Hey guys,
Following up on our discussion in
this thread I am going to make a post for each of the maps that we thought should be removed, as well the few that are currently not in the rotation, but might be worth bringing back. It would be easier to make a poll, but that would allow trolls to mess with our results. I will employ Phew's suggested method instead, where an upvote (+) for the map means that you think it should be removed and a downvote (-) means you think it should stay if it says
REMOVE at the top of the post. Upvote a map that you want to see added, and downvote a map that you want to keep out of the rotation if it says
ADD at the top of the post. While this method will take some more time to set up on my behalf, I think it will work best so that we can monitor the results and neglect any trolls' input. I also hid this thread in the Scene Editing subforum, so hopefully not too many unwanteds show up.
EDIT: Make sure you guys vote on
ALL the maps. If a post says that a map you like is being removed, minus that post. I know I'm a great guy and you could never imagine downvoting me... but in order for this to work, you have to.
If 30 people in total vote, and a map only has +2, then there should be 16 +'s and 14 -'s on that post. If there is a +2 on a post after 30 people vote, and there are only 2 votes on that particular map, then this method doesn't help us out at all. Maybe all 28 others disagreed with the decision to add/remove that particular map, but they decided to remain silent. The purpose of this is to make all your voices heard, so only abstain if you are completely 50-50 on a map, and truly couldn't care less if it stays or goes. I find that for most maps that are aren't too great and I would consider myself split 50-50 on them, at the end of the day I would probably side with keeping them in the rotation, if for no other reason than for nostalgia. Moral of the story? Abstain from nothing!
