If multiple key modes are present in a single beatmap set, the key mode must be denoted in the difficulty name.
while this rule is clear for the most part, it does not mention anything regarding the case of single keymode mapsets. due to this, mappers can potentially include keymodes in diffnames for single keymode mapsets. this seems to be an unintentional loophole as this mapset was disqualified for this despite it being perfectly fine according to the rule.
since the keymode of any difficulty is shown on the website and in the client, the use of keymodes in the diffnames for single keymode mapsets is redundant. it is also a potential cause of inconsistency in difficulty naming among mapsets since some single keymode mapsets will use this whilst most will not.
proposed change: add a secondary statement to close the loophole. something like below:
