My best guess would be they wanted to show the people who passed how things work and work on getting them ready before worrying about the people who failed.Nofool wrote:
How come existing BNs received feedback instantly after the test even tho they passed while applicants that failed still did not receive anything ? Some great modder/mapper japanese applicant got a shitty score probably because he has some issue with english and none pmed him after that, he surely has more chances next time yeah. I guess so loctav/ztrot chosed to give their feedback only to some specific people they know then ? Staff showing its incredible organization again
Is the test itself not translated for priority languages (Japanese specifically for taiko)? If not I'm sure this is something that could be done to improve the situation so long as someone knowledgable on English and Japanese were to help with this.Nofool wrote:
Now if anyone's gonna tell something like "well if your english is bad you should not be BN" yo wake up something like 80% of the taiko community are japanese players/mappers that can't necessarily talk in english. Like if having some more specific country BNs would be a bad thing (that's just an example).
Of course people need to mod a lot to apply or else what would be the point of them joining the BN? The 3 checks per month once you have actually joined is perfectly reasonable as people doing this are volunteers and have things come up in their lives, this is the exact reason that there is an aim for more BN's, which is being accomplished by finding the people who have interest in modding and show it prior to joining the BN.Nofool wrote:
Also if you can't see what is true in my previous post, to apply for BN you must have done tons of mods during the last 3 months, meanwhile once you are BN you can keep the title for like 3 check per months or even less. legit
anyways Nofool, if you don't have the enough activity, why do you want to join the BNG?Nofool wrote:
aight here is a serious post without hostility, this surely will be ignored![]()
- I do think anyone should get a chance to be BN even if they can't speak english correctly (especially the japaneses in taiko since they represent a huge part of the community) => the test should be translated for them. Having specific country BNs won't divide the community, after getting a check from their specific BN they will sometimes need to contact an english speaker BN. This should end up in more people learning english for the sake of their maps being ranked, adding to the fact that we get overall more ranked maps anyways (which is the purpose of all of this isn't it??).
so, people from south america should ask for spanish translation? No, I support Raiden, english is very important to become Nominator.
no i didn't fail the test once again... i could not even try it and i don't exactly know why :/
well I fail the test on ctb, I'm modding ctb around 4 months ago and I got 67 points, I know that feel, when I was Taiko modder, I tried two times but Loctav/ztrot/QATs never give me the opportunity to take the test, this and TNA gave me a reason to leave Taiko. Lot of people know about the quality of your mods and the knownledge you have at taiko, so I understand why you are upset, but there is something true:Surono wrote:
fun fact, mostly the new BNs is rarely active and had limited to reqs.. dem Except Volta?
Encouraging language barriers seems nonsensical? Like if some Japanese BN wants to rank some English-speaker mapset and they can't communicate properly chances are stuff just goes wrongNofool wrote:

- We should know how active we need to be to have a chance to become BN => write somewhere (and put a link on the application sheet about it) how the system works considering your actual number of kudosu, your number of mods/month etc. You know what ? With this you reduce the number of applicants to only those who are active enough.
i was refused 2 times for low activity (maybe, i don't even know) with more than 100kd and 5 mods/month while some BNs get away with 3 mods/month.
Like who??Nofool wrote:
- Anyone who tried the test should get feedbacks about his result... this is pretty obvious, why only some of them did get it?? It's not too late, you can still contact people by the way.
Oh you're complaining about me actively modding and not mainly modding the test I signed up for? Why does it seem wrong to take modding activity for a modding test? Anyone who mods more than one mode could take all his activity and everyone who just mods taiko can take all their activity as well and do the ctb test, if they want to. I signed up for the test because as I am a nominator already, mainly for standard (i guess you noticed that already) but do play and somewhat mod taiko as well I wasn't sure if i should just start taking care of taiko sets because I didn't know how confident I'm supposed to be in my abilities. I figured taking the test to see the outcome would be the best solution if i should carry on with nominating this mode.Nofool wrote:
^ 3 main points, now im salty because looking at his mods/checks, it seems that this okorin guy used his standart activity stats to get the test, while it was about people being proificient in other modes. . . blabla specific BNs don't exist, then why do we have applications only for specific mods?? this is another issue that should be fixed but well..
If only they willOkorin wrote:
I hope the people who didn't pass take the time to get the feedback that Loctav / ztrot and probs MMzz offer, It'll greatly increase their chances of passing next time
Maybe take the time to read what you just quoted, i literally wrote in it why this will in the end encourage people to actually learn english.. If some japanese BN wants to rank english-speaker's mapset then he has a reason to learn english lol. You even wrote it yourself rofl. When you say "something goes wrong" you need to add clear reasons, else it shows how low is your reasoning.Okorin wrote:

"outdated" alright you just wrote why we can ignore that comment thanks mate next time please don't waste your time. Also i suggested them to add this in the application sheet as something easily understandable instead of having some part of it everywhere on the forum.Okorin wrote:
1. Make a local copy of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... 1417258688
2. Go to candidate Sheet
3. Enter Total kds after mods and the monthly mods
4. see the mod score
Idk if the threshhold for this is 1200 still or 1100, if it's 1100 the coloring is wrong but like this doesn't matter much
How the modscore formular works is explained in t/259742 (the principle is still in effect somewhat i guess just the general procedure is outdated, we could use a new post indeed
The difference between us is that i know a bit the taiko community, i know a lot of applicants who failed, i talked to them, but it seems like you don't know much about that lol. However the fact that you know nothing about this is pretty interesting. Scores from all applicants should be made public since right now we don't even have a public proof that you guys passed the test.Okorin wrote:
Like who??
You're way too vague with this or if this is the case and since they offered that for everyone who got a result back iirc.
Alright man, if i ask you how many pp you have in taiko, do you answer me the addition of your standart and taiko pp? Now you might be able to see what is wrong in your reasoningOkorin wrote:

You should put your paranoia and "I am all the victim here" aside. I am not releasing names and scores due to privacy reasons. If said candidates want to reveal the PM I sent to them, giving them their test results, by themselves, they are free to do that. We only give feedback to those who explicitely ask for it. The last round fell flat a bit, but we also didn't test our current BNs with it. It is not feasible to give exhaustive feedback to every single individual, due to the sheer mass of applicants. Applicants receive in their Result PM a notification that they are free to sign up for appointments with us, so we can give them feedback.Nofool wrote:

And yes almost none (actually i know only one who managed to get feedbacks and he tried hard for it apparently) got any feedbacks if you want to know, some of them even tried to ask the staff and got no answer. I don't think it is written anyweher that applicanst will get feedbacks etc, that's why i suggest staff to give feedbacks to all of them equally..
I am unable to determine any viable suggestion. You just say that they don't actively mod taiko. But they are an active part of the modding scene. That's all we seek for when initially checking activity. And apparantly, they have the sufficient proficiency to also look over taiko, based on the test results they received (best of all applicants, across all game modes and test rounds ever). So what? Do they occupy a slot? There is no limit in how many Taiko BNs we have. We only have so few because no one knows what they are doing. They are a Taiko BN now. Did that influence the other applicants in their chances to become one, too? Did they fill a rare slot of Taiko BNGship? No. There is no cap in how many Taiko BNs we have, everyone got their test judged individually and everyone had the same passing threshold (70/100 points). I would have been more than glad if 15 people would have passed the test, they would all be part of the BNG now. Your entire complaint is baseless, because they are active and they know what they do. Maybe they mod more standard than taiko, but I am sure you will get over that.Nofool wrote:
