I was discussing this in #kroean... and got some interesting questions.
What if the mapper's username is related to a difficulty? for example, Fast, Death, etc.
Will they be able to use their username as a diff name?
If not, wouldn't that be unfair because other people get to use 'Fast' or 'Death' as their diff name but they don't?
the answer can literally be found in peppy's post last pageColdTooth wrote:

yes it is allowed, if it is the hardest diff in the mapsetpeppy wrote:
Okay then here's my only compromise: You can name the highest difficulty something tastefully different from the rest under the following conditions:
It can't be a username, or anything related to a username.
The other difficulties should make sense in an increasing scale way, as previously discussed.
My goal here is to avoid the difficulty name becoming a way of determining the mapper. This is an unintended use and I will never stand for it.
I think it should be fine? Play of the normal difficulty names still show the level of difficultyLuna wrote:

As long as the difficulty name makes sense (ie: Normal/Hard/Insane/Death), then I say this would be okay.No Dap wrote:

It's only related to his previous username.

Does this mean that if I want to give all my Extras the same name (i.e. I name all my Extras [Origin] and have a regular ENHI spread besides that) it's still against the rules, because that way you can determine that it was me mapping that diff? It wouldn't be related to my username, but it would still be something I do consistently, so in the end it'd be the same thing as [0108] or [Rin]. This question would mostly apply to difficulties like [Nogard], everybody knows it's BD's difficulty, but I don't see how it's related to his username.peppy wrote:

seriously.
I think that this will make a lot of people happier! It sounds like a fair compromise.peppy wrote:

I guess you're talking about https://osu.ppy.sh/s/128554 . Well, shouldn't be ranked because it's not related to the username nor to the song. I am not sure how this works with cases like https://osu.ppy.sh/s/44750 : when the hardest Difficulty is related to the song title.Tess wrote:
What about diffs like tutuhaha's "Dance"? They aren't related to his username, but when I see [Dance] I know it's a tutuhaha Extra. How would that work?
He didn't say it has to be related to the song title, though.Stefan wrote:

Now, I guess you could say that "Dance" became related to his username because he uses it in the same way as [0108], but that would basically mean that you're not allowed to use the same diff name for two Extras, regardless of whether it's related to your username or not (because if you always use the same diff name for your Extras, it still becomes a way of identifying you). I was just asking for clarification on this matter, it'll probably just be that things like [Dance] wouldn't be allowed for tutuhaha, but wouldn't that be taking it a bit far?peppy wrote:

I agree, but I feel like that rule still isn't very clear, and that can only lead to (unnecessary) problems in the future, since users will just start arguing about what it means while nobody actually knows, since it was never defined. It doesn't mention anything about repetitive custom difficulty names unrelated to the mapper's nickname, that are still a way to identify the mapper. I already mentioned tutuhaha's [Dance], but I recall Kyshiro using repetitive custom diff names for an entire set (Fine, Superior, Exquisite, Epic). Those became unrankable since it's (apparently) not very clear which difficulty is which, but if a mapper came up with four rankable custom diff names that they use in all their sets, that would also be a way of identifying the mapper.silmarilen wrote:

Use your common sense
I doubt it gets troublesome if the user "Lunatic" calls hid hardest difficulty "Lunatic".
There is also the user "Hard". Don't worry about that.
How is a very hard Difficulty related to the name how it's getting called?Chloe wrote:
you must know some diffs were made for only a few pros and they can know it well, the true reason we used it is not for let more players know us and we become famous since something like creator's name/Skystar's xxx is enough.
we just,
"uh, this is my best work"
"uh, I was so satisfied with it"
so there'd be Rin/0108/Skystar
will be sad to see those difficulty names go as well known and established they areChloe wrote:

Following this, I'm going to amend the rule's wording (at the end considering Marathon maps).peppy wrote:
