Cannot upload a map - pipeline does not start (502 server error)

[YevheniiPokhvalii]

When I try to submit a map to https://unrealarchive.org/, the Processing Status just does not start and the map does not appear in pull requests no matter how long you wait. This happened lately. Tried in several browsers.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 ()
index.html:268 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toString')

Yea not letting me upload anything for a while, finishes the bar and then nothing happens in my end.

I disabled uploads to slow the roll of one "Moloch" who spammed literally hundreds of their maps, many of which are duplicates and variations of themselves, since they decided to upload every single one individually rather than as a simple batch.

Apologies, but it's taking a while to get through all the approvals and cleanup.

I'll probably open uploads again once I've added some max uploads per day restriction or something.

Moloch is an outstanding artist. He made a lot of maps for UT 3 (about 150). Some of them are pretty unique especially his later works. Many have H. P. Lovecraftian themes. Right now it's almost impossible to find his works online.
Steve Lois even highlighted some of those maps: https://stevelois.com/2020/03/26/moloch-map-pack-8-for-ut3-released/
Sorry, it was not a spam. Some maps are just really big to upload in bulk.

P.S. There's like 50 of them left and also mappacks. I hope you won't ban for those uploadings :)
As for the duplicates, all those maps are actually pretty different, take his Alien_Explorer series as an example.
