  • I think a wiki approach to some of the map details, this includes tags/labels, could actually be ideal for this.

    This would allow handling of adding authors (to StarCraft), as well as some other attributes.

    While this eliminates one problem, this stil leaves us with authorship. I agree that it'd be nice to say "This map is based on this map", but how can we approach that problem with a viable solution?

    We can leave it up to the community (which I'm glad to see is in on this!) to "report" these things, and when something gets enough of this kind of attention, we say "This map has been reported as being based off of X". I don't want to use the word stolen, because quite frankly, a lot of people don't mind, and even more so, don't understand this concept.

    Many people, just want to improve upon a map.

    So if we take this approach we can do a few things...

    Reports:

    - Inappropriate; stupid maps like the nudity ones
    - Not Original Author; not sure what we'd call this, but then it'd require you to link (and only on Nibbits to prevent spam) to the map which is the original creation.
    - <insert more here>

    Wiki-like editing:

    - Description/map name
    - Author (however, this is an issue.. I dont want people changing the author to be the original author, if he's not the one who had been editing it).
    - Tags/labels
