At least you guys could play nice and not completely massacre the guy.
Instead of:
"this map idea sucks. go do something else. you are horrible at photoshop."
which i have seen many times before, Why not just a:
"I dont think this map will work out because A. [insert something here] and B. [insert something else here]. I think the best idea for you will be to move on from this idea and try something else.

I have been part of this map foundry since before you even joined this site. I have seen everything in here. I don't always post, but i have always checked the foundry almost every day that I am on the forums.
I was here, watching the forums, when USApocalypse and Circus Maximus were being created. You werent even a member of this site then.
And yes, i know that some maps that get attacked are still continued and finished. I am just saying that, in the best interests of the new guys, play a bit nicer and show them a new, nice Map Foundry, instead of scaring them away.
I have had personal experience with the kind of stuff i am trying to stop.
Here is one for you:

1. gameplay sucks
2. graphic is bad
Instead of "Gameplay sucks, graphic is bad", EXPLAIN WHY IT SUCKS!
then the guy can IMPROVE HIS MAP, instead of being disheartened and pushed away from the foundry.
You guys arent all high-and-mighty just because you have been around here for a while.

FREAKS i tell ya.
get away from me.... the voices ... THE VOICES..... they don't stop....NEVER.....it's cold.....and dark....
Coming from the man with three eyes.
the third one is the one i ripped from you with my bare hands.
That's okay, I think my eye patch is fancy.
Uhh.. Back on topic time. I don't hate the map, but I can't help feeling it could be better.
Last time i was in here, it was me trying to create a map. I ended up with almost 2 pages of stuff like the quote above. Yes, that is an actual quote, with DiM and Coleman spamming my map thread.
That is part of the reason I quit posting, because I was honestly trying to make a good map, and all i got was crap from the guys who thought they were the best.
All i am asking is for you guys to play nice, and even though you hate the map, the guy that just made it probably spent a lot of time on it. It hurts to have your map repeatedly insulted by the guys who think they own the place just because they have made a few maps. That new guy that just posted the crappy map probably thinks its the best map in the world, and its not fair to anyone to destroy that.
Even though you might not realise it, it HURTS to have your map insulted. it HURTS to be completely rejected and ignored.
