[Taiko] Change wording for "patterns on snaps faster than"

Consider the following Futsuu rule:

Patterns on snaps faster than 1/3 are disallowed. These patterns are too complex for beginner players.
There are two possible interpretations of this:
1. If you have any notes snapped to a blue tick (etc.), then the pattern is unrankable
2. You can have notes snapped to a blue tick, as long as it doesn't consist of consecutive 1/4 notes (i.e. 1/4 patterns)

To me, this rule sounds like it implies (1), but it seems the generally accepted interpretation is (2).
(for example: http://put.nu/files/ZSQ3yfE.png )

I propose changing the wording to something more consistent with (2), such as:
Note snappings of consecutive 1/4 and above must not be used. These patterns are too complex for beginner players.
(Based off the wording of the Mania RC, as pointed out by McEndu)

This is the wording used in the Mania RC, for reference. I think this makes stuff pretty clear and is not open to multiple interpretations.

Yeah this is much better, thanks for pointing that out

I agree with the proposal. I saw many cases where new mapper/modder (or even a bit experienced mapper) interpreted the rule wrongly, resulting on false mods hence may degrade the quality of the map itself.

Just for example (no offense to the mod poster), here is one mod that wrongly interpreted of aforementioned rules: Case.

I think you can change the wording from "should not" to "must not" as this is regarding Rule, not guideline as mania.

Yeah I've definitely seen several modders make this mistake, including myself

Yes, changed in original post.

"snap" is a misleading word in general here, you're talking about the time between notes and not much to do with whatever they're snapped to. does this sound ok https://github.com/ppy/osu-wiki/pull/3864/files#diff-178b1a51c2d722219c577b4bc98f0776
