3. Unless the error is really bad, for a REALLY bad map. Like Timebomb. Or a map that got ranked very recently so that players haven't managed to get so much score yet.

I voted for option 2 as I find most of the time when a map needs to be unranked, it should be unranked. Although, I don't like how scores get cleared off of difficulties in a map that had no problems at all just cause one of the diffs had a problem.

In my opinion, the unranking process should change. I agree and don't agree at the same time how peppy would like if two or more BATs look at a map. I think that if was a major issue that should've been seen such has overlapping notes or a blatant spacing error, then yes, two more BATs should look at it, as more then likely the two BATs who ranked it missed other crucial errors. But say it was a small error that could've been overlooked, such as a minor spacing error or a few(not all) unsnapped notes or a slight change in BPM, then the map should be unranked, let the mapper fix the error, and then reranked preserving scores in diffs that has no problems.

At least that what I think would work best.

Most of the time one problem is overlooked, more are found. Like 9/10 times. Just sayin'

I wouldn't consider unranking to fix a "spacing" error to be appropriate. However, some of the BPM errors in older maps drive me nuts, and would love to see those corrected and re-ranked.

Project Renewal is baack?

I voted option 2. I believe a loss of scores is a small price to pay to fix a seriously broken map. (I feel dirty getting ranked points for the original Caramelldansen anyway. ) But don't derank a map for minor trivia like rare, one-off spacing errors. It's just not worth it, especially if the map is of quality.

Maps with a wrong BPM like Never Gonna Give You Up need to be fixed.

Also, the mapper should be allowed to request a de/re-ranking of their map to fix mistakes if either the map in question does reasonably need a rework or if it's only something like hitsounds or skinning and can be done without requiring a score reset.

Scores should only be wiped if something affecting gameplay has been changed. I suppose the BAT would need to check for this.

This would be automated.

i don't mind to lose scores if the map need changes. osu! is relaxing, play and mod maps for killing time.

Playing the same map is really annoying.

But
Nowadays, timing/spacing error can be found easily so we can make player's damage to minimum ^^

i went 2nd option..i don't mind losing my score...not really that big of a deal..but if a map needs unranking...then why was it ranked in the first place

if by voting the first option i only think of maps that has gotten ranked recently (year 2009) should be fixed, but only if it has major issues like timing or several hidden sliders. i don't mind loosing score, however i do mind all the effort it takes to re-rank the map(by that i mean score fixing/purging and the whole process of getting it ranked again). it's annoying for both the mappers, the players and the Admins.

PS: don't unrank anymaps now or i might loose my perfect score

the ranking system is tricky.

I chose option 2, due to the fact that - Yes, some maps WILL need editing, and yes, they will be needed so that they can go online for others to enjoy and attempt at beating one another at scores.

Along with that, I don't mind having to get the score again, as you can always better your self at something, but if it IS an often occurrence, then a LOT of people would be annoyed.

My2cents.

I definitely want quality maps to be pushed over scores. I don't mind losing my score at all.
If I ever have to play something again because it was unranked, I would of course try again as much as I need to (I'd be better at it, since I'd know the map by then).

The map quality is most important. I am happy to forfeit my score and achieve it again.

My 2 maps got slider issues...

In my opinion if there's space error then just let it be. Most of the ranked maps with this error were ranked long time ago. Treat that as a "feature" of old maps. The most important things is, this won't happen too often now
If this is timing error, then....um.... just unrank them lol

I feel it depends a lot on the amount of time since the ranking. If it's so minor that nobody's noticed it in, say, a month or two, it's probably not worth it. But if people are consistently noticing the error, especially if the map is new, every effort should be made to correct it.
