I think the war3 site I used to download maps from had a 5 star system and you could sort the maps by rating that was how I would determine if I wanted to even bother with the maps. Though I prefer 1-10 system over 1-5
Rating systems are a bit overrated (harhar) A "like" system such as in facebook or on youtube works much better. Simple reason is that most people tend to either vote the max or the minimum amount of stars.
Anyway, I would love to see either a rating system or a like system, anything that allows me to sort maps/mods by quality is good
I would rather have a rating system, if battle.net doesnt have one implemented with it anyway. The Hive Workshop had a good system where the number of votes were weighted into its ranking on searches (a rating of 4.8 and 100 votes is more reliable than one with 5 and 2 votes).
SC2Mapster is ment to give developers a base to trade-off ideas, suggestions etc. (forums), and helping debugging their stuff ( alpha stuff, beta stuff, experimental stuff, test of concepts etc. )
While SC2.curse is for general download purposes and also supports a 5-star rating system, and has special "offers" to get in contact to the author, too.
Sure, something like a Rating system would be nice for mapster, but there are too many special cases (in my opinion) that makes a serious rating system hard.
Thank you. I just registered to suggest some way of sorting maps so I could find out which were worth playing; if not a rating system then just a simple download count field we can sort by. However, it looks like SC2.curse has that, and judging from my registration email, they are an affiliate of sc2mapster. So how does that work; are all maps pushed to released status here published on SC2.curse? If so you guys have a very nice little rev control system going on here that shames blizzard's meager offering.

Suggestion 10/10. :D

I give 5 stars to this idea.
Facebook!? In my starcraft?
Ew.

Thanks- aes
Both are on the list of things to do. As of right now, all maps published on mapster are read by the Curse Maps DB.
