Why would it matter whether or not you have posts or a member status on this site? There are plenty of mapmakers who have verified maps in the download datbase and have little to no recorded activity on SEN.

I guess some people would prefer those kind of maps, it would also narrow down searches if you wanted to look for those kind of maps, and compare statistics, thats why it's a checkbox, and it's your option to click it.

First of all.. that was totally unnecessary,
Second of all, tell me where you get this awesome 6th sense that lets you know what i rated your maps.
ANYWAYS:
I think a "Quality tag" would be one of the best things you could have.
Also have a series of check boxes at the bottom to filter the maps.
Ex.
[] Quality only
[] Regulars only
[] Rated only
[] New releases only
[] Reviewed maps only
[] Screen shoted maps only
[] Members with overall good ratings only
[] Elites only
[] 50 + post members only
ETC...

Most of these are pointless. Who cares if a member has 50 posts? Is a Regular/Elite? The best mappers here are definently not elites. Screenshotted maps? All maps have screenshots.
Though some of the other might be nice, such as "Sort by Map Rating option."

I don't like trusting the rating system.

Why not, the truth hurts?
I don't need any 6th sense to see that
That was when I always checked my few maps for ratings/comments and the rate(1) for both unrated maps appered right after your stupid comment

You two really should try the wonderful Private Messages system. I don't care who started it or who did what, but I'm tired of seeing your scuffles spilling over to the public boards. SEN isn't a court system and your off topic posting might be judged as spam.

Add a Quality tag as the maps come in, and then have an option that says "Hide non-Quality maps". That way we can host the largest assortment of files and the best too.

I suggested in an earlier thread that maps which have made it to the spotlight should have some little tag on them that says they were once in the spotlight. It's like winning an award, IMO, and they should be able have those bragging rights.
I think a filtering option would be the best thing. If a map has 20 reviews that say "OMG THIS BLOWS" and a rating if 2, then it's a safe bet it's not very good. Allow the browser to only show maps that have gotten a certain rating, I say.
As for the maps that've yet to be rated, I guess you could have the DLDB keeper that approved it give the first rating, so it at least has one.
Also, map quality is a personal judgement. If ONE person doesn't like a map, then that doesn't mean it's a bad game. If MANY people don't like it, then just about everyone can agree it's no good. Quality control would mean more work, which in turn would mean more DLDB keepers. To save time, perhaps the DLDB keepers could put maps they aren't sure about in a certain category and have a new member group of secondary testers that have to give it a thumbs up in order for it to stay.
I'm not even sure what the current minimum standards are for map approval. Doesn't it have to be at least functional and not be overly obscene?
