Yeah, how they expect to do their work when we can't whisper them to review our maps and decide in what category to but them if they will? I know that everyone is spamming them, joking with them, etc, but there are some people that are normal and wants their maps to be viewed by the mapcrew. They accept to the that job, so they should do it. In fact, only whiskypickle from the mapcrew is answering.. And jerrymito(or how it is spelled his/her name) sometimes.. The others are with disabled whispers.. If I was in the mapcrew, I would do my job as I can, I would not disable my whispers, cuz it is my job(I am saying how they should do their work and all the members expect).. So, I am not I and.. I wont write anymore. Anyway, good job about this thread.

Map Crew work is completely volunteer work. They aren't doing this for their own benefit, but for the benefit of the community. That's why the map crew aren't obligated to check maps 24/7; being part of the map crew is a side thing. Like mods, map crew members are players first. If someone is doing a poor job, they should just be kicked.

If you have a problem with a particular member, you can bring it up here. The map crew could do a better job, but to say that the map crew aren't doing their job is just absurd.

As an ex-map crew member (I quit for various reasons), I can say that it's difficult to be a dedicated map checker. When the old forums were still up, I'd get at least 40 PMs a day. These new forums don't even have PMs so almost all requests will be through whispers in-game or via the mapcrew room. Let me tell you, it's not a fun task to listen to twenty whispers a minute and try to respond to even half of them.

Also, the map crew aren't going to add more members willy-nilly. It's better to have 20 good members than 60 bad members.

Did you read my 2nd post in this topic? As it seems, not. Well, then read it. Yeah, it is volunteer wokr because they are not get paid for this, BUT when you accept to do something, you should do it. As it seems, moderators are doing the mapcrew's job better. It is "job" because it is kind of a work that they are doing, but they are not getting paid. I have a big forum too and know what is to be disturbed by everyone that needs help, so I just added more crew members and the work is perfect. In transformice, there are many diff. part of the crew, and it is mapcrew's work. So, they should do it. Mods are doing diff, administrators diff., etc. Cuz of that there are parts of the crew. Everyone to his "job".(still it is job, cuz they are working for the community as you said, they are doing something.)I don't have a problem with an special member, but the most of them are with disabled whispers and then how you except to do their work? The good thing is that there are some 3-4 people that are with enabled whispers, answers and review maps, others are having blogs with a chat, etc.. Diff. ways, but 70% of them are playing only, always with disabled whispers, etc. So.. The P1 sumbission topic is locked, nobody from the mapcrew is answering, there is no special forum for the other categories sumbissions, so? What to do? I know that is hard, I have such a problems too, but I am trying to do my work on 100% in my whole websites(they are all big communities). Anyway, I'll stop talking about this. I wanted just to say and that way a mapcrew to become better and the members happy. :)

I did read your second post and I responded to it as well as I could, as the English was not coherent. The map crew are not forced to do any of this and they are not doing this for themselves. As Meli has already said, moderators are players first and mods second. This is the same with the map crew. I'm sure that none of the map crew has their whispers off all the time and that all of them do some work. They ARE doing their "job". If there's anyone who isn't, they should be reported here.

Your comparison with your forum is just awful. I'm probably not a member of your forum, so I can't say anything from a member's point of view. However, comparing those forum staff and the map crew is just not possible. Map crew members need knowledge and skills with maps, and need to be mature. Forum mods generally just need to be mature. That's why you can employ lots of forum mods but not many map crew members. The standards are set very high for the map crew, in comparison to forum mods.

Anyway, if you're going to stop talking about this, so will I. This is a FAQ and we've gone way off course.

Not at all. It needs knowledge of photoshop, video editors, etc. Which is more than a few tricks. Anyway, I will stop comparing them. So .. And they accepted to be loyal to the mapcrew and they should do their work, so.. I will stop writing about this. If I was a member of the mapcrew, I would do my work as the best as I can, because I accepted to this work. If I wanted to play, I would stay normal member. Or just they should do they work more time than the playing.

Mreh. I want this post deleted, I take back my previous statement that I doubt no one has yet read.

Question: How does @1452353 meet the qualifications for P7?

P7 (No-sham map)
Map should be generally completable by mice of various skill but reward better skilled mice.

Seems more like a luck-or-die map...

map crew in general the strange..

P7 isn't racing, it's no-sham. This map is completely ruined by the shaman and so P7 is the only category for it. That guideline should really be changed; that rule was put in place when P7 was still just racing. Since then, no-sham mechanism maps have been added and some of the guidelines are out of place. There should be a change in them before the the submission threads are opened.

On another note, there was a discussion between the map crew about adding a P7b or something, which has no shaman. It was planned for mechanism maps without shamans so that P7 would be pure racing. This plan hasn't been put in action though, it seems. Unless I'm remembering this wrong @-@
