Concise description:

We all know that there is a list of maps that are blocked from New Recruits. Thing is, this list isn't exactly accessible to anyone unless they go into the forums and actually search for it.
My suggestion, is that somewhere up top, either under Instructions, where it lists what settings is blocked from New Recruits, have a link to a list of every single map that is either: A. Blocked from them, or B. A list of maps that they are able to use.

Specifics/Details:

http://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=instructions4 Right under the list of settings they are blocked from and above the explanation of the Conqueror symbol, have a link to either a post, or just a plain list of maps that are blocked from New Recruits.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

Recently a player came into Live Chat asking why his friend couldn't find his game. After listing all the settings he had, I asked what map he used. After doing a lengthy search, I finally discovered that his map he chose was blocked from New Recruits joining it.
This can help New Recruits who join with a bunch of friends who want to play a game, and for people who want to know the list.

good idea

it would also allow us to suggest maps that should also be blocked and debate their inclusion

more nitpicky debate, I'm sure that's exactly what lack wants to deal with :-s

Good point. Lack does spend a lot of time on the forums.

blocked maps should be listed.

No, it's not. I think TFO's idea is BA.

I have added a list of maps available to New Recruits to the completed map list in the Viewing Gallery of the Foundry: viewtopic.php?f=358&t=79067&p=2831894#p2831894

I believe (although cannot be certain) that this page is linked from somewhere on the instructions which mentions the maps?

Wow, noobs can play Poison Rome and Halloween Hollows? That doesn't sound right...

by **Bruceswar** on Mon Oct 18, 2010 7:40 pm

the list needs to be updated. Maybe lack can put together a small committee of people to keep this list up to date.

by **greenoaks** on Mon Oct 18, 2010 8:38 pm

why are they allowed to play 2010 World Cup and we are not :evil:

I think they should be able to play seasonal maps. Definitely not Poison Rome, though.

Please don't use such a bright green...that hurt(s). Anywho, I wouldn't move this to implemented just yet. I think a more organized way that's less user dependent and official should be implemented, possibly, as stated earlier, as a link under Instructions or Help.
