This has never been a major concern before, but now it's cropping up regularly and flooding threads, leaving little room for the people not involved in the map making process to leave feedback. Take your Feudal Wars map for example. People weren't leaving feedback, it was just the same small group of people swapping images backwards and forwards. To summarise, I don't think it's healthy for a maps development.

I think you misunderstand me. I was saying a map only
needs up to two people working on it, one on the graphics, the other XML. I wasn't saying a map can only have two people, but I must say I don't see the point in having multiple people doing graphics.

The only attitude I see is coming from yourself DiM, and now you're dragging others down with you.

My intention wasn't to insult. You've been warned what might happen, you didn't care... you threw it back in my face.
DiM wrote:so i once again ask the question. WHY WAS MY POST DELETED?
i did not break any rule. and why aren't the "rules" applied equally? there are many posts in this thread that contain images and yet my post was the only one that got deleted. and don't tell me you chose that specific post to set an example because that's a big pile of bull.
Both yourself and Telvannia had posts deleted, you both have received official warnings for this sort of thing before. Perhaps I was wrong in deleting your posts, it certainly seems to be the popular consensus. My intention was not to offend, and the only posts removed were done so after my initial request to take the discussion elsewhere.
However, none of this really matters. The issue has been discussed to death. The way the Map Ideas sub-forum will work from now on has been relaxed to let you guys carry on your discussion without a perhaps overzealous mod breathing down you neck.
Just understand, the idea behind the Map Ideas sub-forum was for it to be a place to post your initial map drafts. This tends to incorporate borders, continents and a little more detail than what has been posted in this thread so far. When multiple people are involved in the making of a map, it has not usually meant the development of a draft takes place in the Foundry. I have been acting, as I believe, in the interest of the Foundry as a whole, not for the benefit of a small group of cartographers.
Again, my intention was not to offend. Now if you guys want to sling mud my way, continue to do so in a Flame Wars topic. I'm not interested in reading little digs at me all over the Foundry.
