Personally, I don't see a need for rigid diff names when we have a perfectly functional rating system already in place, and homogenizing diff names prevents mappers from communicating the mapping style used on the diff (0108, skystar, etc.). Why not let the diff names be whatever the mapper wants and simply make the star rating available to the player as a method of gauging the diff's difficulty?

Because it has already been discussed about.

in other words, make sure the average human player can understand what difficulty the map is by reading the difficulty name. without knowing the mapper. without special knowledge of a niche topic.

Okay then here's my only compromise: You can name the highest difficulty something tastefully different from the rest under the following conditions:

It can't be a username, or anything related to a username.
The other difficulties should make sense in an increasing scale way, as previously discussed.

My goal here is to avoid the difficulty name becoming a way of determining the mapper. This is an unintended use and I will never stand for it.
Naming them by mapping style is basically making it a way to determine who mapped it, which is what is to be avoided.

It's not really about clarity, I just don't understand the need for that level of specificity with a more accurate rating system already in place.

Well the current ingame star ratings are not always accurate... the website one is better so maybe we can discuss this when the client uses the website stars.
