a rule with exceptions is a guideline.
to elaborate on this, we're generally trying to standardize most guidelines into being "rules with expressly stated instances where the exceptions will be made". most recent rc changes have had this format.eiri- wrote:

im not sure how melancholy/posthomus/frozen etc are related to the rule either. they're not related to a username, they're just used by certain users frequently
we should just remove the rule altogether instead, it was added at a time when star rating was actually useless, but now our sr's are usually pretty telling of what difficulty a map is so there's no real reason to keep it other than "some people didn't like username-only diffnames", which isn't a very good reason

if i named a difficulty "pishi" or "pishifat", it wouldn't be valid for ranking. if people are talking about stuff like pishInsane not being enforced as unrankable, i can understand editing the rule accordingly, but removing it entirely makes the first case okay, which shouldn't happen

Difficulty names must not solely consist of usernames. Words that happen to be usernames are acceptable as difficulty names as long as they relate to the song.

A beatmapset host cannot indicate possession in a difficulty's name. Conflicts caused by beatmapping multiple songs with the same metadata and collaborative difficulties are the only exceptions. Guest difficulties, however, may indicate possession with its creators' username or nickname. (e.g. Guest Creator's Insane).

The best way to go about it is to draw a clear line and not take the rule so literally I guess. Something like this might work?

what about old cases of this, such as iNiS980/iNiS201 (indicating EBA/Ouendan style) or something like KIRBY Mix/DaRRi MIx
this wouldn't really cause a lot of confusion since most people are probably playing the diffs because they are made by old mappers in that case
