Full poll options as the website has truncated them:
1. Require 2 full nominators of separate modes, taking partial responsibility for any mode neither are proficient in.
2. Require as many full nominators as there are modes, where 2 nominate and any remaining modes require approval in the discussion before qualifying.
While this thread is similar to https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/792131 , this is primarily aimed at clarifying the current systems and slightly modifying it for the sake of that rather than changing the qualification process for hybrids entirely.
Which means
- A map can not be qualified unless nominated by people who are full members of the modes on a hybrid mapset. The current wording isn't the clearest, and only addresses the qualification step which is misleading.
- This means in most cases probation bns shouldn't nominate hybrids at all, which is not immediately obvious.
Please note that this is not final and this thread is being opened to be sure there is community input, whether that be a better way to handle these cases or suggesting rewording to make the rules clearer.
tl;dr: One full BN per mode
This new beatmap nominator rule would essentially being setting in stone what has been common practice for a long time now. It is very rare already for 3-4 hybrid mode sets to be ranked without approval from nominators for each mode, whether that be via nomination or posting in the map thread.
By having this clearly detailed in the rules, the ambiguity of the system would be reduced and it would be more clear that probation BNs can not nominate hybrids.
We have also considered making it so just 2 full nominators total would be needed for a beatmapset, with each nominator being of a different mode. They would then take partial responsibility for any mode neither are proficient in. (Two BNs for a mapset, always)
Each method has its pros and cons, so the poll at the top is to get an overall idea of which method everyone feels would be the better choice.
This thread will be open for discussion until March 1st, 2019.

Presently our rule regarding them is this:
Do not qualify beatmaps of modes which you are not a full member of, unless they were nominated by someone who is. This ensures that a full nominator is always part of the process for each mode. New nominators become full members after 1-2 months depending on how they did in that period.

After some internal discussion, this is the new proposal for hybrids:
Please note that this is not final and this thread is being opened to be sure there is community input, whether that be a better way to handle these cases or suggesting rewording to make the rules clearer.
Hybrid beatmapsets must be nominated by two full nominators from separate modes in order to be qualified, as well as gain clear approval from any remaining modes' nominators in the modding discussion. This means only full members may nominate hybrid sets, and ensures that a full nominator is part of the process for each mode, to take the responsibility for it (regardless of nominating or just giving approval in the discussion).
