I'm not going to waste my time giving a full response to you.
You've made over 11 posts in the past 24 hours. I think you have time to talk to little old me.

Art is not objective

I agree, art is in the eyes of the beholder
Sweet, this was the expected response, luckily for my case there is an objectively, meaning a measurable difference between you and an industry professional. And that difference is not a matter of opinion or feelings. (As per the google definition.)
Lets draw psions sitting behind his computer as a cute anime girl. What can be objectively measured as better between a good and a bad work?
- The quality of your lineart
- Your lineart confidence, suggestion, etc
- I wasn't going to add "your ability to style" your lineart but yes, some styling is objectively better than others.
- Your coloring
- Colour that goes outside of the lines is worse than colour that does not. This is not a style choice or a matter of opinion.
- Your adhereance to the human anatomy
- Drawing a character with scoliosis because you cannot figure out proportions is worse than a character that is properly proportioned, this is not a matter of opinion. Unless of course the character does actually have scoliosis. Do you have scoliosis?
- Your ability to convey light
- You have the light from the computer and maybe the light from the ceiling. Portraying other light or incorrect reflections of the aformentioned is objectively worse than casting the light properly.
- Your ability to convery colour under light
- etc etc etc, i'm on a time crunch here and i've proved the point well enough.

Once you get out of the basic standards of a map being playable and functioning (criterion you don't even bother mentioning);
I don't see why I should need to mention those.

personally what i'd do is filter every map containing the word "astro" or "gap" and move all of these maps into their own category on the vault browser, that way the entire vault doesn't look like a single textured double cratered mess.
So you're saying that single textures are objectively bad here, or is map quality still completely opinion based?
This suggestion is made every other week. Despite the gimmie of "who is going to develop this?" I don't see what real benefit this gives. I can only see how this system is open to abuse. Either the most recent vault is easier to see and people just don't put astro in the name, or the "gap/astro" vault is easier and people put astro in their title to get into that vault too. This also doesnt solve issues with rights, as someone did infact make astro and making a vault dedicated to holding stolen rips of his work is not a good look.

My only qualms with what Morax (and maybe biass?) wanted to do was to get rid of the spam by just taking away mapping privileges from everybody except approved mapping authors, which I find to be a gross use of power.
I'm sorry dude but did you not read my application for the councilor role wherein I explicitly stated that not doing this was the entire point of me applying? I made a Tl;DR so at least read that.
