I updated the rules for map submissions today, please see this topic.
http://www.cncmaps.com/index.php?showtopic=3055

why are there rules?

well you all expect certain things as the standard, for example you all expect to see that mini map preview image of a map before you download it right? That is the way almost every fan site does it.

you all expect the webpage to load fast right? well posting huge images in your map submission is bad and slows down the home page loading time for everyone. The site has to resize those images and it just slows things down for everyone.

Here are the 3 main reasons map posts are not approved.
1. no mini map image in the post.
2. CnCMaps Member Gallery not used as the image host.
3. Images larger than 440 pixels wide posted in the post.
