QAT Branch Review

Disqualifications: osu!standard has fallen behind slightly due to pressures of exam season on its members, hope to renew motivation and add new members before the next cycle of probation BNs for osu! are added. osu!taiko, osu!catch and osu!mania struggled initially with new BN influx in March, but have since stabilised. DQs as a whole working as intended. Branch responsibilities now include veto mediation as set out in the new wiki article on Beatmap Vetoing.

1. The QAT is a blackbox for anyone on the outside in this regard, you throw a complaint in about a veto and maybe post on a thread, they then take this, do whatever with it and throw a verdict at you within 48h - or don't - in any case you dont know why what is reached
2. Depending on how available or unavailable (or possibly annoying) your veto gets or doesnt get processed
3. The cases in which a veto is rendered void is not described: what happens if you veto and do not attempt having a reasonable debate? If you just veto to stall beatmaps placing a veto and not attempting debate is your best bet to at least stall things and you can easily claim you got hit by <schoolwork/your job/your dying grandma> and probably get off the hook
4. Forcing a decision within 48h seems unjust provided that people that are rushed to vote will just vote something.
5. This change was implemented because undoing a veto was too hard, arguably - undoing a veto with all the mediation stuff is not only more complicated, it's also harder for the side disagreeing, because they can end up going against the entirety of the QAT for a mode
6. If the QAT agrees with a veto and you don't you can basically quit the map even if you and all 90% of the BNG think that it's okay without getting into compromises you disagree with.
7. This system discourages people from thinking for themselves and arguing for any other reason than to be as loud as possible - you dont know which of your points, if any, are considered to begin with and you have to ask the QAT to do the thinking for you anyways.

1. Get rid of the blackbox surrounding all of this
2. Provide a means to refute vetos if you disagree with the mediation
3. If you want to make the whole process more simple, simplify more? I have no idea if mappers that have been veto'd even know that they have to ask for mediation
4. While some instance having the final say on these matters is good, allow people to publicly surveil said instance to ensure that its processes are going fairly within

insane
00:01:000 (1,2) - would avoid this spacing for such a calm part of the map no it's good
01:18:241 (1,2,3,4,5,1) - this rhythm doesn't relate to the music ok i fixed it
00:05:850 (2,3,4,5) - consider changing these to be cool circles instead of uncool circles cool

hard
it's relaly good but 00:09:263 (4,5,1) - this could use more spacing. it looks like a mistake u right
