Yes please, this NEEDS to happen already.

I highly disagree with this proposal, but nao pretty much summed up what I wanted to say already.
One thing I'll add tho is how little sense it makes to expect more out of hybrid BNs. A hybrid BN is just a BN with more options as to what maps he can nominate, not some with twice the responsibilities. Being good in 2 gamemodes would essentially be a punishment now, given that twice the work is expected of you, fuck that. Being a hybrid BN is already harder than being single mode, by just forcing twice the expected work you're just asking them to quit one mode and not be a hybrid BN.
In a perfect world all BNs are active and everything is great, but BNs are real people with real jobs and real things to do and lives to have, and at the end of the day osu is just a video game, a hobby, a pastime. Forcing more severe quotas for nominations is the most perfect way to suck even more fun out of being BN and pushing away more people.
most hybrid bns focus all their work on one gamemode, and completely neglect the other. I consider this unacceptable. 1 nomination per 2-3 weeks is a perfectly reasonable and extremely lax level of activity.celerih wrote:

Having the period be 2-3 weeks is so not lax lmao, calling it an extremely lax level of activity is so out of touch with reality. Think about finals for university students (which a good portion of BNs are), that's automatically 3 weeks per semester where a decent amount of them do not do nominations to concentrate on exams and studying (which is what they should be doing). It's a stressful period, and after 2 semesters of uni, you'd be kicked under these new rules for choosing to focus on your future, good job system. During that time, it's completely understandable to want to not go comb through garbage maps with the low chance of finding something decent, and then spend a good amount of time analyzing said map to make sure if doesn't have 1 of a massive list of unrankables. But with a 2-3 week period you're fucked.tatatat wrote:

Though we can consider your other point; which is about "high activity bns being punished because they make more mistakes". Their activity is already considered when we do checkups, as we often compare the number of DQ's they get with total nominations. But this point could definitely be discussed upon more.
