I dont see the need for this tbh when its right there niext to it on the right hand side, larger and easier to read. But thats just my opinion.

I don't see why you wouldn't put this info in one place tbh. I personally now look at thumbnails and only scan for creator when looking for tracks (I know, shoot me), so to have to look in two places is annoying. I would like to see thumbnail AND creator to see if I will play.

I have to agree with seb on this. The only thing this would do is make TC worse. People would upload a track, see something needs a fix, delete it, re-upload it and maybe even do this multiple times with the same track.

At the moment there is at least an insentive to "grind" your track to see if it needs fixes and let as many people as you want do testruns on it if you are unsure, if you could delete your track after uploading, this insentive would be gone and alot more people would just upload their track not caring if they made a mistake because they can just delete it afterwards and reupload it.

Everybody knows the risks of uploading a track, if something in your track is broken it's your own fault and you should learn from the experience to do better next time...




Like seb said,, leaderboard would be gone for that track so what would be the point of having it? And tracks that get deleted would have bugs most of the time anyway so why would you want to keep a track like that? Nobody is going to delete a good track right?
....And imagine pressing the wrong button and deleting your best track ever

Have to agree with you there, I was never in favour of creators being able to delete but it is worth discussing as some requested it (and this thread is for all suggestions, not just mine!). More problems created than solved imo if deleting is enabled from TC, but I will leave it in the list with a '?' as a record of suggestions. Thanks for all the input on this.


edit: sorry for triple post, trying to read and respond to everything in the thread
edit2: thanks for the sticky guys, appreciated

edit3: pretty sure that the notifications are broken for TC tracks "X beat your time in" with no name to the track. Added to first post.

Thanks for the effort, morrillo. I made some layout changes to make the document easier for others to read and contribute to.

Wow, looks a treat now..ta!

Added a few more bugs I noticed (FMX custom 'faults' etc.).

I'm suggesting a couple of features:

1. Give track creators the ability to delete their own tracks. This comes in handy when an issue with a track slips by testing.

2. Give users the ability to load more tracks when they reach the bottom of the feed.

3. Have the Track Central feeds update more regularly. As it is, it seems to update only once in a 24 hour period.

Im not sure if any of the other builders on the different platforms feel the same, but I almost don't want to put anything up until there is some kind of interim feed to hold tracks between the new feed and highest rated of the week. If you look in that highest rated, there are some seriously poor tracks with 2-3000 downloads, and then there are some great ones which didn't make that feed, have had plenty of work put into them and have less than 100 because they didn't make the highest rated of the week.

I know there isn't anyway this can be assured, and I certainly don't make tracks for attention/ratings, however it is enfuriating to put a good amount of hours into a track only for it to disappear within 2 hours while there are 5 versions of impossible stairs in the weekly feed. A 48 hour feed or something like that would help this situation.

Good one emcee. An interim feed is a simple concept that everyone should be able to understand. Everyone will then know that everything in there is basically on probation and has the right to be taken down by the creator for however long the interim feed lasts. Its unreal how easy it is to miss a certain detail in a peice of work, and them IMMEDIATELY realize it when something is released. Players could even guage the public demand with this feed. If something does poorly, because it's crap, they might take it down, and tweak it some more and come back with something better.

Less mistakes and higher quality stuff? Yes please.
