As the osu! community grows and/or we get users who submit all at one go a bunch of beatmaps made in a haphazard manner (to put it kindly), there is an increase in submitted beatmaps that can swamp even the most prolific of mods.
There has often been talk about limiting the number of unranked beatmaps new users (or every user) can submit, but in neither community meeting has a concrete decision been reached. Here's the relevant minute snippet from the most recent meeting:

Let's discuss this and reach a decision here. For now, I believe all users should be limited to a maximum of three nuked/unlabeled/starred beatmaps. Bubbled beatmaps and beatmaps who enter the graveyard subtract from the limit and allow the user to submit more beatmaps. However, I can see a possible issue with my suggestion about bubbled beatmaps which get downgraded to stars - will this cause the system to go crazy when it detects four beatmaps? Also, what about people who are over the limit when it's first enforced?April Meeting wrote:
Reikin suggests new users should be blocked from submitting beatmaps for their first few days in order for them to take the chance to study ranked beatmaps and get a general idea of what is acceptable and what isn't. peppy and Kharl don't consider this necessary and peppy proposes instead to follow the previously suggested idea of having an upper limit of unranked beatmaps allowed for new beatmappers (beatmaps that have since been moved to Beatmap Graveyard will not count towards the limit).
Reikin suggests a new forum for good but "Unrankable" beatmaps (due to either being extremely challenging or otherwise unconventional etc.) so that they don't count towards the limit either. He also suggests having a seperate ranking leaderboard for these beatmaps, which will not interact with the main Player Rankings. peppy seems somewhat positive towards that idea, except as far as the seperate rankings are concerned. P-Drogan suggests having a seperate forum for Nuked Beatmaps (bad beatmaps that fail to follow even the most basic of requirements), but peppy considers this too harsh.
