just a quick reminder - fmn is popular only because it is 16*, is a meme and a certain player tryharded it. Almost no one plays it unironically.
Architecture is another case where popularity got upped by broken rating and spam parts.
We want to focus on actually ambitious and well-made popular maps rather than memes, for all skill ceilings.
And well, Project Loved is supposed to fill the gap Ranked system and RC created in f.e. competitiveness or chart diversity. However, one factor isn't often enough - we don't choose great maps with 0 favs as well as mediocre maps with 100 favs. There are some standards which cannot be ignored.
howdy! lol i see about the purpose of project loved. but ambitious and well-made? lol this was the funniest comment 2018, beyond 'please don't evaluate this map with starrating, but with its quality'
So we should promote overrated maps which are a spamfest? Is that what you are saying? If not, sorry for misunderstanding.
Quality is important. What is funny in that? Do you like playing bad maps with lots of minijacks and senseless/random structure? Or maps made only for high star rating in a flawed system where you can FC 8* maps but fail 5* maps?
We are trying to find a middle grounds and reach consensus about what kind of maps should we push into Loved. Not everyone will like each map and this is perfectly fine, but bombing mapsets that aren't catering to a specific group of people seems just not fair. Please judge sv maps, ln maps, hard maps, easy maps, stamina maps separately, and not with the mindset "i hate 7k so lol downvoted" or "wtf stepmania rejected". I hope it doesn't happen but just wanted to say it anyway.
