Before I go, here is a sample of what I suggested in the pm:

I propose to reword the rule to clarify what is considered "obscene" and resolve the contradiction. The following is a simplified version of the Miller Test altered to include violence and drug use. All three conditions have to be satisfied for something be considered obscene:
  1. It can be argued that that the work, taken as a whole, encourages or promotes sexual, violent, or drug related interests
  2. The work depicts or describes ideas/concepts in an offensive manner
  3. The work, taken as a whole, lacks literary, artistic, political, or scientific value
The new rule would remove "This includes nudity, near-nudity, sexual references, violence, drug abuse, etc. Keep things PG (suitable for ages 12+)" and instead better define what is considered obscene:
There must not be any obscene imagery in the background/storyboard/video content. Images should be on a level that can be displayed on all-audience TV, on public signage, and of nature that does not require censoring in any country. Imagery is considered obscene if all of the following three are true:
  1. The work, taken as a whole, encourages or promotes sexual, violent, or drug related interests
  2. The work depicts or describes ideas/concepts in an offensive manner
  3. The work, taken as a whole, lacks literary, artistic, political, or scientific value
[/quote]

This is a long way shorter than the huge list of examples the muscle bird is proposing in the proposed ranking criteria change. See if you can shoot some bullets at this meanwhile.
Aiseca
If Ephemeral's proposal passes through, this will send a very huge change on the current written rules and possibly break the trends that was happening connected by this issue.

Also, I can see most people would oppose this (you know because: Loli and edgy reasons)

You're baiting drama for no particular reason.

You're not trying to help anything or anyone with what you're doing from what I can see. What is the purpose other than your private amusement and if there is any do you really think that this was the correct way to handle it?

i don't see how simple banter with someone who was insulting the entire community while being a gianf hypocrite is being immature :p

you're taking this too seriously, i think that is an immature thing. so far you're the only person in like 1 thousand who've seen the argument and thought that i was at fault or being immature here. maybe it's some bias from past times? who knows!

Map being veto'd for having diffname of "Mama Mia!". Some say it's related to the song, some don't.

So we're fucking vetoing over a fucking difficulty name that is legit with the song?

Well there goes every single one of my maps, now and into the future. Looks like Critical Hit is never going to get fucking ranked. /shrug

I'd be extremely surprised if they didn't allow the top diff of your map to be called "Critical Hit!" on a song called "Critical Hit"

I haven't been active in the mapping scene for a while, so I don't know if they've massively changed any of the rules, but if it's the same as before then you'll be fine.

I mean, I'd be surprised too, and I'd ultimately quit mapping tbh. This nonsensical bullshit of BNs disagreeing with one small little thing when everything else is perfectly fine, and then vetoing over it is literally fucking stupid.

God knows what happens if I end up finishing the 2 hour map project.

but a fucking difficulty name? if it's really not relevant then yeah, but if it's atleast recognizable then like bruh moment
Ashton
Thankfully it looks like a lot of BNs are disagreeing with them.

Being this bothered by a diffname is kind of ridiculous. It does nothing to deter the quality of the map and was even proven to have some resemblance to the song.

I honestly believe a diffname can be whatever the fuck it wants to be as long as it isnt breaking any rule. Its the top diff of a set, it is allowed to have a custom name. It gives the mapper creative liberty that, again, doesn’t do anything to the quality of the map.

They should decide to stop the mediation so the set can get on its way, but regardless of all of the negative output they have received, they wish to still continue with the mediation?? At this point they are just trying to waste the mappers time, as well as all of the people who have to sift through the entire shitwad of a conversation to give their vote on the veto mediation.

The veto has been dismissed and the map is moving forward with the ranking section. I'm glad it wasn't drawn out long, but disappointed it happened in the first place.

Ranking Criteria has a lot of things yet to be abused. Tho it requires effort to abuse them, so good luck.

Also kinda feels ranked is getting to the point its obvious it will be in eternal state of turmoil so long as there are people involved with choosing which maps get to ranked and which dont. People have been fixing issues with ranked since the MAT. You would think 10 years is enough time to figure out how to make something that cant be abused. Making systems requiring people's trust will eventually fail. What's most disappointing is that it's considered a working system. I consider it a barely working system if you need to change role structure every 2-3 years or introduce regular fixes to prevent people from abusing their privilege.
Ashton
Can you stop preaching that bullshit abraker?

