As you can probably tell from the title, this is more for the forums than the actual game. If you're like me, and you're too lazy to make a beatmap yourself/suck at making them, but you really want one in, then you'd most likely want to ask someone if they'd be willing to make it. Ultimately, this is more of development requests rather than song requests, and the song requests end up being ignored in this endless void. If we did make a song request subforum, not only would it give us a shot at getting a really great song in osu, but it would also give the creators some ideas as well. Ultimately, it might end up strengthening our community as well. I would recommend organizing requests by genre, so that way you know what to look for if you're searching for an idea. Plus, it could get pretty crowded scrolling through what will most likely be the countless amounts of electronic songs just to find that one rock song. This is how I would make a request:
Song Name
Song Artist
Song Album (If any)

Recommendations
As for Pros and Cons, I'll just give you a brief rundown.
Pros
-Allows a voice for lazy people/people who suck, like me
-May offer more options & ideas to creators
-May inspire some to make a beatmap
-Can introduce us to songs we may have never heard of before, or remind us of an amazing song we forgot
-Probably wouldn't take much to create, since you really don't have to much to the actual game itself, just the forums
Cons
-There will always be trolls
-May still be a bit difficult to find songs even with the organization system I suggested
Overall, I think the pros outweigh the cons by far, but that's about all I have to say! Thanks for hearing me out!
