Beatmaps that contain repetitive strobes, pulsing images, or rapid changes in contrast, brightness or colour in the storyboard must use an epilepsy warning. If the warning interferes with gameplay, audio lead-in must be made longer. Strobing effects at 3 Hz and below are unlikely to cause concern. When in doubt, add the warning and confirm its necessity during the modding process.

So this is good to go, or we wait for any more people to voice some more opinions on this matter?

Yea good change.

Are there any skins that may need this as well?

However, using skin is at the player's discretion really...

If they're using one with such flashes or any epilepsy prone matter, they should have known beforehand if the creator completely informed the users about it's content.

personally not sure how this would apply to map skins since osu beatmap skins can't control animation framerate, that's a user skin setting only. If there's any examples of how that could be a risk in map skins, it could be considered. If it's a concern for skins in general, that would have to find another home besides the RC since it wouldn't apply to ranking beatmaps.

Video and sb use is also at the player's discretion. Players can have beatmap skins enabled and not know what it contains until they play the map.

I have those disabled and I don't really look at other skins, so idk if there are any or whether it's possible to make beatmap skins that can possibly be seizure inducing. Just trying to cover all bases. If you don't think it's a concern, alrighty then.
