Map database cleaning.
Well members,
The database is full again. So with a few rules to staff members, its cleaning time.
Anything that is invalid is history. Bad screenshot, poor description. Invalid file....Gone. It's 'tough love'
I've blown the whistle to start with some of the older game vertions, but mods and skins are not allowed either. If it isnt a complete map, its
gone....sorry.
To the members that just cant wait long enuff and drop 20 maps....19 get remooved. It's not about your account, its about your patience level. And the
quality of the maps.
All raters must use disgression in the selection of the map that are remooved. Rated maps stay, tho comments can be remooved on a basis of spam or
flaming etc. All DFB rules apply in this.
As we make room, no u2u will be given to the mapper whos map was dumped. If you wish to voulunteer maps to be remooved, please post here with a link.
The Staff will address it.
It's something that has to be done at this time. If anyone has a complaint, feel free to send me a u2u, it will be answered.
Cheers.

As per last time, I went thru all my maps and re-uploaded the zip files; as bare as possible; without screenshots and .mis files, if they existed. In
my few maps, I saved over 100k and if everyone goes thru their own likewise, the space would be more than sufficient I suspect.
I really lookforward to new maps and so please, everyone, 'just do it!'

Just a note to add, raters.
When you guys remoove a map, please remoove the comments as well. Every bit of space we can squeeze back helps.
Thanks all!

I searched through database and found
Land Warrior Maps
and
TFD Maps
The id that submitted these maps is Col.Vanisher*CS* therefore to protect the security of the map database that is the only id that can make the
deletion request on them.

make sure iceman or EE has backups first they can use them as they wish.

copies.
Thanks

Those can stay chris. The forums and the map DB arent connected. If my memory serves me correctly, they are 2 different animals.

I'm talking to Roguewarrior47 on the phone now - Just read him your reply pigskin
- The problem is that he doesn't know his password, and the email address he used to register no longer exists, thus he can't request a password
change.
Back when this all took place, he sent a u2 to A.Bullet explaining it, but never got a reply back....
He just sent his motherboard in, will be offline for 2 weeks (unless something changes), and thus can't respond him self.

I removed 30-40 BHD maps those with corrupt ZIP files, no files or no BMS, bad SS, bad descripition, BMS that caused SYS dump or other crash, a few
maps that noone in their right mind would ever run in a server(floating objects wrong spawns few items[10 or less] basically any map that looked like
any1 with the very basic knowledge of the editor could make blind folded in 2 min).
right now I dont have the room to install BHD/TS , ZIP programs, DL maps ETC to test/check maps for possible deletion but if there is anyone that cant
upload a map please inform some1 and we will try to make room
before submitting please make sure the map has been tested(few glitches, few floating objects, little flicker, the right spawns etc) and all the right
files are in ZIP when submitting please use a good SS of the map and leave a good description. If SS is too big convert it to JPG or send it to
someone to convert for you

Thanks Jobiwan...done.
I spent 5 hours last night going thru the BHD database and dumped about 400 maps on the criteria stated above by P.Falcon as well as some that had
been posted 5 times and more!!! I started with 2002 and went all the way to Jan of 2004.
Each map I remooved had a good long look before all comments removed, etc. Some even had rateing. However, Many of those rated maps were a 10 map with
no comment and the map was garbage, or something invalid and was never gone back and updated. Even dumped a few of my own early maps. Some maps with
out a rateing even avoided the axe simply because of the desciption and the potential for good play as well as some that were simple, but had rave
reviews by many players. Sometimes a map can have what I call 'Less is More'
It doesnt have to max the item count or be custom to be great. It could just be the manner in which the objects were used. (Lot of posts on what us
old raters add or subtract in rateing points about maps)
As I stated above in this post, I started at the back and worked my way forward. Mainly because alot of ppl wont go that far back unless they are
after a specific map and use the search function. But, Even with new maps submitted. They must follow the same criteria as the old map rules.
The only stay of execution is that you have 7 days from the post date to fix anything that needs to be updated. If not, that map is remooved as well.
I will also make 1 final note. Since it takes many man hours to physically make space in the map database for everyone. I will insist you post 1 map a
day. The 1st guy that thinks "weeeee....I can upload all the maps i made this week" Guess what. I will personally remoove all but 1 of my chooseing.
We arent wasteing hours upon hours to have 3 jokers fill it right back up again.
It hasnt been made an official rule, but I will be pushing to see that it is. And I'm sure the bulk of the members here would agree. Everyone gets to
have a day or so on the 1st page, not bumped back a few pages because someone blew their wad in 1 shot. It's a respect issue.
Thanks all.

Team Sabre maps
Hi guys, you can clean out all my Team Sabre maps if you want to. There's quite a few of them, which should save you some space.

IDEA
After writing the above I had an idea which I wondered whether you'd considered or not.
I was thinking to myself that of all the things that really take up room on a site like yours, screen shots has to be way up there.
So why not go back 3, 4, or 5 years and delete all screen shots from every map uploaded in every format. After all Screen shots can be recovered where
as some maps can't. I wouldn't mind betting that that would save you a lot of room.
Just a thought

The screen shots are filed in separately, they are not a part of the map upload.
Darn good thought tho.

Once a screen shot is uploaded, it's converted to a jpg, and the original file is deleted by the php code..
So, they don't really take up a lot of room..
Not that we actually have access to the site via ftp..
