Well, well, well...
It's sad I have to tell this, but we're already reaching dead points right now. Prepareto slap my face because it's probably pure bullshit.
Enough blah.
Let's say things straight : Our mode is currently agonizing. Some people have talked about mentoring modders so they can access the BNG but I doubt it's gonna work, as (I think it will be this way) the BN will have to deal with lots of beginning modders AND lots of maps which will be even worse for them.
Of course since we, as BN, are supposed to push forward maps that we want to see ranked, we are also allowed to say no to requests. But sometimes mappers can't get any BN and will either let their mapset die or, in case of hybrids, see them gone. And that will probably enter a vicious circle to death.
The solution I can provide will be unbelievable but it has to be this: Change nothing. You'll probably throw tomatos to my face but this has to be said: There are far more Taiko modders than you might imagine, the only problem being their activity. Some modders that are already worthy of BNGsip are lazy as hell, the others are really dedicated into helping the others and will probably eventually access the Group. Don't forget that these dedicated modders may also have started in the past three months and are currently unable to apply.

So now we have the least number of BNs among four game modes. Hopefully there will be newcomers.That's the saddest thing to hear. We're probably one of the most prolific game mode, and the second oldest mode (first being, of course, osu! standard) in the game. The fact that we are the least represented with only seven active people shows the opposite of our will to get our maps ranked.
Taiko BN actually needs recruit but leave always more than incomes.And if we don't have anyone to help the situation will be worse as time passes.
It's already not one right now. Some maps are stuck already, and I foresee deletions of Taiko GD or mapsets, and some might already think about that, due to too many refusals.let's wait for the next wave firstDon't have too much hope. It won't be a solution on a long time run.
180kds isn't that muchIt is. I entered the first wave of newBAT with only 193.
Dont tell people to be more active than they possibly can.8 mods/month is still a fairly high amount (at least in Taiko and CTB) considering anything can happen real-life-wise. And that the minimal value.
However, I think that those who want to become a Taiko BN should have at least the necessary modding skills (e.g. to give constructive mods with respect to mappers' intention or style), otherwise they may not bring real benefits to the modding process.The true problem is, as qoot stated, the language barrier. I recall, at the beginning of 2014, that TKS went into the BAT despite being nowhere near fluent in English but he gave short explanations with the English he had. However, if they mod a map made from a mapper of their own country, they can still do in their native language. Otherwise, they can still try modding; even with a low baggage most mappers can still understand what they mean.
This helps to recall our current situation. Just waiting for BNs won't help here, or at least, will probably take way too much time.And as I repeatedly say (not in #taiko though) at that rate, the mode will end up dying.
Enough blah.
