Actually, it's not that we need more BATs.
We just need more people who mod. After all, lots of the things submitted to Pending nowadays have errors, and you don't need a BAT until it's error-free (for bubbles and such). Besides, lots of the crap submitted nowadays are nukeable. I even see 1 difficulty beatmaps in Pending. Other than that, we don't need any more BATs. We just need more active modders. The issue is that while we have plenty of BATs and members, the amount of them actively modding isn't big enough to mod all the maps that get submitted, hence they often just take requests, and occasionally mod semi-randomly.
That's all. If more people modded on a semi-regular basis, life would be easier, but that doesn't look to be happening any time soon.

It's actually in my sig. What I just noticed is that is too small and maybe not noticeable <.< I should post even more.DJPop wrote:

I've tried, and yeah, I did some modding like that, but then, I got distracted by U.N. Owen was her and stuff.Ekaru wrote:

2. That reminds me that I said I'd mod someone's map. ;P He kinda asks me whenever he makes a map. So do my friends who started mapping occasionally for fun. Why do they ask ME though? Oh well.
Finding maps to mod isn't an issue, because if someone doesn't request a mod job while you're on, there's a gigantic 'Pending' forum. No excuses there, sorry.
Same here. 25% of my posts are in the graveyard............RemmyX25 wrote:
, but when I attacked pending for a whole month, most of those maps are now in the graveyard.
Huh. A rewards and punishment system? Please elaborate.darrihuka wrote:
1. We need more responsible BATs. I look down upon those who get their BATship and run away.
2. We have to find a way to make BATs mod (rewards and punishment system is necessary). This is the most important imo.
3. Map maps of better quality.
I agree. I always try to say "you could do so and so" or "probably do so and so" but people always end up doing it anyway. Only a few say that they don't want to change something (eg. eiji, darri)lukewarmholiday wrote:
or perhaps beatmappers are taking BATs suggestions as "CHANGE OR ELSE" statements.
How about a little table that shows how often a BAT mods / how much a BAT has modded? Adding that colour thing that was added would also be a neat factor. That'd motivate me to mod more.Echo wrote:
Actually, reward and punishment would be interesting. Obviously it can't be anything monetary. But then what would give someone motivation to mod?
That isn't really necessary, as we don't have a sole member moderating beatmaps. A BAT nomination poll would make more sense. Although, anyone with enough skill and time to become one should have already been contacted, right?minyeob wrote:
How about holding BAT election?

I wonder how is a BAT chosen..
There are currently 17 pages of pending maps, of course there is a need for a bigger BAT.Derekku Chan wrote:

Any chance?
I think I have the qualifications for a BAT...but anyways...True. I think.
In my greedy point of view we have enough BAT members.I don't think so. We have too many maps in pending and work-in-progress. I don't think it possible... But I want balance beetween new map/ranked map.
BAT makes some people think they are more superior than normal mods.True. I think. But some BATs (I don't want to say names) really better them normal modders.
More BATs does not necessarily mean more ranked maps. What we need to do is get all of our BATs active again.tieff wrote:

More like equal priority. It's also a judge of character, since BATs are also forum / IRC moderators, and i think its a reallyyy bad idea giving those powers to just anyone.tieff wrote:
I trust you. But modding maps get high priority, right?
Hmm... I don't know about this. Btw, this power is nothing. I don't think like really good modders wanna became BAT just becouse of forum/IRC moderation power.RemmyX25 wrote:

Items like this are considered when there are users that may have BAT potential. :3tieff wrote:
Then сandidate in BAT/Global Mod should be persone, who has long been in game and who don't use your power in bad goal.
This is to chop redundant and repetitive team things.animask wrote:
..btw if its called BAT why do they do more than just beatmap approval stuff?
Could you explain why these groups need to be separated in the first place?animask wrote:
I vote for a seperate team that actually only "Approves Beatmaps" and ranks them...
awp : Couldn't we have a team that was meant to help with the editing of beatmaps if thats the case?awp wrote:
BAT are technically not supposed to mod

If not, tell me what to develop more. I'm a beginner modder
More regular players' modding also helps someone's map.RemmyX25 wrote:

You don't need more BATs to mod, you need more regular players to test drive your map.
That's true.0_o wrote:

Discuss.
You seem to think that everyone must have the same skills when it comes to beatmapping in order to make the assumption that more ranked maps = more popularanimask wrote:
I think that's slightly prejudice towards all the beatmappers. Ranked beatmaps only show that they seem to get more attention than most people and popularity shouldn't be a major issue when being a BAT.
Uh...but shouldn't be we not ignore those user posts? I mean, what if they had corrections? Unless they were all StarGens wrote:
(If you go look at my beatmap threads, ignore the normal user posts; the first BAT finds little to no errors, then bubble and rank it. At least in my recent maps.)
Well, yeah, but most users pull out suggestions I disagree with, and they are small (clap here, new combo), so that's why I said that. Since I'm trying to get my priority up now, I can't avoid those horrible nazis. I was mainly referring to major issues. ;oStarrodkirby86 wrote:
