I figured I'd start writing reviews of the custom maps I play.
This one had a high score from other people but I didn't enjoy it. It's only feature is "it's big" -- lots of scrolling around, no real challenge. The author did lots of design, and built lots of tunnels and features, but most of them were completely irrelevant to actually playing it.

Maybe You're right! Good luck to You in finding the perfect map! :)

- Not every question requires a written answer. No response is sometimes the best answer.
- Shower encouragement and praise on the things you like, ignore what you dislike.
that's the man saying, not me. Don't waste time reviewing maps you found dull. There is bound to have hundreds of them around, and you can learn a new language instead.

Is that what you figured?
I figure you need to learn the rules of the road for this forum, and this link is a great place to start:

I'm putting on my moderator hat for this message:
Please don't get in the habit of responding or criticizing posts other people make on a map comment thread. That is off-topic and leads to flame wars. If you don't like what another poster says, report the post. There is a button for it. Being negative and critical of a poster can be similar to the original poster being negative and critical of the map - neither of those are ultimately helpful.
Constructive criticism - where you say what features or issues made the map less enjoyable for you - can be useful. Criticizing size, for instance. is a valid critique. If it was me, I'd have linked the OP to one or more of the super-small maps in Colonial Space.
