The way the current system is new BNs are are put into probation for a 1 month trial and full BNs can also be demoted into it. BNs that are in probation are not allowed to qualify a map if the previous nominator was also a probation BN. The idea behind it is so that mapsets can be guarantee a check from a BN with proven proficiency before being pushed in the qualified section. However, the problem with this is the mixing of old and new BNs; if a fully fledged BN was recently demoted due to behaviour or activity (or any reason that doesn't questions their credibility) then they shouldn't be put in the same group as new BNs. They have already proven that they are proficient so why hold restrictions to them qualifying maps, it just creates an unnecessary obstacle for both the BNs and mappers.
I propose to split the current probation system into 2 groups "Trial" and "Probation". Trial would be given to new BNs and those demoted for reasons regarding their proficiency, this would be nominating mapsets with unrankables and would keep the same restrictions as before. The new Probation group would have no such restrictions and instead just be a group with the sole purpose of identifying those on the verge of being removed. With this new change it allows the BNs demoted into probation (for activity, behaviour etc.) to be able to carry on nominating maps free from restrictions, and as a result, prevent some maps from staying in an almost limbo state.