No system that is not run by people is going to fix the ‘constant turmoil’ or whatever... its actually not a problem in standard mode anymore and the system works fairly well. If anything its a mania exclusive problem. Because you seem to be one of the very few people complaining about lack of variety in ranked section.

There are only a few instances where bns/nat make stupid decisions which cause a big ruckus but because of things like veto mediation they usually don’t make it through anyways.

I dont want to have another 3 hour long conversation with you because you can never seem to get it. Weren’t you working on making that proposal for a new catagory? Work on that instead of shitting on a system that you don’t like yet not offering any other viable alternative.
Topic Starter

Yea you can defend ranked all you want. However you cant deny that that there is still ongoing effort to prevent abuse. Recent effort to fix veto abuse is one example. Last restructure was when QAT got changed to NAT. I bet ranked roles will go through another restructuring in about a year and a half.

honestly i kind of don't really care at this point. the mapping and player community are really divided on certain things imo

The ranked system will always be changing and improvements will always be made. You keep blaming it and calling it bad but you have not once suggested a viable alternative.

The fundamental ranking process will never change and has never changed. Yes, teams got restructured, roles got mismatched, and vetos got reworked. But your map will always need real people to push it forward and there will always be the option for real people to keep it back. This has been the case since the creation of osu! (One could argue the early years didn't have vetos and almost any map was pushed forward but that is no longer relevant...). If anything, small changes will occur, but your problem with the system will never be fixed no matter how many changes it goes through.

The people in charge of ranking maps are not paid. Nobody is entitled to BN's. This will never change for as long as the ranking process exists. The only option to 'fix' this is to move to an automated system. Which already has several issues. And it's never going to happen.

The 'issue' of there not being enough variety in ranked mania maps is one that can not be solved with a system reform. I have said this dozens of times yet you keep on acting as if it is an issue caused by the system. That isn't the case. It's an 'issue' that is the result of the low population of mania mappers and modders. If you want to push your 'interesting' and 'unique' maps forward then stop complaining and (like I said before...) become a mania BN yourself or push forward your own maps. Help the community by modding a ton.

If you aren't motivated to do it, then who else do you have to blame besides you? Nobody.

soon...

I also have to agree with Ashton, since this game requires users to make it's content, those users have the ability to shape the content to what they desire. If abraker wants different kinds of content, then abraker needs to push and approve of content that he wants.

Until a self-taught viable AI is produced, we rely on user manpower and their desires.
Topic Starter
abraker
Ashton, you are arguing that ranked must continue as it is because things like having maps checked for ranked is necessary. It is indeed necessary for ranked that maps continue to be checked. I don't think it would be ranked otherwise. You are describing ranked as a functional system, which it is for what it is. If it's considered normal that there is a restructuring every certain time period, then ranked can also be considered functioning properly.

Tho I'll admit it's hard to make a suggestion for a alternative system in which people don't actively making decisions. It's harder to understand how that can work and not break. So I wouldn't expect a formal suggestion until I have evidence that it can work. I can give an informal one if anyone is curious tho.

@q9za you don't need AI to figure out which maps are good or not. You can take advantage of community's passive behavior to do that instead.
Ashton
Finally you realize now that ranked is a functioning system and no amount of complaining will fix your own individual problem of not wanting to put effort into your maps to get them ranked. Thank you

How much BNs did you end up asking?

Your map seems like one some will be interested in. Pimp and Andrea are the first ones that come to mind but its a clean map with an old mapping style and some bns love maps like that

But yeah, even if youve already asked every single bn and they all said they arent interested youd need to wait for new ones to come in. Its really shitty that is the case but its not like we can start forcing bns to nominate maps they arent onterested in even if they are solid

I actually asked pimp, since he's my friend, but he would only bubble if I found a second BN. Every single BN's profile I have looked at, ~70% of them they don't mod tech, or just prefer anime music over anything. I think I overall asked ~5 BNs, and they all just said no.

I have one more BN I can ask but right now I'm not in the grandest of moods to even do something like this, and they are currently closed so I can either wait (that and I need to wait for my new headphones to come in...) or I can just hope a BN in the future can look at the map and give it some thought.

Seriously, trying not to offend the BN team here but goddamn it's really annoying to find the right person, especially when they're all closed.

Don't take my word for it but honestly I wouldn't consider critical hit a tech map. If it is one, it's a very soft one because I think tech refers to the mapping style moreso than the song.
