Well, for stealing other diffs, it's forbidden, we've seen this everywhere, and most of the nuked beatmaps are because of this. People are aware of this; the fact that doesn't do this or put a random background is only logic (I'm not saying that they're not logic, there can be something behind this). This kind of DQ were never seen in osu! before, that's why we should warn people. Overall, if a DQ would have been done on some Lemur's mapset without any reasons, or clarifications about it (to be honest, we never heard about that, even though I found illogical to put a random background, I said nothing, cuz IT WAS NOT FORBIDDEN) there would have been so much shittalk and drama about it. Let's avoid that, can we? The best way to make people not making drama about it is to officialize the rule. If this rule wouldn't have been officialized, there wouldn't be any reasons to DQ CV's mapset. And for the "stealing diffs on other mapset", it is officialized.
Afaik only this is mentioned, that would mean if you ask mapper whether you can take GD from his ranked mapset, then it would be rankable, but logically, it isn't.

But what's the point. Adding a rule won't avoid drama. If you don't know how does modding system work now, then first we DQ and then we discuss till conclusion is done - we may raise simply anything. If mapper cannot provide an argument that would allow him to keep the issue, then he must change it. There must be reason behind everything and beatmaps can be disqualified for many things that are not mentioned in ranking criteria. We could make rule for every issue that was disqualified, which wouldn't even avoid drama, because it would be full of text. Every single issue could be listed here, which would make it infinite list of criteria which nobody would read after all.
Realize what is Qualified section and DQs about. It's not punishment, it's enhancing the map. People are too much concerned about DQ - scores will be wiped anyway and map won't be harmed at all, just the mapper will be forced to express himself or fix issues.
IT WAS NOT FORBIDDEN
That's simply referring to older maps. We ensure quality, if map with issues passed to ranked section, we can't do anything about it. But as long as it's qualified, anyone is allowed to raise his opinion and start discussion and that's reason why things that can mean quality lack can be disqualified and not only things from Ranking Criteria. As I stated already, most of things in RC are here, because they cannot always be realized by simple logic. We don't need another rule for things that are easy to realize.
. Ranking Criteria rules are meant to be objective and not available to differing interpretations. If multiple interpretations are possible then the rule cannot be reliably enforced.
