So instead of slin just looking for maps to verify their should be a button in the menu in-game to (send to verify suggestions) and then slin can look through that list or something. Also each verify suggestion is a [verify star] (also the more verify stars the level gets the higher it is on the list)
#new verified map idea

that's what the like when finishing a level was supposed to be used for
but it's not really working out cause the average grab player has shit taste. the map was hard -> dislike, the map wasn't a slide? -> dislike and so on
those ratings are all over the place
instead I am planning to have a big group of somewhat trusted players that can recommend maps to verify from inside the game
so basically what you are saying, but only 20 people or so can actually do it
zealous quartz
So basically more mods 🤷
left umbra
well, except I am still the one to chose from those levels which get verified
and mods too probably
so it's a bit below moderators in their power
since it's just flagging maps for verification
moderators can actually verify
zealous quartz
Good idea
left umbra
that said, I might also auto promote maps if it gets flagged a lot
generally I plan on moving towards more automation
I spend too much time every day with moderating

More mods would help 🤷
left umbra
sure, but if the game grows more I'd need moderators moderating moderators

better to have things automated and prefiltered as much as possible
and then be able do deal with the remaining stuff with just a couple of people
zealous quartz
Yeah

You think admins will ever exist?
left umbra
probably not, but no idea
maybe
if I ever get people to help me
someone working on the backend services would need admin access
but for now that's only me
tawny scarab
Yeah, if there were were future devs would they qualify as admins?
tawny scarab
They'd have mod perms right
