1. New Maps
   All maps that have been newly uploaded will now be placed in Modding Discussion.
2. Old Maps
   A staff member has to move the mapset manually to Modding Discussion. Ephemeral is currently in charge of transferring mapsets. All existing maps in WIP and pending that don't have any mod posts in the forum have been converted across.
3. Returning to the old modding system
   It is no longer possible to return to the old modding system. The only maps that may use the old system are those with mod posts. If maps already use Modding Discussion, the forum thread will not have a reply button. Instead, it will replaced with a button that redirects to the Modding Discussion panel.

1. Through new.ppy.sh:
   Click Discussion on the Beatmap page.
   
   Beatmap information page on the new website

   
2. Through osu.ppy.sh:
   Clicking Modding/Discussion on the Beatmap's page will take you to the page if it's currently in the Modding Discussion system.

Information Section

1. Mode Selection
   Changes the game mode between osu! Standard, Taiko, Catch, and Mania. Only modes the mapset has a difficulty for will show up.
2. Beatmap Page / Difficulty Selection
   Clicking on the Artist/Title of the map will take you back to the Beatmap Information page.
   You can select a difficulty to mod using the dropdown menu. The numbers that appear beside the difficulty name is the number of pending discussions it currently has to resolve. Make sure you are on the correct difficulty before submitting mods to the map!
   Difficulty Menu

   
3. Modding Status
   All of the mods below are for the selected difficulty. Clicking any of these will show the specific mods in the timeline and in the Discussion section.
   Mine: Mods you have contributed.
   Resolved: Mods the mapper has responded to and marked as resolved.
   Pending: Mods that haven't been replied to or marked as resolved.
   Praises: Mods that have been submitted as a Praise
   All: Every Suggestion, Problem, and Praise posted on the map's difficulty and the mapset's general section.
4. Modding Timeline
   Displays all of the mods made for the difficulty that has a timestamp. Clicking on these will take you down to the mod posted at that current time.

Map Status

1. Map Creator
   The mapper who submitted the beatmap. It also shows the submission date and the date the map was updated last.
2. Watch/Unwatch
   This replaces map subscription. You can track the map's status and open issues. You can access this page via the website's Home Page by clicking on modding watchlist located near the top of the page.
3. Hype Train
   Similar to the old Star Priority system. A user can submit a Hype comment to the beatmap and it will add to the map's Hype Train. Note that the mapper can't Hype up their own map. Hype must be done in the General (All Difficulties) section to add Hype. It will not work through the General or the Timeline tabs. Players must now play through a difficulty in the beatmapset in order to add Hype to a Beatmap.
4. Nomination
   Once a map has accumilated 5 Hype, the map is eligible for Nomination. This works as it did with the old modding system. The map requires 2 nominations by the Beatmap Nominators to move into the qualified state.

Mod Submission Field

1. Mod Section Submission
   This is what section of the map you will be submitting your concerns and suggestions to.
   General (all difficulties): General issues with the map such as metadata and general discussion on the mapset as a whole. You can also add Hype to a beatmap here by posting a comment with Hype.
   General: General issues with the difficulty such as map settings and general discussion on the specific difficulty.
   Timeline: Issues at certain points in the map. Must contain a timestamp. The majority of mods will end up in this section.
   History: Shows when issues were marked as resolved. You can click on any issue to jump to the post.
   History

   
2. Modding Field
   This is where you type your mod. If you use the Timeline section, you must include a timestamp in the post. The first timestamp placed will be the timestamp shown in the Discussion section. The General sections do not require timestamps, but may include them.
3. Similar Post Warning
   If your timestamp submitted through the Timeline section is close to another mod already posted, you will have to confirm that the mod doesn't address the issue you are currently submitting. Please check the discussion field before checking the box!
4. Mod Type
   This is where you submit your mod. You can choose between Note, Hype, Praise, Suggestion, or Problem. Each is fairly self-explanatory. Clicking on this will submit your mod. If you made any mistake or need to make an edit to your mod, find the post in the Discussion section.. You can add Hype to the Beatmap by submitting Hype in the General (All Difficulties) section. Notes have also been added for the mappers so they can post reminders on their mapsets.
5. Pin
   It's there, but I don't know how it works exactly. I'm guessing it pins a message to the top of the posts, maybe only for BNs?

Mod Discussion Field

1. Functions
   Sort By: Discussions can be sorted by creation time or last update in the general sections and date or timeline in the Timeline section.
   Collapse/Expand All and the ^ arrow: These will show/hide posts.
   Thumbs Up/Down: Like/Dislike the mod. Everyone but the mod submitter can use this. Thumbs up will now give the modder Kudosu! on Suggestions and Problems.
   Timeline: Shows the timestamp the issue addresses. Only available in the Timeline section.
   MAPPER icon: Displays responses/submissions from the user who made the mapset.
   permalink, edit, delete: Permalink grabs a direct link to the post. Edit allows the submitter to edit their submission. Delete allows the submitter to remove their submission.
   Respond: Reply to the submission. Pressing Enter or clicking Reply afterwards will submit your response.
   Mark as Resolved: The mapper may select this when the issue has been addressed and either accepted or denied.
   Reopen a Discussion: If the submission needs further discussion, the mapper or mod submitter may reopen the submission by responding and unchecking Resolved.

