It's pretty odd that you guys want a membership format for every single map that may need to be removed, what do those get, 6, 7 replies now??
People are freaking lazy, ESPECIALLY ON THE FORUMS, no one would want to go through 20+ maps and post +1/-1 with a valid reasoning on why the map should be removed. However, wanting a map removed because you dislike it is PLENTY valid, and it's a little dumb if you think that's not a fair logical choice. A map can have no performance issues, or technical issues in general, and just be a bad map to play on. You don't need anymore reason than you hating it for your vote to remove to be valid to me. But just imagine, 17 separate threads for each map requiring everyone to post +1/-1 and a lengthy sentence on why it should stay or be removed.. Yeahh. a bit unrealistic there.
Why should we keep a map that most people don't like?? we shouldn't. Jake may have put maps he thought were bad up on the chopping block first, but what's the problem with that? He had to start with some maps, and these are maps he thought were NOT good for the server, thus being a good place to start cleaning up the map pool. It was all left to a community vote.
It was a little questionable that he removed the one that has 1 extra vote, instead of making a separate thread on it for some form of deeper discussion, but regardless, I think the decision was ok, and it was HIS to make.He had to pick a side, either remove it or keep it, and he made his choice with the majority that did vote, even if it were only by 1 vote. It's not like the map can't ever be re-added if people want it. I have no doubts he will better the process as time goes on as well. Jake explained everything in his post.
TJ even on your example there, look how many votes that got compared to the strawpolls lol. Yes you can revote on strawpoll if you change your IP address, but that's more work than the payoff is worth. You vote for no, oh boy a map gets to be removed for now. You vote no, oh boy the map gets to stay for now. Totally worth all that effort... not. Though a poll on the forums would be nice, but again we tried that and people complained it was 'too aids to vote'. Also did you seriously just cite a reply Jake made 2 years ago? he's only been handling maps for the past few days why does that even matter..?
