Maps Database

[MostNightMare]

Hello ENT!

I am here from a recent time, and since the registration, this is my first visit of the community forums.
Anyway, The point of this Thread is the following:

As if I'm not wrong, you're storing a big amount of maps in your database, server. Beside that, there is a thing that Maybe someone has, or maybe hasn't mentioned about the map's content, which means, the number of newcomers is increasing every minute and the number of uploaded map is sightly increased too.
I am here just to share my opinion about them.
I'll skip a certain of things that have to mention from and for the content above,... Realising that there are many hacked maps uploaded on the server provoked me to write this thread.
. . . If possible, please check the content of the uploaded maps, just because there are people(Players) that strongly disagree with playing hacked maps which might cause the reputation of yours get on a low level and decrease every moment and so on.
To conclude, reduce the number of hacked(cheated) maps/reduce the number of copies (of a same map)...
Play Fair - Don't Cheat online!

I am sorry if there is any missunderstanding and so on, pardon me on miss-typos of if the content has insulted anyone!

Peace,
MostNightMare

Player uploaded maps are for their personal use only. The maps I upload via ENT link will not appear on your list of uploaded maps. Similarly the maps you upload won't appear on my list. You can however play on my uploaded maps if you have the load code for them which i doubt you would know.

If a player hosts on hacked map it's their choice. Who are we to deny them their fun of playing on a hacked map? If you don't want to risk playing on a hacked map then you can just play on our autohosted games. It's as simple as that.

Actually the https://entgaming.net/link/host_add.php page shows maps uploaded by players (and actually only shows those).

It would be much more inconvenient to our users for them to have to wait for their maps to be checked in order to play them. As DreathKnight said, if you don't want to take the chance that map is hacked, only play on the autohosted ENT games (has [ENT] and a game # in the title).

It would be far too much overhead, and be unfair to our legitimate users.

Thank you for the suggestion though @MostNightMare , we appreciate the feedback.
