This just doesn't matter, what is the point on creating random rules?

[Rule] Don't use Short, Full or Cut ver.

I have no clue what's so difficult on this:
Short Ver. = A shorter Version of the Song which is offical.
Cut Ver. = A shorter Version of the Song which is unoffical.
Full Ver. does not really exist. We got TV Size or Short Ver. but no real Full Ver.
http://osu.ppy.sh/s/11841 <- Actually a Cut Ver.
http://osu.ppy.sh/s/14405 <- The original Version which does not require (Full Ver.) in the Title.

Using Cut or Short ver. is very usefull, you will know how long is the song, or if it is the original one ...
I think Cut or Short version is good since you know how long is the song (as this sad above), and you will know this is not the original one. Someone cutted (officially or not) it. And Short version song does exist so we should use them as well.
Huh I am not sure if I said somewhere that Short Ver./Cut Ver. does not exist nor is neccessary to use. o.o
@Kurokami: I gave my mind what I see as Cut and as Short Version. A Cut Version is when you are not mapping the full Song and having like 20~25% of the Song empty because of various reasons. And since you HAD to cut the Song in case you're mapping less than 80% the term "Cut Ver." would fit right (and would be used right).
Other thing to Short Versions: These are complete and not cutted but still shorter as the Original Version. As Example:
http://osu.ppy.sh/s/39031 <- Short Version
http://osu.ppy.sh/s/40873 <- The full Song but since it's the Original we do not set (Full Ver.) in the Title?

@Stefan I know what is the difference between them. I just tried to point out they aren't the original full lengh songs. So we should use them in the title.
this is largely ignored as a guideline and all variants of the ver. tag in song/beatmap names look extremely poor and out of place.
accordingly, this guideline is now considered as a rule and maps that violate it henceforth are candidates for unranking.

Sorry, I don't get it. This should be reconsidered.Ephemeral wrote:

I think so as well since it indicates whether the song is short, extended, cut, full, etc.ykcarrot wrote:

Quoting this:
I don't agree with this rule neither, I agree with carrot. This should be reconsider, or just move this back as a guideline, really.mancusojuanmattos wrote:
Really, this rule is really unnecesary, Does it hurt in some way if we have 'Short ver.' in title?
I don't think so, really.
Until now no one likes the idea, you should reconsider it.Ephemeral wrote:

I agree!

Yeah, this makes little to no sense as an unrank factor.
Try this:

What do you assume when you see this? First map being full version and the second one being TV Size. Right? Well, both are TV Size, the first one was just incorrectly labeled (it's an old map).
So let me ask this: Why should we now make "short ver." and "cut ver." songs indistinguishable from full songs? Imagine there were a map for the full song; you wouldn't know at all which map was the full one.
So yes, this is a silly rule. You should instead enforce the use of labels if they aren't full songs. From what I can see, that's what's being done recently; not labeling full songs, but labeling shorter versions.

Hooray i like this song, gonna download this now~
What? its not full version/cuted? meh~
Just my 2 cents, i don't think this rule is necessary too.

There are (at least) many songs from visual novel that officially states "<song name> (Short Ver./Version)". Not allowing to put Short Ver. when it's the title of the song itself is silly imo.
I'm ok with not allowing to put Cut/Full Ver. unless it's stated in am official source.

Needs some case-by-case handling so we don't end up having to unrank a map whose title actually has an <insert> ver. as part of it.
That's already covered by the rule proposed in the OP though:
Still, it's still going to be confusing, especially when it's a popular song, to determine if the map is the full song or a cut version of it, lol. Imagine 5 maps of the same song where 3 are short while 2 are full. As a player, I'd like to know which is what.those wrote:
Conclusion: from all this, I'd like to propose a rule/guideline that will help make labeling songs more consistent. In general, simply do not add (Short Ver.) or (TV Size) if the song didn't come with it. While this may not be a big issue now, with more and more maps being labeled randomly, there will be a large inconsistency between the two.5
@CXu I don't think that we should involve old Maps in this discussion since most people didn't really cared off about the correct Title, Artist, etc.
I wonder why things like https://osu.ppy.sh/s/39031 / https://osu.ppy.sh/s/40873 or https://osu.ppy.sh/s/59569 / https://osu.ppy.sh/s/72119 having the same Name but the one is shorter/longer as the another one. Of course there are sometimes more as one version of a single Song. But how should we actually deal with these Things? The first Maps (I've named above) are technically Short Ver. of the second Maps, or did I forgot something here?

I was using that old map as an example to show how not labeling the maps would be confusing.
About the maps you linked: then enforce proper labeling of songs instead, lol. I mean, 1 label for each case instead of 1 label for like 3 cases is bound to be less confusing, right?.

Yes I agree that the rule makes no sense, and just bother people because they need to click the map to know whether it is a 1:30 version. Once I like to find short maps this way, but things changed when this comes out.
It just needs a correct usage of the labels. That's all. Sonnyc' GENTLEMAN Map as example is correct.
Just wondering, you need to actually find an official source that (Short Ver.) is used or just simply finding a full version of the song is fine? The problem with finding an offical source for the shorten mp3 is that a short ver. of a song is not always included in the OST or singles and on the official website, there is sometime no link to the mp3, simply a demo movie [=> so (Demo Ver.) then?). Also some full version to songs are extremely hard to find or not released yet (read below).
For example, I try to see if the recently unranked map because of this rule had any official source of short ver., but couldn't find any download link to mp3 on official website (like here http://puu.sh/3eYmg.png), simply demo movie and didn't see any source in particular which include short ver. I also tried to search for a full version, but couldn't find one yet (just because it doesn't exist at this point in time, doesn't mean it doesn't exist; "demo" ver. released 2010 - full ver. found on an album in 2012, two years later! Note that this happens quite frequently).
It's commonly accepted for visual novel/eroge songs to have short ver. so I'm a bit surprised by the unranked of that beatmap to be honest.
Just adding to the discussion, I would like to see this rule changed too. The only reason I've seen so far is that it's for aesthetic? Is this really the only reason? As others had mention, it really help distinguish the length of maps in beatmap listing on the website and game. I also find that the current rule relies that the mapper knows perfectly whether short ver. is in the title or not and not all mappers are aware where to search for this.
