It was my understanding that the map database was for work in progress maps and maps that might never be fully finished as well as released maps, a repository. Over the last few months it's seemingly become a place to bully people, and people have said I don't finish my maps.

It's a valid criticism, but I also just get really, really bored with a particular map and want to start over on something else. I am not paid to do this. Anyway comments like this:

Ok, whats the point to post some maps that you will never finish ?

This is like the tenth like that.

There should be a rule on this website that do not allow you to make a new page until it's not finished."

and people editing my main page to post nasty things like:

"1. Quality and quantity. Sure you can make countless maps consisting of rectangles with random textures plastered all over it. But don't expect people gonna play them longer than 1 minute, when there's nothing else just few monsters and incoherent brushworks. Adding func_vehicle to these maps is like, you made burnt cake. Adding a tasty cherry to the top if it, wont make the cake delicious." - Streamfox On My Personal Mapper Page

Really make me not want to contribute anything but also makes me want to try something different and want to try to connect some of my unfinished maps.

Now I have no idea what the fucking rules are around here, ColdBlooded could just strait up come in this thread and be like "don't put your personal grievances in public" but I thought people who were in comment conversations in those other pages that I deleted deserved to know why I deleted them.
