Derekku Chan : I was thinking more of a team that fills in the blank of the 2 teams so far.
If the BAT were meant to approve. Global Mods were meant for the forums. The team for helping to mod would fit in pretty well right? I know the community can do a lot of work to help but we could use a little support with the ranking process. Even though I think its going much faster than before. This will prevent any future build-ups for sure.

also...if the team is created can I join? =o

EDIT: The team could have the ability to raise SP by like 5 or something =o

K, here's your beatmap modding team:

Beatmap Modding Team:

Anyone who isn't a BAT

I even made a guide on how to mod, and if someone has time to map they have time to mod, so no excuses, guys.

This.

You don't need more BATs to mod, you need more regular players to test drive your map.

More regular players' modding also helps someone's map.
It can consider everyone's hope :3
Anyway...

BMT seems good :3

Everyone with 5 or more ranked maps is now a BAT.

orly?


I think that's slightly prejudice towards all the beatmappers. Ranked beatmaps only show that they seem to get more attention than most people and popularity shouldn't be a major issue when being a BAT.

You seem to think that everyone must have the same skills when it comes to beatmapping in order to make the assumption that more ranked maps = more popular

but there's also this to consider: some people need between 0 and 4 corrections to have a map ranked. Others need between 40 and 50.

Back to the 5+ ranked == bat, this would imply the better you are at beatmapping, the faster you become a bat, and isn't this what we want anyway? Good people? Or at least persistent people.

Well, yeah, but most users pull out suggestions I disagree with, and they are small (clap here, new combo), so that's why I said that. Since I'm trying to get my priority up now, I can't avoid those horrible nazis. I was mainly referring to major issues. ;o

No question, of course I'd love to end up being a BAT. I mean, that probably wont happen for a really, REALLY long time, but if I can ever become one, but it's definitely something for me to strive for. I love listening to other people's favorite songs, what can I say, I'm a music lover =D, and I can't run out of ideas to make a song fun to play and watch. Not to mention, the thought of being able to help out others with their own color-struck song-based designs is something I could really get into. Like watching a person's dream develop into reality before your very eyes...

maybe someday karma (or whatever you prefer to believe, I'll use karma for now) will return the favor.

But yeah i think i got what it takes (from the stuff in the first post anyways) however i'm still improving in all aspects since i strive to being better than what i am learning from my errors on my maps and modding ^^ hope someday i can get to be one so yeah ^^ i'll keep trying

Mod maps in Help and Pending, the way other mods mod them. Take the initiative and show us you can mod.
Create your own maps and get them ranked. Not only does this show that you have dedication to your work, you will also learn valuable tricks and tips which you can pass on when modding.
Chat on IRC (in-game chat). We'll get to know you better, which in turn makes it more likely for us to promote you. A cheerful, bright personality with a good sense of humour helps.
Don't ask, complain or rave on about how good you are, how many posts you've made, or how you've worked so hard and are still not a BAT. If we haven't approached you to become a BAT, you're probably not doing something right, be it modding or behaviourwise (ie. learn to internet). Put yourself in our shoes; would you want to promote someone who keeps whining?

I just want BATs can mod more for mapper.

I would like to be a BAT
I'm online on osu almost all the days (except tuesday and thursday, 'cause I'm at my mom's house and there is no internet DX)

and I would like to make faster this thing of approve beatmaps

sometimes I find good beatmaps at pending list.

and one question: is obligatory a beatmap have a background?
'cause at pendind list has some beatmaps without background

Even if a map includes a video/storyboard, it should still include a background for the song selection screen.

If you'd like to strive to become a BAT, then (as others have said) mod maps in pending/help like other experienced modders/BAT do, and perhaps one day a dream will become a reality. :P

Also, creating your own maps and getting them ranked/approved is essential, as well. P:

Would responsibility and equality to all mapppers and not to just to your friends/someone you know included in the rules? It seem these day, I saw like MAT/BAT prioritize friends before touching someone who they didn't even know personally in life or in game

Yeah... this thread is pretty outdated. BATs are no longer chosen the same way they were in 08/09. Now, they are chosen from MATs that show substantial modding expertise. Thus, please see the Think you've got what it takes to be a MAT? thread for more up-to-date information.
