I recently got my first parkour map I put a lot of time into rejected; for being an unoriginal theme.
It would be very nice to see this stated in the Map Submissions Information Page.
Idk if I'm blind or not, but I went through that page pretty well and didn't see anything about having to have an original theme.
Please let me know if I missed it, but I just had to say something since it seems all the time I spent on it was a waste.

You're right. The submissions guidelines page is out of date in many ways. At least now you know.

It's also somewhat your fault. If you clicked on and viewed even just one rejected map submissions (labeled in bright red: Rejected) and you would've easily learned that a huge majority of rejected maps are due to an unoriginal theme.

I understand, that either way about the theme my map wouldn't be accepted. But it still would of been nice to know about the unoriginal theme. And I did not know that majority people get rejected because of it. This was my first map to be submitted.

Do /log <like, name of the theme or sthn> and look at Shinx's giant document.
