This is a Curse problem, I think. Because Mapster is a Curse site it uses the Curse database for finding projects and maps. It's not something we can easily change as it'd require the whole Curse database to change (for ALL Curse sites, if I'm correct).

But you could deactivate the additional categories, couldn't you? Meaning that uploaders are forced to choose only one category.

Sixen isn't a Curse employee. Not sure if he technically ever was, even when he got paid.

OutsiderXE Regular ShmoeGreetings fellow mapsters,
It's a great site but the one thing I really don't like is how in the Maps section the categories of a map/project can overlap. It makes it hard to browse when so many are labelled as Campaign/Tower Defense/Base Defense and so on... I really prefer a system (like hiveworkshop.com) where each map/project is only allowed into one category.
The problem is the uploaders try to fit too much information into that little space, when it should just be very general information.
If you're a mapmaker you shoulde be able to know whether your map is really a shooter with RPG elements (and label it as a shooter) or an RPG with shooter elements (and label it as a shooter). If you upload a multi-map campaign where each map has its own gametype yu should still just call it a campaign.
Hoping my suggestion is being taken into consideration, OutsiderXE
edit: OK I just had a look at "add new map". You already have a "main category" option. Now it just needs to look distinguishable from the "additional categories".
