pink on pink, white/gray on white/gray, heart shaped approach circles, and similarly colored hitbursts are all things I delete. They are also the only things I delete.

Storyboards are seldom annoying or lag me. I seldom delete anything.

I delete elements only when they severely interfere with playing.
Example: I can't see the cursor nor the circles properly.

But, but.... but i made black overlays/sliderborders to increase the visibility of the beats ;_;

Slightly quoting white/gray on white/gray things (this map aaaaaaaaah), but sometimes enabling/disabling video (depends on the beatmap itself) helps me play.

I delete elements only when they severely interfere with playing.

Which are heavy SB's (S_i_R_i_R_u's, for example)
Horribad skins
Heavy BG's (Mind you some of them make me drop to 30 fps, a good example is The Killers - Somedy Told Me on [Hard])
And sometimes I get rid of SB's to get into precision mode and try to FC/Clear, even though I do it very rarely

"I delete elements only when they severely interfere with playing." ...is what I chose, since it best fits my situation.

Generally, I don't delete anything - I just move them all into a new folder that I will create in the song folder.

I prefer the ouendan2 skin more than any other skin, so I usually remove the skins in the folders, as it actually bothers me if I don't see the skin. But there are exceptions, and sometimes I would leave the preset skin alone because it fits, looks good, and/or it doesn't bother me much.

I do have a strict policy though. Backgrounds showing anime girls in a somewhat seductive manner or any bg with a girl in it that I don't feel would be best for my family and others to see will be removed on sight. I maintain a PG-13 environment back home, and I don't want other people making assumptions or saying anything about me if they see a background like that while I am playing.

Anything with a halfway terrible skin gets deleted. I'll usually leave the SB and I always leave the BG.

I'll delete the elements that cause flashy scene, as well as 50/100/300 elements.

I chose the option "I play the maps as they were made" but I actually tend to avoid playing maps with high amounts of SB unless the map is actually enjoyable. (or in special cases where the SB is better than the map) *

Reasons include:
  1. Lag
  1. Distraction
  1. Custom skin elements like cursor or hitsounds.

I typically delete elements when they interfere with playing or when I need a scapegoat for doing badly on a map ~_~.
But I usually just dislike the 300,100,50 images cause typically the colors are different and I rely on the color rather than number to know what i got ;s

you can choose to have your default skin's cursor overwrite any custom one - just fyi :P

The only sb ive ever removed was in Nightcore - Jump Jump

But I put it into a new folder and then put it back because it's JUST TOO FUN TO NOT WATCH.

The SPINNER blends well to the mouse cursor (even if you change the cursor)... can't see it very well...
I can't get a higher bonuses...

BTW, I still not deleting those spinner skins even if I want to... because I still get a 300...

I delete everything in every map because it helps me a lot on increasing the fps so i can move faster, and by faster i mean more normal than a laggy retarded movement.

I'm doing this only because it helps me playing better if the computer has a better performance, i couldn't have cared less about the visual stuff if they didn't do anything to my weak computer :|

When i'll get a better computer ( i don't think it will happen soon though..) i'll stop deleting stuff.

I play the maps as they were made. Maybe because I find it too bothersome to go find the beatmap's folder and delete everything there.
When something lags me, I just wait for my computer to get "better" (restarting often helps), or just play something else. Storyboards generally don't affect me though; whenever I get lag spikes, I get them globally, and I can get through any skin pretty much fine (except of course if it's an horribly horrible skin, but I don't recall any, probably because I don't play as much anime as everyone else).

I think the map will be tedious~~~

maybe it will let me make more "miss" when I'am playing.

Maps should be played as they were meant to be. The only exception I would make is if it's as flashy as that map James made a while ago.

You can delete custom skins? I did not even know you could do that. Some custom skins really kill me. I guess I play them as they are meant to be.

Also yeah I know peppy keeps saying SB lags aren't supposed to happen but, truth is, they do.

When it come to disturb my gameplay, no doubt I will delete it immediately. As a player, I prefer more score than art

Delete elements on a regular basis. I've been playing on black backgrounds on other rhythm games and I still prefer to keep it that way.

Deleting storybaords, backgrounds and skins is possible due to the currently open nature of beatmaps. Without getting into a debate over what is right or wrong, I would like to know the general ratio of people who do this -- mainly to reinforce my beliefs that the number isn't as high as some people think.

If you make a post starting any kind of debate it will be removed.

If you choose the last option, providing examples of maps is highly encouraged!

No video is perma on.

Only thing that really bothers me are some of the custom skins. I prefer my own skin most of the time ;)

I delete backgrounds when they are suggestive or borderline-NSFW as I play osu! in my living room.

Hell no !
If anything, I add a custom skin, video, or SB to maps that deserve it. No deleting things here, unless they make maps REALLY unplayable.

I've only ever deleted HORRIBLY distracting SBs, such as ones that move around, which can REALLY be bad on taiko, and a skin that just made playing painful, because it was half transparent.

Say for example - Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane has a annoying strobing effect which annoys me. I had to delete the flashing.

Same applied to Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone

Maybe there should be a rule to not use these types of strobing..for anyone!!