• -Reminders-

1. Submit your map through Stable (Latest), Beta, or Cutting Edge to use Modding Discussion. Fallback submits to the old system.
2. Choose the correct mode and difficulty you wish to mod!
3. Select the proper section you are submitting your mod to.
4. Only post ONE issue at a time. Do not submit multiple issues in a single post!
5. The Timeline section requires at least one timestamp before you can submit your post.
6. Check to see if the issue has already been addressed when the similar post warning pops up.
7. Do you like the map? Give it some Hype in the General (All Difficulties) section to increase the amount of Hype on the Hype Train. This helps the map move closer to nomination.
8. Be sure to vote on suggestions or problems, as they now award Kudosu! to mappers.
   -Tips-
9. You can filter the mods by using the buttons on the Map Information's Mod Status. You can for example, look at only pending posts.
10. You can edit or delete your posts if you submitted a post and found a mistake.
11. As the mapper, you may reopen any previously resolved issue by responding to the post and unchecking Resolved.
12. You can edit your Beatmap description by using the mapset's page. Click on the edit icon in the top right of the description field.

1. Select the proper game mode at the top of the map's page you wish to mod (Standard, Taiko, Catch, Mania)
2. Select the difficulty you wish to mod in the drop down menu. (Easy, Normal, Hard, Insane, etc)
3. Select the section you wish to post your mod in (General (all difficulties), General, or Timeline)
4. Type your mod out in the discussion field. Use a timestamp if you are using the Timeline section. One issue per post!
5. Select the type of mod you are making (Praise, Suggestion, Problem)

1. Hype
   Hype is used to help push maps forward to nomination like how Star Priority was previously used. Once a mapset has received 5 Hype, it becomes eligible for Nomination. Please note the following:
   Each user has a limited supply of hype (3 per 7 days) Each hype have their own individual reset periods. You'll get one hype back 7 days after using it.
2. Nomination
   Nomination is similar to the old system. A map must receive 2 nominations from two Beatmap Nominators before being automatically moved to the qualification stage. Maps must have all Suggestions and Problems resolved before it can be ranked. BN/QAT now can reset nominations by posting a problem in the discussion field.
3. Kudosu!
   Giving a thumbs up to a suggestion or problem in the discussion field will earn the modder Kudosu!. The amount of thumbs up received determines how much Kudosu! the modder earns. Any user besides the poster can thumbs up any post. Note you can only use 60 thumbs up per hour.
   1 Thumbs Up -> 1 Kudosu!
   2 Thumbs Up -> 2 Kudosu!
   5 Thumbs Up -> 3 Kudosu!

1. How do I edit my beatmap description with Modding Discussion?
   You can edit your beatmap description on the new site by either submitting your map and editing it like the past, or you may simply edit it at any time by clicking on the edit icon in the top right of the description field in the mapset's page.
2. Will I be able to mod with the older system after Modding Discussion releases?
   You should mod with the system the mapper has chosen. If they focus on Modding Discussion, mod with Modding Discussion. Otherwise your mod may go unnoticed.
3. I don't like Modding Discussion! How do go back to the older system?
   Modding Discussion is now live. There is no way to return to the older system. Welcome to the future. However, old maps with mods may still use the old modding system.

Its now default for all maps submitted, even with latest stable.
Also why isn't this get pinned, it's very useful.

1. You can use Sinnoh's method, or the beatmap thread option in the editor to quickly access V1.
2. Fallback doesn't upload to V2 still.
3. https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/watches is a thing found on https://osu.ppy.sh/home
4. It's basically a subscribe feature. Good for tracking your own maps, or maps you've modded.
5. Maps need 12 Hype for the nomination button to appear: https://puu.sh/yeJwV.png This replaces Star Priority completely.
6. Hype can only be obtained through the General (All Difficulties) tab. The General and the Timeline tabs do not add Hype.
7. All maps submitted before the update to stable will be using MV2, while older maps may still use the old system. Not sure how this affects maps submitted on Fallback.

Updated with a tiny bit of Kudosu! info. If anyone knows more info, feel free to post.

Unconfirmed, seems like more votes give more Kudosu!. 1 = 1 2/3 = 2 and like 5 = 3

Cooldown seems to be about an hour for votes.

So why I need any kudosu now if I have hype?

I have a question, if a new map releases about a few weeks ago, but it breaks the ranking criteria by breaking the 5 min drain time rule, and only having 3 min, and 1 diff, it should go to loved, as the community loves the map, then, without kudosu, how will it get into loved? Maybe shift it to 100 Hype? But than it would make kudosu completely worthless. Make it have a kudosu system? But how will it recognize if the map is going for loved? That's my concern, hope i'll get an answer!
