How Do Maps Get Featured?

How Do Maps Get Featured?

Postby Phant0mB0nnie » 7 May 2020, 18:12

Just wondering. Is there like some secret algorithm used or are they nominated by people?

He means how do maps get to the "Highlighted Custom Map" section. I think it has to go through an admin for a map to be "featured". I had my bunker map "featured" and just before it was put on, a message from Tempus was posted onto my bunker map page.

So I'm pretty sure it just has to go through admin selection to make sure the map is fun, fair, and appropriate.

I'm pretty sure it is 100% randomized by the system.

Featured, highlighted, whatever. Basically they put the map on the custom maps main page for all to see.

Well, no offense to anyone, but not all the highlighted maps are all that great.

I've seen a lot of great highlighted maps and a lot of "amateur" highlighted maps as well. It is highly unlikely for the map to be randomly chosen because there are blank and outright bad maps in PB2, yet not once do those maps ever get highlighted. Like I said before, I think it goes through admin selection just how custom decors and maps become approved.

Phant0mB0nnie avoid double posting the next time use the edit button
Girl_Power when you see someone who breaks the rules use the report button

Ontopic:I think its totally random how maps get featured(or atleast the map needs to be new or it been recent updated)
