Players that was trying to finsh maps and me self with out skips finishes and saves deleted !
So i see that after map release players find skips or glitches and map is deleting or fixing and times that finishes and save are deleting .
So why to dont make a server wich players would able to find it glitches or skips in maps .
They would now for this they will not give any points .
Would be great idea to make a forum wich players will able to write send demo or video where is skip if need to ,
cause example i found another skip in map ''where am i '' someone else find more better way to skip it .
So how you see if one player find one skip someone else can find other skip !
So make Qualified server !
Idea if map would have no problem after map release finishes would be save and players points would be given .

Example

that would completely ruin the whole "release hype" for many players, also that doesn't change much from the current system

whoever wanna help finding bug can already do it on the test servers, adding more servers will just make it ultra confusing for players

@texonik
The Password for the open testservers is nimrocks
i dont know why they still have a Password since there are closed testservers now.

If the open testservers wouldn't have a password it would be filled with people who probably rather want to play a map than actually test it...

But test server no almost no one test , off course if they found glitch they probably will no tell you . Same would be with Qualified map .
But maybe then just open test server with out password it would solve problem that players find skips in map after release .
Idea when you join in test server there would be notification that in this test server points dont given , also link or how to go for post a glitch or skip ( Forum -> Map Testing ) .

Its very bad that after map release , map is deleting ! Need somehow to fix it i think !

well deleting maps/ranks happened twice recently but it's still very rare.. that's not like it's a big issue

i don't see how it would be any different on "open test servers". it would be even worse actually..
right now people have to type a password so they kind of know joining the server has a purpose, and you said even with a password many people don't care. removing the password just makes it worse?

also if i was a player and finished the "qualified map" with a skip i would not see any logic in reporting it.
it's basically "report the bug so you can play the full map once again, or don't say anything and hope that no one finds it so you won't have to play it anymore (and eventually get a free rank 1)"
the choice would be pretty simple to me

Maybe 3/4 people would like to write about a skip or a glitch to predict it before release ?!\
I would tell a glitch or skip if i would find !
