The Map Crew is a dedicated team of players whose purpose is to control the overall quality of maps, and most importantly to give feedback to the map-making community.
You can use this thread to read more about the team, discuss them, and ask questions directly to team members.
Members of the Map Crew have the ability to protect maps from deletion, delete bad maps, and make maps permanent (perming) so that they show up in the game more frequently. You can distinguish a member of the team from a regular user as they have a blue name both ingame and on the forums.
What is the Map Crew?
The Map Crew is a staff team that maintains the quality and consistency of maps ingame, and offers feedback and reviews of maps to members of the map-making community. The Map Crew's responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Periodically reviewing all maps posted in the Map Submissions subforum and Map Crew Discord.
- Putting good enough maps they want to perm up for discussion with the rest of the team.
- Discussing maps that might be good enough with the rest of the team.
- Perming maps that the team agrees on.
- Protecting maps (P1) that they see fit.
- Holding official map-making contests.
- Offering feedback to users ingame and on the forums.
- Decorate maps seasonally.
What is the Vote Crew?
The Vote Crew is a team made up of members that assist the Map Crew wherever possible. Members of this group must stay anonymous and names kept private, have no ingame powers, however are allowed to be under the age of 18. When a member of the Vote Crew reaches 18, they may have the opportunity to become a full Map Crew member. Their duties and responsibilities are as follows:
- Reviewing maps posted in the Map Submissions subforum.
- Putting good enough maps they want to perm up for discussion with the rest of the team.
- Discussing maps that might be good enough with the rest of the team.
A Map Crew member isn't responding to me, why?
Each Map Crew member gets hundreds of whispers asking for maps to be reviewed each day. On top of responding to PMs, handling the Map Submission threads, and all of the other duties listed above, this can get overwhelming at times. Map Crew members reserve the right to not respond to every individual whisper they receive or /silence their whispers. If you still want a map permed, you can use the methods listed in the previous question.
What can I do if a Map Crew member is behaving improperly?
If you have a problem with any member of the team, you should contact an admin directly through the contact form on the main website or alternatively come to any other member of the Map Crew or moderator team. Make sure to include screenshots, logs of conversations, and other evidence you may have.
I am wondering about something that isn't listed here.
Feel free to ask in the Official Map Crew Discord!
