I would surely grant you that there are way too many crap maps floating 
around. Perhaps you should consider a second install to ease things for you? 
I currently run three, one to play online, one to map and work on the 
website with, and one to write code on. You could always create a "throw 
away install" and test your maps and things on it and once they pass muster, 
you could then install them on the default location.
