I'd like to point out something I have realized during the last months:

1) There are plenty of waypoints for the most popular bots on the web.

2) Unfortunately, 90% of them suck.

I only know about PODBot waypoints, but since I'm a pretty good waypointer myself I know a bad waypoint file when I see one - and concerning PB waypoints, I've seen loads of sh*t so far. Excuse my language, but it's true.

Therefore I'd propose some kind of quality check - I mean, I'm sure I`m not the only one in this forum who understands a bit about waypoints, so maybe it would be possible to have forum members check submitted waypoint files prior to adding them to a waypoint database. This might be a way to guarantee a certain quality level.
To speak in PODBot terms, a waypoint file worse than any of TAZ's, for example, should be a waypoint file to go straight to the recycle bin and not to a database, if you know what I mean...
I don't know how many pwf's I have d/l'ed, looked at, deleted - and then replaced with my own waypoint instead. It would be nice if we could save the bots-united guests that trouble.

What do you guys think...?
