Major update to the AAAA Map Database

Hi all well maybe not to exciting but something I have been trying to get working for a while and managed to sort it out.

When I created the Database I kind of just focused on the main record for each map and allowing it to contain as much flex on detail and also to allow rating system and comments for each map.

I noticed that Ubersoldier (Dave) had started to post comments on a few maps which helps a lot in building the info for each map which helps everyone when they come to find or use a map.......... (Many Thanks Dave )

What I had not scoped in was allowing bulk users to edit the main map record so for security and anti spam only the site admins group here had access to edit.

Any Way I now have implemented a solution to allow any registered user input to the project - so they can update an existing Map record - Its then flagged as waiting for approval which a few site admins and moderators can due to make sure its not Spam or anything bad - I will role this out to the mod database but dont think we need it on other stuff as we dont get that much spam.

See how it works but seems to be stable

Looking back in hindsight a mass user safe edit that is moderated and approved should have been on my list.........

The basic concept is not hard on most Websites to have moderated content approval system - To implement this for new content is easy and I have this turned off at present as we only get the odd spam attack that gets past our front line these days - we had one the other week but this was via an RSS feed so was not direct content on this site but we published it automatically in its 100's but I have sorted that now untill the next time

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again
