Hello everyone!
I'd like to announce the creation of a Team Queue to unify the mappers and modders of a osu!mania community. After some discussion, many of us felt like it was time to make a change, and creating this queue should be able to push the highest quality mapsets quicker to rank, as well as help new mappers and modders improve their overall quality.
Thank you for your time!

Hello everyone!
I'd like to announce the creation of a Team Queue to unify the mappers and modders of a osu!mania community. After some discussion, many of us felt like it was time to make a change, and creating this queue should be able to push the highest quality mapsets quicker to rank, as well as help new mappers and modders improve their overall quality.
Why did we form a team queue?
Currently, the osu!mania ranking system is in a difficult state. With very few BN's currently active, this organized queue should funnel all maps into one place, in which if your map is accepted, could guarantee you a mod from a BN or QAT. This Team Queue will be used to take the immense workload off of our current staff team in order to evenly split the work between all participating members and further enhance the quality of maps in our community. This queue will also improve the speed at which maps are ranked, as now, all maps are in one place for our BN's and QAT's to check should they deem the set worthy of an icon. This team is open to any player by a vote of the current staff of our queue. That is to say, if you are found to be an active modder with high quality modding, you will likely be voted in. A note that modders in this queue may accept mods from other sources, but it is HIGHLY DISCOURAGED, as it defeats the purpose of this group queue.

The System
Maps placed into this queue will be placed into a list in which it will undergo a 3-Day voting phase. During this phase, the members of the team will quickly check/playtest the set and vote on whether or not the mapset will be accepted for further modding. If the map is accepted by the team, we will send members to mod the map and hopefully bring it to a level of which it can be qualified at. If the set shows it has the quality to be qualified/bubbled, a BN or QAT from the team will be able to check the map and determine for themselves if a set is worthy of a bubble/heart. WE WILL NOT FORCE THE BN'S AND QAT'S ON OUR TEAM TO LOOK AT YOUR MAP. This is done based on their own discretion. They aren't our slaves, we are here to help them out in a time of serious struggle for our community. If a map that we modded previous to qualification (within 1 week) gets disqualified, you may resubmit the map to this queue, and we will instantly accept the map for a re-modding so we can get your map back to ranked.
In order to circulate and revive the mania modding community, it is necessary for you to do one of the following:

In order to circulate and revive the mania modding community, it is necessary for you to do one of the following:
- You can mod 3 mania maps that are NOT listed in the Team Queue and provide proof that this was a high quality mod. This is a really important factor so try your best modding.
- You can mod 1 map that has been rejected by our team and placed into the "special list". (Maps are placed on the special list if we believe the mapset has potential or is very close to becoming a quality mapset).
Here's what we hope to achieve:
In total, we would like to attempt to unify the mania community into a place where a mapper can safely ask for mods without waiting months for a reply. This system, while currently untested by our team, will hopefully bring forth new mappers, modders, and potentially even BN's! This system will hopefully encourage others to mod other maps in order to recieve multiple mods on their maps. Remember, you're giving away a small bit of your time in modding 1-3 maps to receive a great deal more from our team! In the end, we hope to take the weight off of the shoulders of our BN's and QAT's who have been working extremely hard for us, in the absence of others. Now is our turn to give back to everything they've done for us.

Please be reminded that this is NOT the actual queue, just an announcement. The queue is taking place soon in this forum section as well.
Thank you for your time!
