to lead the team in the beginning.

- Make it so that people can't submit maps under the "Use Map Settings" category. Not the one in featured maps but the other one.
BTW: IP when will you finish coding unban, temp ban and stuff like that in DLDB?

- Thanks to DK for the info. Oo.Mario.oO is the same guy as Health. He has 2 registered accounts on SEN.

You're an advanced mapper, so you should be able to help them.


I use that for my maps, anyway. Maybe we should make it "StarEdit Network Choice" or something and place -exceptional- maps in there.


I don't like the idea of an official Mapmaking Team. Just another position to gloat over.


I would rather they didn't.


Feel free to do it yourself. You can send PMs to multiple users for a reason.


*cracks knuckles*

I do help them. I just don't like it that they think of me as a Mapmaking team and not a DLDB Team.


That would be nice. But how would it work? Making an exceptional category in DLDB won't do.
Moving productions threads from Showcase won't be a good idea.
People will start creating threads of crappy maps is the forum is not regulated.


Like I said this will not create a new member group they will retain members/regulars/database keper/map tam/staff/admin or whatever they had before.


Aight, but the http://www.staredit.net remains since yoshi wants people to put the site in their maps.


Alright. I'll start making the thread and rules of the team tomorow.


Some one is going to recieve an unwanted message.

I was talking about a DLDB category, not a forum.

The SEN maps section was generally just reserved for maps made by the staff.

Which do want beer?


I thought about it when I removed the "confirmed bugs" forum out of feedback. Having an automatic topic starter for technical support is fine but having a forum for the featured maps seems pointless. Whatcha think moose? (the forum!!! not the catagory)


The "Use Map Settings" catagory that is supposed to only be a header? I was going to change all the header type catagories to being unselectable but then I saw Yoshi had a sound wav in the sound wav catagory header so I just left them be.
I'll do that soon enough though.


When I feel like coding it...
which was today! Temp ban doesn't work fully yet because I didn't make the seperate script to remove the bannings from the table.
I have a killer idea though... for every instance of bannings / warnings / etc... it'll automatically append it to the member's notes!
Member Notes for health (pure example):
11/03/04 : Warn Level Increased ~ Spamming Forums
11/10/04 : Banned From DLDB ~ Spamming with duplicate maps.
11/20/04 : Isolated Purity adds :: God I really hate this kids attitude.

and etc. That'll be sexy, wouldn't it? By the way, as of yet, you don't see the member's notes section (although, I haven't fully implemented it yet)... which just brings up something I kinda had on my mind...
If you wish to be a global, I'll make you one. I wouldn't expect you to mod forums and could careless if you didn't do anything specific with your powers other than use the member's notes. It's more like a better position out of high standing (pwner of the DLDB section) and respect and what not. You really don't deserve to be in a catagory where I haven't seen anything productive come out of besides what came from you .


Ooooo... Moosey, did you do anything after you cracked your knuckles? Or are you leaving that up to me?
Has he been using this 2nd account to spam the DLDB more?

DLDB Keepers looks better sine we have Tutorials database Keepers and those peositions are pretty much the same so it looks more organized.

The category in DLDB stays without a doubt. I meant deleteing that forum.

Yes, people can submit files under the headers and it gets quite annoying.

Lol, thanks for the coding


I liked that lol

Sure I'll be a Global mod with no worries. Just let me keep my access in DLDB. Although I won't moderate the forums as much as Moose or Bolt, I'll make my appearances.

SEN productions doesn't actually mean anything.

People wanted to assosiate the wav file with their maps, so I threw it in the root directory, so it wouldn't get lost in the new submittions (then I get PMs: where's the file?)

Agreed. Its time to clean it out anyway.

It means something to me. It makes it sound like the map was a fully authorized SEN production. If it sucks, guess who looks bad? SEN.

We can't exactly stop them from using it anyway. We could mention in the "How to help" section that we perfer people to use the URL, but in the end, its the map maker that decides.
