For my school science fair, I decided to try to make a program to automatically generate Piano Tiles-like maps. However, Piano Tiles does not work on PC; so, I decided to use Osu!Mania instead, as the maps are saved in plain text and are easily editable. For the project, I have to get multiple player's opinion about each map. So, I came up with a survey for people to sign up for a mailing list so that I can inform you to get your opinion about each beatmap. Beatmaps will come in rounds and you will not know what kind of AI or even if an AI is being used at all for each beatmap. If you'd like to participate in this study, I encourage you to fill out the applicant survey: https://goo.gl/forms/sdG1K08LxTmiF3Go2. The questions may seem slightly excessive, I just want to see if there is any correlation about an opinion about a beatmap has to do with the player's ability/tastes as well as to be able to clean up any data.

Edit: spelling

You posted in the wrong place. Ask a moderator to move it to https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/107

Now about the questions.
1) What is the reason we are not allowed to share maps?
2) What is considered "potentially data-integrity-compromising information"? What does this mean?
3) The question about level gives roundabout info for a scientific setting. The correct question would ask how many hours of osu!mania gameplay the player has clocked because this is essentially what level is.

1. So that people don't know what AI the map was made with - this may influence the player's opinion of the map and skew the data
2. I should have phrased this better, I meant like "any information that may influence another player's opinion on the map".
3. I can't find a way to get how many hours you played and even so, it would probably include time not actually playing a map.

For the moderator thing, how do I ask?

Oof, I'm blind. Though, it does say "Total Play" time which would include other game modes.

change gamemodes in the tabs on top and the time changes. It's per gamemode

I would just repost this to https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/107, honestly. The mods aren't really good at moving things for people; they usually only move things to Off-Topic or the Wastelands. You'd be better off reposting, in my opinion.

Surveys is a rather low-traffic subforum.

Time spent playing is a garbage metric if you're interested in player skill btw. PP is slightly better but still pretty bad too, but it's the best we have, assuming that's why you're interested in level/time played.

Edit: I see you already included PP in the form. One thing to note is that level/time played only counts for ranked maps, but some players spend a lot of time on unranked maps.

Thanks for what you said in the edit - didn't realize that when making it.

Yeah I've been playing since mania came out (I think it was December 2012) but since I primarily play unranked maps, my time played is hilariously low compared to the actual amount I've played.
