As the title said, I think the SBer's name should be added in Tags.

Our community is growing up fast, and there are more and more people know how to make Storyboards. They can make good fascinating things for the maps and make them better.
For their contribution on maps, I believe adding their names into Tags is a good idea, to make people know their name and appreciate their hard-working.

I suggest to add this line into Rules:
  1. Storyboarder's name should be added in Tags. They make actual contribution on maps.

That's it.
I hope I didn't explain anything wrong or strange...someone please fix my wording and make it better.
Ok, let's discuss.

EDIT:
According to some recent posts, we have these options:

1.Add a new rule.
2.Be murged with current rule (GDer in tags).
3.Don't add this rule.

Yes, I agree
Now it's only optional, and it feels weird that way

I thought this was common sense.

Don't need to add obvious things, tbh, in any case maybe it can be merged with:

The information of multiple mapset contributors must be provided in the mapset, if there is any guest mapper. This might be in the creator's words, via a storyboard or via naming the guest difficulties appropriately. You only need to provide information of guest mapper and corresponding guest part. Guest mappers must be added to the tags of a mapset. This helps others to know if the map uploader is the main contributor of the mapset and who else contributed to the given mapset.

Just my personal thought, but adding storyboarder in the tags always felt like adding the artist of the BG or the creator of the video to the tags for me... They contribute the mapset, but do not give a real impact to the play objects.

I'd prefer this to be optional as previous.

Will agree with Sonnyc here, he's right, adding him/her on the description should be more than enough, but adding him/her on tags should be optional. Of course, now that you are proposing it, maybe more people will start adding it.

But yeah, no one dies if you don't put it I guess.
The description is a nice place for more information about the mapset anyways, not the tags.

This just be solely a guideline. While a person contributed with the storyboard for a x beatmap, it mustn't be necessary to add him/her to tags because it were, all the people who helped the mapset should be added too. Therefore, leaving it as an option of the mapper would be the best.

I totally agree with this, I thought it was already a rule. Making a storyboard is as hard as doing a guest difficulty and it can be easier to find someone's masterpiece if their name are in the tags.

Common sense seems more uncommon nowadays.

I would agree with this new rule. I think good storyboards can add a lot to a map, and considering most maps already thank the storyboarder in the description anyway, I don't see a problem with it.

Actually this came out in my mind when I start to make SB in my own maps, it's pretty hard and took me like over one week to finish the whole thing. That takes much longer than I map.
I believe such a hard work should be fairly considered as an "actual map contribution", just like GDs.
Also it will be easier to find those SBs made by some certain people (like Damnae, 11t...), so we can take some of those ideas and create more different stuff. That's good for SB designers too, especially the new ones.
The main purpose why I suggest this rule is to encourage people making storyboards, so people can know who had contributed the SB in this mapset, and show the same respect on SBers as GDers.

And...though this is not really related to the topic...but not everyone will take a look at the whole song description.

Yes yes add storyboarder's name in the tags. Like I don't play std and most of the std maps I have are solely for watching the SBs and while I don't necessarily know who did what, I already know of some very experienced storyboarders and looking for their SBs via their username would be a neat addition.

Would be cool if storyboarder's names were added to tags though. Makes it easier to search through maps that certain users have storyboarded. And unlike the wallpaper/video, the storyboard was specifically made to accompany a mapset.

Making it a rule? Sure. But I think people should want to add SB'ers to tags anyways lol. (There's no reason not to anyways...)

It's irrelevant in my opinion. Mappers always add storyboarder's name at tags. But if you feel good with it, go ahead :)

It's hard to find someone playing with something else than 100% dim tho xd
This is more a matter for the modders, since they can see it into the editor, while most players won't really notice it imo. (And as a modder I always check who made the SB on the thread, that's why I thought it was enough)
Anyway, rather than a rule, I'd make it a guideline. Even like this modders will spread the voice and make it into a some sort of unspoken rule, even if, as already said many times, this should be more like common sense than anything (in case of this being a rule they could even DQ a map because of it, right? Which I find really dumb tbh)

lol. just add it, no problem

should be human sense anyways, i don't know if it's an actual problem that's worth being a rule - but it won't hurt anyway.
