For more in-depth information on map porting, please see the [map porting](../map_porting) and [zoning](../map_zoning) guides.

First check:
- [ ] The map has been in public testing for at least 7 days

This is more of just something for us to think about, but I feel like we need a way to see how much each track was actually played in the testing period. I've reviewed maps that had few if any completions so I couldn't actually be sure how much it was tested. Maybe this will be better now that there's more people able to play.

I believe it's Tom's idea to keep maps in public testing for at least 7 days, but admins can bypass this. I'm adding this box mainly because I've seen some maps get fast-tracked and approved within a day of entering public testing, one instance (I think) within an hour

The 7 day thing has been planned for years, before I was even involved with the project. Honestly it's pretty skeptical of its usefulness. As rio said it doesn't guarantee people actually complete the map. Requiring completions doesn't sound particularly helpful either though, most players aren't providing feedback. I guess it's good to confirm that it's even beatable, but doesn't guarantee it's been tested significantly beyond that.

There have been a few maps that have been approved but had problems that needed addressing, which in a lot of those cases we would definitely have found the issues had the map been out in public testing for 7 days.
So I think we should keep that limit
