ok ok you're talking about suggestive bg, yeah i don't think it should be on maps without an explicit marker but on maps that have one, it's not a big deal imo
If the BG is inappropiate for the song, let alone suggestive theme at the first place, it can be a problem due to visual considerations.
This thread is redundant.

The rules of the game say the following:
These rules are enforced on a case-by-case basis. Please read the VCC article as well as the Content voting process article, linked both in the VCC article and by Ryu Sei in this very thread, to further inform yourself about the process.
So, what exactly do you want to change? BGs that are deemed too sexual are already inherently unrankable because they break the rules of the game. As for punishment:

Be honest how well do you think this rule is enforced, especially when the staff are talking about a "too scary" bg for the recent halloween event suggesting that the younger demographic of players are like 10
That's why there is content review. Besides people can just report the offending map and let the mods nuke it if the map's background isn't changed.
It's not a guaranteed method since this one relies on user report, rather than automated unless I'm wrong.

Just to clarify here, explicit tag only applies to song content, and not backgrounds, videos, diff names, etc as those are things that can be changed to fit within osu's general rules. So an inappropriate background is still not allowed on maps containing the explicit tag.dPeace wrote:

The rule is enforced. Usually a background gets to content review by the time a BN comes to check the map, and if not, they're often reported while in the qualified stage or self-reported by mappers who are unsure if it's borderline or not to undergo content review.adim2222 wrote:

If the background directly goes against osu's visual content considerations, then yes, the mapper will be asked to change it or risk their map being deleted. Similar to Ryu Sei and lewski, I'm not exactly sure what it is you're wishing to change here since the issue you mentioned already has a set procedure to deal with it.
yes i know about the real purpose for explicit tags, i just feel like if you're already using an explicit song then you should be allowed to use explicit bg too, like the website even hide all explicit maps's bg currently if you don't wanna see explicit map so i don't understand why it's gonna be an issue (unless the bg is literal porn or sth).Protastic101 wrote:

@op just because one rule is not enforced as much as you think it should doesn't mean than another rule is needed to be created, it just mean said rule should be enforce more.
Whether for rank or not, some carefree people might have reported "suggestive / too scary bg" to Content Review, recent graveyarded maps had attention for it than older (like year / more) graveyarded maps.Protastic101 wrote:

Just.....why bother? Whether the mapper gets notification letter from GMT / not (to change / remove bg), does it matter to you? People voting no not because of they ho*ny or degen whatsoever, just that, you lose none but you also get none
if its really bad then its not gonna get ranked under current rules anyway
besides if you want to have a "rule" on nsfw, then you have to establish a absolute scale of nsfw that everyone can agree on so it can actually function as a rule. otherwise just keeping what we already have sounds reasonable enough for dealing potentially nsfw bgs and other things

I just want more consistency between stuff getting the axe.
Stuff like loli cooch outline getting ranked and never removed or itty bitty big tiddy swimsuit cleavage thats bigger than her head is no bueno.

Feel free to DM me (or any other GMT/NAT) links to this content and we'll raise it for removal, especially the former.AnimeStyle wrote:

There is a large demographic of quite young users on our platform, as is the case for everywhere on the internet these days. On top of that, people's tolerances for visually disturbing or "spooky" content is huge across the board, and it's almost always better to err on the safer side of things when sharing content with a large audience.adim2222 wrote:

All of this is apparent if you think about the notion for longer than ten seconds.

I think we've gone too far off track just read the question again and anwser the poll honestly
Just so this doesn't got unnoticed - I DMed him the sets in question and appropriate action got taken. So once again thanks for helping out.Ephemeral wrote:

Considering the discussion: GMTs already monitor that kind of stuff and if something is questionable it can always be reported/content reviewed.
Should the guidelines be more strict? Yesn't to be honest. For the guidelines to be stricter we need proper NSFW support for site and ingame. At the moment it's not at a point where i would feel comfy increasing strictness more.
Closing this as Content Review already exists, as well as a way for regular users to report potentially questionable backgrounds through the mappers' guild website (https://bn.mappersguild.com/reports) where it can then be submitted for CR. Suggestive/borderline NSFW BGs are considered unrankable if they fail CR and must be changed by mappers in that instance.
