I thought I'd help translate all those easily mis understood comments in the mapvault.

"Well, your map has potential..." : Your map sucks, and you suck at mapping.

"You've improved alot since your last map." : You still suck ass, but its alittle better than the last piece of shit.

"You can do better..." : This is shit, and you're shit. Go learn mapping, noob.

"Certain issues appear to be unresolved..." = Everything in this map is crap.

"This is ok if it's one of your first maps" = LOL you're a noob, go kill yourself along with this lousy thing you call map.

Well, that's all I can think of / find right now. Feel free to add your own.

n00b=n00b

The textures are a little bland=what the hell happened to your textures.

Lacking in plot=What the hell is this!?, is this supposed to be a dm with monsters?

Please give a screenshot and description=I hate you with all my soul!

Some people tend to forget they were n00bs once...

Some people tend to forget their quality lacks at some points too...

Some people... need I say more? Don't flame the n00bs in this way. You've been helped too, would you like your maps to be critisized to shredders?

Some comments are really meant to be constructive. Would be good for all of us if that happened more...

It's the truth. Superior Jam knows it.

I am a n00b.
I have no quality, no maps.
Hehe

We all are at heart.
I like mops comments, they're the only one that is straight and true.
I quote:
"Hey noob-ass. Stop rating your own maps, learn to map and fuck off."

Instant classic.

And again a person that could've become a great mapper stopped...

Is being kind and helpfull really so difficult?

Wow, i really like this map! Submit it to the HL team! = WTF is this shit? you dont know how to map for shit! You suxxorz. Go suck a (bleeeeeep...).

'nuf said.

that was just wrong.

Okay, some people are just really lazy, but some are just new. Laughing at the lazy ones who've submitted pointless maps with no screenshots, and rated it 5* themselves is different.

I must confess the first post made me laugh though, and Captain P, the sort of people to whom (gramar) ZL is referring are unlikely to frequent this section of the forums - or any other section.

Some people tend to forget they were n00bs once...
Thats why I followed the golden rule: NEVER EVER EVER release your first maps EVER

Some people tend to forget their quality lacks at some points too...
Mine doesn't, ever

There are people on these forums who don't actually use the forums or the sites content before asking stupid questions that have already been answered FFS

Even constructive critisism can be taken to heart by someone who has worked long and hard on a map

the sort of people to whom (gramar) ZL is referring are unlikely to frequent this section of the forums - or any other section.

That's not a reason to flame them.

Thats why I followed the golden rule: NEVER EVER EVER release your first maps EVER

True. Most first maps are just test maps, like 95 % if not 99 % of your maps.

True, but why treat them harsh? Just post a link to tutorials and leave them on their own. They should understand the message... or leave...

That's exactly what constructive critisizm is for...

I understand some people are just lazy and expect us to solve their problems, but that's not a reason to flame them. It's not that hard to stay polite. Just give them a link to the tutorials page, no further worries. They'll either read the tutorials or think they don't get helped and leave. After all, it's not always obvious who's lazy and who's not...

Which again proves that mature members are rare, but not missing.

Still I think, or maybe even hope, that ZL is not serious about what he wrote. It was supposed to cheer us up with some nice satire and didn't you at least smile as you read it?

ok... i take that last little bit out.

Yeah... perhaps he was just entertaining us...

No i'm dead serious. Wtf is this sarcasm everyone is going on about?

constructive critisism is supposed to hurt peoples feelings? que?

I must have understood you wrong. Taken to heart looks like the Dutch 'ter harte nemen', wich means use it, take it seriously and do something with it (e.g. improve your map). That's what it is for.

And some people feel attacked by constructive critisizm? So what? The person that gave his feedback has done so with best intentions. It's up to the mapper what to do with it.
Sure, I could sit down and cry: "They don't like my map!" I could also decide to improve and deliver a better piece of work next time. That's totally my choice and my responsability.
I think it always hurts a bit when people critisize you. You need to learn not to take it personal and put it to good use instead of feeling hurt.

Wise words were spoken.
Let's stop here.
We don't another spam thread, do we?

Yes we do!
Superior Jam with pwncakes for everyone!

true. i mean look at my sabotage map. i didnt moan and bitch about everyone hating it, even though i felt i put alot into it. i just went out and mapped. more.

GIMME GIME! I WANT ME TO GO B000m!
