Perhaps the "standard" could be lowered to a 4.0? Or lower.
Do you feel that the levels of less skilled levelmakers is hindering the levels of levelmakers with a higher amount of skill? This idea hinders newer levelmakers and their chances for improving. Your idea of J2O being a level download site is inaccurate from my point of view; it is a site that the community visits, both for entertainment and for raising the standards for the levels on the server. Delete old content by force and nobody can look at it for a viable exemplar or base, to either follow or avoid. After all, it is due to the community's reviewers' opinions that various new levelmakers get the low ratings they get. I agree that the standard should continuously be raised for incoming levels, but if you trash the bad examples, who is to say that those bad examples will never come again because people did not know they were bad examples? If you forget history, it will most certainly be repeated against will, and that is not always a good thing.
