Beside the fact some people don't think the material that makes it isn't good, why does it keep repeating?

Some maps and variants have been favorites for 3 straight weeks. I am not bashing the material or the creator, but I think every week should be ALL new material and should never repeat. Give other people a chance to have their work noticed...

What do you think?

Maybe it's still their favourite??

I think if bungie put something in favorites they should edit the grammar a bit first... Capital letters don't kill people, the 100 content limit does.

But come ON. There are TONS of awesome and unique maps and variants out there (I'm not promoting mine) that deserve recognition too...If Bungie wants to do this than they should at least make room for more favorites.

Like, if they still like something, than keep it on favorites, but add additional material so there are still 4-5 unique maps, variants and pics that haven't made it yet.

Plus, how many times does bungie-created content make the favorites? A lot. It's not fair, in my mind, to the community. At least make more space to let the community members get recognized.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Screenshots and films are almost always replaced completely every week.

Game variants and map variants are less so. This is because while it is easy to view a screenshot or a film, it takes significantly longer to determine if the game/map variants are something we want exposing to a wider audience. Remember, the favorites lists are exposed to everyone here but also the many people who play the game and don't visit the web site.

We are very careful that the game and map variants there are the best of the best, and easy to digest.

That being said, we of course welcome suggestions for ways to help people increase the exposure of their files. The files forum is not really the best way - people aren't really meant to access the main topic index of those forums. Instead, you're supposed to just use the view thread links in each fileshare item. Of course, that doesn't always work, mostly because there are few other ways to promote your content.

Hmm. I see your point with the maps and the films.

As far as suggestions goes, maybe it would be easier and less competitive if Bungie would not allow replies to any published content. This would obviously not only cut down on bumping, but advertising.

So, instead of comments "bumping" the threads, perhaps the downloads and ratings should. So, if a map looks interesting, download and rate it. This would ensure the really popular stuff gets noticed...

I'm not 100% sure this system would work, but it's an idea.

Is there any possible way that you could link someones fileshare to their sig, or under the "More posts by this user" tag? I'm not sure exactly how effective that would be but it may bring a bit more attention to peoples fileshare's...

It IS as bad as you think and they ARE out to get you.

I just put the links in my sig. It's not like it's hard to find it.

Don't think so, becuase some people don't check it that often and lose the chance of a great favorite

Have you ever considerd having people who could go thru the file forums and recomend Screenshots, Variants and Gametypes to you guys? You may be able to find people that have more time to go thru the files and check them out. Mods perhaps, or a new group of people who do this type of thing for you? That way you could use the recommended files as a guide to the best that week had to offer.

Don't ask me how you would pick people who would not try and abuse this.
