Watch out, shark attack! Here in Yahoozy's [nmaps.net] map, An Attack [nmaps.net], you experience the true thrill and danger of a well put together and orchestrated mine jumper map. Left to right you dodge mines to find yourself face to face with the beast, you then will use a teleport to descend into the belly of the shark. This map is truly a must play and one could even say, this map is real killer! — mrgy05

While there's no 'official' rule for this at present, the community leans toward this number as a polite and considerate post rate.

This rate will also garner the best possible amount and quality of feedback.

It works out best for everyone.

Thanks.

is itself being reviewed. A couple of inactive reviewers have been disabled and we're currently recruiting users more interested in the position.

For the moment, until proper guidelines are laid, any reviewer inactive for a month will be removed.

The application process currently remains the same.

A handful of users have received 10 day bans.

If you want to edit and submit your own version of an existing map then credit the source (Metanet maps) or ask permission beforehand (user maps). If submitted without, the the map(s) will be considered plagiarized and result in a temporary ban for the user(s) in question.

Also, when posting a group of maps at once, please be aware of the users who've posted before you. Two maps per page is considered a polite maximum, and while there's official limit, those submitting with obvious disregard will be dealt with in a similar fashion to the above.

Continual abuse of either will result in accounts being permanently disabled.

Congratulations (or commiserations?) to astheoceansblue, who is now a full administrator on NUMA.

Reason: Plagiarizing maps and showing no signs of changing. Sorry dude. Stop being a dick.

Amazon's S3 service is down right now. As a result, new maps can't be submitted, and thumbnails and full images for existing maps may not load.

They say it'll be back up soon. You can check the status for yourself here [status.aws.amazon.com] - look for the item labelled "Amazon Simple Storage Service (US)".

Please welcome astheoceanisblue as our newest moderator.

Now that the backlog of featured maps is somewhat cleared and we have a decent archive, I'm resetting the interval at which new featured maps are displayed to 24 hours. The remaining maps already in the queue will continue to go out every 12 hours, but once those are exhausted (in a couple of days), new reviews will go live every 24 hours.

The following things are not abusive, and should not be reported:::

• Profanity: Profanity is impossible to police and is generally not that bad to have around. Profanity only becomes a problem when it is also insulting or hate speech--and those things are considered abusive with or without profanity.
  
• People who dislike your map(s): People are entitled to dislike your maps. In fact, constructive criticism isn't even necessary, but it's expected. Again, criticism of your maps is only a problem when it disparages you directly.
  
• Poor maps: People are allowed to make poor maps. People are not allowed to make offensive maps.
  

The following things might be abusive or should be reported:::

• Spam: People are not allowed to spam. Report it.
  
• Accidental multi-posting: Calling this abuse creates a bit of a misnomer. Report this only if it's way excessive and a mod needs to clean it up. The occasion double post or even triple post isn't typically a problem.
  
• Flaming or flamebaiting: If someone insults you directly or attempts to get you into an argument, you may be able to report it as abuse. It is not considered flaming or flamebaiting if a person doesn't like your map. If you get hypersensitive about someone disliking your map, you're the one flaming--not them.
  
• Offensive content: Messages can become offensive content when it becomes sexually- or racially-charged or would otherwise offend the sensibilities of the average Internet denizen. Maps which are hateful, offensive, or promote flaming and personal tensions can be reported also.
  

The issues with NReality maps that were imported from the old site have now been fixed.
