Basically what the title said. The RC is now in affect for some times. Over this time i noticed that these guidelines get paid less to no attention at all. Additionally i think they give some limitations in mapping styles which let the difficulties look less what they actually should. A Normal and a Hard. The set of rules and guidelines we already have for both of these difficulties should be enough.
Last but not least i noticed that Modder and even some BNs mix them up and use the normal guidelines in their modding, despite the additional guidelines should apply. This will make everyone's life simply easier.
Therefore here my suggestion:
We will remove following Guidelines from the Ranking Criteria:

If a Normal difficulty is required and used as the lowest difficulty of a beatmapset, it should also follow these guidelines:
- Consecutive 1/4 snaps should only be three notes long. More dense rhythms are not appropriate for the lowest difficulty of a beatmapset.
Opinions are welcome! Although i doubt there will be a lot of voice against removing these guidelines but if, feel free to say so!Ranking Criteria wrote:

- Chords within streams are discouraged. The density of these patterns is often too difficult for players of this skill level, especially when used on the lowest difficulty of a beatmap set. However, using a chord at the beginning/end of a stream is fine.
- Short-term slider velocity changes should be used cautiously. Changes should only happen for sections of different pacings and the slider velocity should not be drastically variable.
