Cannot comment on my own map. Come on!

[supertramp]

I know it needs more than 200kills to review a map. I know this is a system to prevent rate farming. But at least let the owner comment on his own map. Because I can't say "Thanks" if people says "I love your map", "Nice map", "I hate this map I rate 1!" or someone asks "Can you open the source?"

Please tell me if you make this topic in a wrong place xD

Your other account is _Cube right? I can't see it now.

Would it kill you or someone to get 200 kills?

Some people, such as myself, can't or at least struggle to play the game with reasons such as poor computer performance, lag, etc. Those people have to suffer because of an anti-rate farming system that promotes and encourages playing multiplayer, but limits it to those that actually can, just to be able to rate or at least comment on a map. There's a reason people are wanting it to be changed to make it based on account lifetime and activity, rather than kill count.

I personally think you should be able to comment on your own maps by default. Rating would still be disabled, but comments wouldn't. You get nearly the best of both worlds. The anti-farming system would still have its encouragement to go play MP or at least show some presence there, and mapmakers can respond to people with comments without worrying about getting kills to be able to do so.

Users being able to rate and comment on maps with a required minimum of ingame experience is actually not that senseless since it prevents farming rates and whatnot (as said above).

Sure. It can be a 'knapf' if you made a new account just for mapmaking, though people usually care enough to get 200 kills and/or deaths so it is fine in the most cases.
I also think the comment feature is linked with the rate feature which only Eric can update.

Yeah, would be great to have that feature as a seperate one so you would not need any kind of ingame experience.
Even if people usually start with mapmaking after they did spend a certain amount of time ingame.
