I would support this but it seems like the solution in 2015 going into 2016 is to just rank the unrankable gimmick maps.

I don't want those kind of beatmaps to be mixed with normal beatmaps. Also, this will encourage to mappers to map more gimmick maps rather than actual beatmaps. The only way I see this working is by nominating age old beatmaps.

This ofcourse is in no way a problem or a negative.

I think it's a good idea, if one map can't be ranked or hard to be ranked but have a high enough favourite times (yes, favorite) it can be moved to the "player's choice" category or something like that, +1 vote :)
p/s imagine if centepede have scoreboard, that would be D everywhere ^^

The more I think about it, the less harm will it create
If people want to follow gimmick instead of rank just let them.
This'll leave more room for mappers who want to get their maps formally ranked ^_^

Really though, this has so many stars, why is there still no statement (or did I miss it) ;w;

I think there's a statement from ztrot somewhere on this thread that we're wasting our stars

Hello! it seems you are all wanting a new category for beatmaps, but this has been done in the past and the results were a mixed bag. It is a shame to see so many votes on something that essentially could be done by anyone with a bit of free time. Unrankable maps are just that unrankable.... this doesn't mean they aren't good in there own right hell some of them could be amazing! But there is no need to create a category for something we wouldn't allow to save scores for, that is kinda all there is to this discussion. I mean if you really want no one is stopping you from making your own little blog or something listing out all the best gimmick maps, I mean if we were to make a category for things we wouldn't track score it would just be as effective as a personal ran blog. I understand some of you are newer around here so you wouldn't know but we have tried this and it failed it was reverted, and there is no sense in repeating ourselves.
I mean the community hasn't changed AT ALL since then...

So I think what this is missing is a post containing specifics of the request.

small example below

What should this be now? My opinion: Submitted maps that will not go for ranked but are finished and unchanged for a longish time but do have
community support and love to want a Scoreboard that maybe has the top 50 replays but does not give PP.

-Map Submitted and unchanged for example 6 months.
-Map has for example 500 favourites or more to represent the community wanting a scoreboard and then could either get a scoreboard or apply to get
a scoreboard and someone in charge to give a greenlight.
-Scoreboard should be added with a warning for no PP.
-Replays maybe for top 50
-Quality Control there should be no Quality control except the amount of favourites, in my opinion this should open the map up for this kind of scoreboard
but ofc no NSFW stuff or other big problems that do not apply to the mapping in itself.

This is all debetable but I think to make this request happen we need to present a plan and I am sure someone can make a better post containing all problems with this
and how it could really be implemented.

Maybe Peppy can give some input again on this request because of the amount of stars?

That's a sad story...
It's actually a pretty good idea, but anyway.. xD

That is not necessarily true. If this request had no chances of ever being implemented it'd probably have been marked as invalid. As far as I know we don't have an official opinion on this from the staff.

I have no idea whether or not this was meant as an official opinion from the staff, but for reference, here's what ztrot said about it:

This would be briliant - there are so many EXTREMELY popular unrankable maps (heck arles maps definitely come to mind) that it would be brilliant to have a scoreboard on
Though I definitely feel there should be a criteria as many have mentioned. Though, definitely not a strict one.

Personally, I thought of having a system where users could 'vote' on maps that haven't been updated or ranked after a certain time period. (say, 6 months).
>If a map reaches a certain amount of votes, it would be placed on a 'To be approved' list
>Then, these maps would simply be checked for profanity, nsfw and non mapping based problems that might arise.
>After the check they are then given a leaderboard.

Though, as someone mentioned previously - I definitely think there needs to be a warning that no pp is given for the map.

This is definitely a feature Id LOVE to see added - I enjoy so many unranked maps that will just, never be ranked ;___;

Will those maps eventually be going to a different subforum?
Having them in Graveyard feels a bit sad, while the maps do get displayed under "Ranked & Approved Beatmaps" on the mapper's profile page

They should be "bundled" in the Ranked section - similar like Qualified - and their own icon. How about a hea- ah sigh..
