Changes to hybrid mode mapsets
Relevant background: Proposal
- Universal favour to retain hybrids and incentivise players to try other game modes
- No currently implemented way to *require* per-mode Nominators
- Can implement makeshift solution using Notes for each gamemode
- Ideal solution implements per-mode Nomination bars where BNs can nominate for which mode(s) they are proficient in - disqualifications should also ideally reset nominations on a per-mode basis
- Examples: https://i.imgur.com/50IMVxe.png or one bar per http://puu.sh/BgPIA/d9fe83e3d3.jpg
- Run forum poll to determine interest / preference (coming soon)
Metadata Handling and Checking
Relevant background:
- How is metadata being handled since the dismissal of responsible QATs?
- Do BNs show growing proficiency in metadata and do sets get ranked with faulty metadata?
- Come up with a system to set genre/language
Discussion:
- Still a certain amount of dependence on previous metadata help groups, but proficiency is also improving as BNs become more self-sufficient
- Noted some improvements in BN metadata proficiency, though these can be continued further
- Fewer DQs for metadata then before, though new rules regarding TVSize and Circles metadata is confusing and causes issues
- Investigate if Genre/Language can be unlocked from the beatmap management panel in new web for BNs to use when nominating
- Beatmapset event (similar to resolving an issue or posting a nomination) for setting Genre/Language
- Related: Show genre and language in new web beatmap preview - https://github.com/ppy/osu-web/issues/2751
- Allow BN+GMT users to set Genre / Language
