Some people have noticed, some people haven't. Since the very creation of slider (I think, lol), there has been a misuse of slider repeats I consider really bad. This consists generally of a slider of a half-beat length with many repeats. Why is this so bad? Because you don't know when will these end unless you play the map twice and/or looking at it in editor.
You can take this as a mini-rant, but I actually think there should be an open discussion about this topic. There have been a few posts about this (osu! ranking discussion, Nazi-modding is not the way to go), but this deserves it's own thread.
I have been wandering around, modding, and pointing out these kind of errors. New mappers generally take my advice, but most people "don't understand" or ignore me.
Also, I have never seen someone else is modding this kind of aspect in maps. Have I been the only one who points this out, or more people are out there that care about this?
I must admit, sometimes it really fits the music and it's fun, but this is really just in a few cases. Most of the time is quite frustrating to play the map twice (In the worst case, even 10~13 tries if you're an experienced player) to FC it. I'd show examples, but it might result offensive to the mapper.
Do you think this is a real problem, or do you just enjoy these kind of "kick sliders"? What do you think about it? Will you spread the word about this "misuse" of repeats? Or will you encourage these kind of sliders instead? Do you think a guideline should be added?
Sorry if there has been another thread about it, but I think it's better to create a new topic.

. Now it hits me whenever I play these maps (mainly because I've gotten better and have moved on to these kind of maps), and I think it deserves to go in the guidelines. A part of our task is to improve osu!'s maps and playability, and I believe that slider reverse abuse is something important that belongs in the guidelines.
