I've been seeing a trend here that's getting worse, and frankly...I don't like it.
More and more maps are getting uploaded with no text at all (or a mere: Putting in no information that's actually related to the map is probably lazy and possibly unfair to the people looking for a map to play. At worse for you, people will ignore the map because there's nothing in the description to lure them into downloading it. On the other hand, people will have to download it to see what it's all about, which is unfair to them as it may be a map they're not even remotely interested in.

A few lines can suffice, for example: Of course, we're not going to complain if you write more.

As these are added the original entries remain on the server and can be downloaded, rated, commented upon further and are as such, presumably, wasting space and bandwidth as the file must have been updated for a reason. Now of course you can send us a mail to delete these files, but there's an easier way to update scenarios. You may want to mention it in your comments as well. This way you keep your comments, ratings, statistics and won't clutter up our server. Thank you for your cooperation.

So why not make use of it?
I've been seeing quite a few scenarios getting uploaded with titles like
