Although this map certainly doesn't deserve any good tags, Nando brings up a very very very valid point. Nando's double paragraph explicitly explains the problem with the current tagging system, I couldn't have said it better myself. If you are to host a game with HostingBuddy it will almost always cycle through the exact same 100 year old rubbish. Going back and updating these map's tags would take way too long, so that's out of the question, but there is always a simple solution, to everything.

Make it happen

it was kinda edging on that but wasn't too sure to be honest!

Userc479: I get your reasoning - it certainly fits in with how the rating has been done around here lately. I've seen quite a couple of very good maps released recently that got tags: none. I understand it when you say that standards have been raised and only outstanding maps should receive a positive tag. But there are some practical and frustrating problems with this shift in attitude: As far as I can see, HostingBuddy only uses maps that have a positive tag for its random selection. Thus you get crappy old maps (that received good tags at the time they were released) over and over again, but it rarely ever loads any new good maps since they have no positive tags. So either you look up the number of a good map you know (which means that most of the time you don't try out new maps) or you refresh dozens of times until you get something half-way decent.

Also, I think the majority of people don't come here often and check out all the new maps as soon as they are released. I'd guess that many people come here and use the search function to download a few maps (filtering for good ratings while doing so), but then don't come back until they grow bored of the maps they've got. But when they filter for good tags, most of what they find is (as you yourself have pointed out) really old maps that don't even deserve the rating they've got by current standards.

i'd even tend to not-so-good-gfx ;P

The person who wanted the tags reviewing again - let me just explain - all those maps you pointed out have been put onto wmdb.org have all been last years maps or year's before. Time and time again I tell people that those maps are quite old and not ideal for comparing especially when each year - the map standards are raising higher and I felt this map didn't need any tags.

Thanks, man :)

Thinking about making a tower map in this style, actually. It's really much work, though, because you have to place and colour each line individually ^^ So it might be a while until I get to it.
