New Rule: If there exist two mapsets of a song, ranked within the same year, then a third mapset of the song cannot be ranked until the next year.
The reason I want to create this rule is that quite often, I notice that a certain song gains large popularity and has like, 6 mapsets of the same song being ranked. I can count plenty of maps that have this issue. The songs aren't bad, but it seems wasteful to have so much of the same song in the game. So by placing a slight restriction on it, mappers can have more diversity in their songs rather than just mapping popular TV size songs.
I'm leaving the ability to have more ranked in later years because there are instances where people may want to re-map a fairly popular song that hasn't grown well with the times (Such as this.).
Exceptions:
1. For the purposes of this, I will consider the full and TV size versions 2 different songs. So if there are two TV size versions of a song, then someone can still rank a full size version. Similarly, if the same song is sung by two different artists (In cases such as this.
Things I need help working in:
1. If two maps of a song are ranked in December, I want to make it so two more maps can't be ranked in Janurary, but rather there is more time
2. I'm not sure what to do with cut versions of songs (ie. Stuff like this.), if they'll be seen as different versions of songs or if they'll be classified as part of the full version.
Will update OP as discussion happens.
