Disappointed since a few weeks seeing that close to all picks are Extra diffs, please select more full spread mapsets.

passed it along to the team, if possible hopefully we can try to get some easier maps in sometimes. most of the map submissions we get only contain higher difficulties, though :/

You only have about 10 or so full spread mapsets among the 607 mapsets currently bearing a Stamp of Approval. Wouldn't it kinda make more sense just to get those ones out of the way first?

no, I don't see why that would make sense. they aren't any more eligible for Loved than the rest of the 600

it is unfortunate that such a small amount cover large spreads; there's not much we could do about that though

Can anyone explain what does "haven't tried" or "Stamp of approval" means in google sheet. Aren't captains just looking throught submitted maps and choosing which one they like the most?

I was merely stating my stance from the viewpoint that, compared to maps with less than a full spread (E-N-H-I-X) worth of difficulties, maps that not only have such spreads but have much larger spreads (of which there are extremely few) tend to take much more time and effort to assess and process.

I'm saying that it might be prudent to at least give higher priority for inclusion in polls, not for them to all be put into one or two nomination cycles. Perhaps one every few rounds of the polls, for example.

Stamp of Approval: This category is for beatmaps that have already been approved for eventual inclusion in the polls for future nominated. The priority assigned to these remains, to this date, without concrete definition, and as such, beatmaps are nominated at the Captains' discretion.

Haven't Tried: This category is for beatmaps that, though neither incomplete nor outright rejected based on the few possible disqualifying criteria in the Loved process, have not yet been approved for future inclusion in polls. This does not inherently mean that the beatmaps haven't been tried.

WIP/Unsure: This category is for beatmaps that, though not outright rejected based on the few possible disqualifying criteria in the Loved process, have been deemed as either incomplete or are still being debated as to whether or not the beatmaps truly belong in Loved in the first place.

Not Enough Favourites: This category is for beatmaps that, though submitted for Loved, do not yet meet the minimum favourite requirements (30 favourites). It is unclear whether or not these maps have the potential to be qualified for Loved in the event that their favourite count rises enough.

Rejected - This category is for maps that, though submitted for Loved, have been rejected for any reason that disqualifies them from continuing further into the Loved process. There are a plethora of reasons why this may happen, and the following are the most prominent and likely reasonings:

1. The beatmap author has contacted the Loved staff and explicitly refused permission for their map to be Loved, whatever the reason that might be. This can be reversed at any time if the beatmap author changes their mind afterwards.
2. The beatmap in question has already been qualified/ranked, or the beatmap author has contacted the Loved staff with the explicit intention of do so with their map. This can be reversed at any time in the case of the latter if the beatmap author changes their mind afterwards.
3. The map is a re-upload of someone else's map (unless the map was originally made by the new uploader). This can be reversed at any time if the original beatmap author gives permission for the beatmap.
4. The user is a banned or restricted user. This can be reversed later if the beatmap author is reinstated afterwards.
5. The beatmap in question is stolen from someone else. This can be reversed at any time if the original beatmap author gives permission for the beatmap.
6. The map contains illegal or forbidden aspects (Such as BG, Audio, Video, Copyright Infringement).
7. The beatmap breaks the mechanics by which osu functions (auto-fail, breaking score limit, client or PC crashes/freezes when playing beatmap, invalid object types).

that's what we're doing

i was wondering why so many old maps that was ranked and totaly fine before got modded and in loved state... ?

im sad to see my old classics being altered, anyway just asking ... thx

can you give an example? not sure I understand what you mean, we don't move maps from ranked to loved

the one that i played last and made me come here is this one. https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/710630#osu/1502221


it says on bm page that it was submitted in 2017 .. must be the wrong one ..
or its been resubmitted after a change..(i found the right one going through the list) maybe im getting old and a bit crazy heres some of the ones i have found going quickly through my stuff...

^^ is those never been ranked before ? ^^ i tought it already been idk


vv those prob never been ranked but they should vv

https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/391703#osu/853167

thx for the reply

yeah none of these were previously ranked. for the first one, you might be thinking of DJPop's other map of this song https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/243#osu/1147 or maybe his other sets with TAG4 included

though it's true that most of the ones you linked *could* be rankable if the mapper had decided to go that route

yeah the first one i mentionned i found the it afterward

well i really tought some were ranked before... (2nd list)

thx for your time

https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/358119#osu/788979 this guy really really wants his map ranked but no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so just help him get it to loved

lol

Hi toy is there a way to join the loved team?

assuming you're asking for osu!standard, digitalhypno told me they aren't looking for more captains rn

beyond captains, the "loved team" is just a few more guys that do misc work (like me posting on news/forums), and I think we've got that covered for now too. you could keep an eye on #osu-loved in the osu!dev discord server to see if any opportunities open up

beatmapsets/1200218#osu/2586413

um i want this loved but im the mapper who mapped this but so is it okay to ask? xddd

yep, that's okay! you can submit it to the form linked in community/forums/topics/1044962 if you haven't already

Okie ww

unpinning and locking this topic as the OP is a very old announcement and nobody uses it for discussion anymore. I'll add something about this announcement to the History of Loved wiki page

see #osu-loved in the dev server for Loved discussion, and community/forums/topics/1044962 for other links and such
