Ok, would it be possible, if a person who's created a pa**word or whitelist protected map goes inactive, or is banned for any reason, that their maps could be unlocked for people to use? It seems like there are several maps that are essentially wasted with the people who have control of them being inactive or banned and I think the community could enjoy access to those maps since they're obviously not around anymore.

Of course if they did happen to become active again or get "un" banned then they would have the option of pa**word or whitelist protecting their maps once they return.

Just a thought to try and open up some maps that are otherwise dead weight.

Really, they should just be removed from the listing once the player loses PP or goes inactive.

I realise that that's a waste of precious game content, but it's kinda true. I'll think about it.

Well personally I'd hate to see that added content wasted. I could understand your viewpoint though.

I don't think the maps should disappear when one's PP goes away.

Instead, if there is absolute no activity whatsoever in that map (a period of 3 months?), it gets opened to the public.
Or even better, with regards to mini-games, have players' ID's whitelisted... Another type of lottery. (smiley)

Negative.

     A map creation is the design of someone else and the NPC's / Bosses are from the points that the person paid. They have the right to that intellectual property regardless of how inactive they get. If they stop PP go ahead and restrict them from using the map until they get PP again but don't delete it or release it to other people. It is their choice to make the map public or not. They paid for that right, even if they are someone who was banned. If this is not honored I will not support the site again because I don't want something I work on for me to go to other people unless I intend it to.

     The maps available are very good. Unless you're upset because you are actually the one who made one of the maps under a multi who was caught cheating. I guess that would make me pretty upset too and I would ask if "other" peoples maps could be unlocked.
