Mapper reuses patterns lasting roughly 1:30 from a different map and extends the map by 3 minutes with own patterns. People claim it's too similar and is an example of content bloat. Others claim the extension makes it ok because it's not exactly the same map.

Mapper makes a normal diff with AR7, whereas rules permit only up to AR6 (guidelines perhaps permitting higher). NAT disagrees higher is justified, spawning a huge debate over whether higher AR is hard for new players.

Map vetoe'd due to song being a poorly done "meme" mashup mix. Arguments proceed on whether this mix is justified, ultimately ending with the song being DMCA'd.
