Queue Status: Closed
Introduction
Hello! It's with great pleasure that I've decided to announce the first formal queue of the CtB Beatmap Nomination Group (BNG). We hope that this queue will solve the problems we've been having in CtB recently, and help towards a more unified team of nominators to properly distribute and quicken work around here. The purpose of the queue is simple. The centralization of work among the BNG members will not only increase the quality of mapsets across the board, but also create new means for discussion between us, which in turn, will improve our own outlook on maps. Members of the Beatmap Nomination Group will take BN check requests from ONLY this queue (NM/M4M will be done on their own) so that way we have a centralized way to deal with the workload on our shoulders. If you're a member of the Quality Assurance Team (QAT) and are interested in joining this group as well, please contact me directly.
How the Queue works
General
- This queue will run on a round-style basis. This is to prevent people from submitting 6 maps at once, as well as make the load more manageable for us in the BNG.
- You can submit maps of your own or maps of other people to be considered by the queue.
- This is NOT a NM or M4M queue. Anything that doesn't meet our quality standards for a BN check will be declined, possibly with no further modding.
Joining this queue is NOT mandatory, though it is HIGHLY recommended. Your job in this queue is to maintain a solid standard of activity, as well as provide input on as many maps as you can, whether it be a small opinion or a larger discussion. The process is simple:
- A map is submitted to the queue
- The map either receives 3 "yes" votes, or 2 "no" votes. The map will then either be moved to the Nomination pool, or out of the Submission pool, respectively.
- Once in the Nomination pool, a discussion of ~4-7 days will open up about the map for all nominators to give their input on the map's quality before it's pushed forward (Not just the ones who've claimed to icon it). At this time, members will be able to air any concerns they might have with the map, and discuss it more thoroughly.
- After this, you'll claim slot 1, 2, or 3 if it's an approval map. This is the order of icons that will be given out to the map. This system is to set a clear idea of who wants to check the map, and also prevent overlapping mods. Of course, if you feel like adding an extra slot simply to improve the quality of the map before it's pushed to qualified, then you'll be allowed to do so.
- Following that, the map will be modded and pushed into ranking by us.
For both members of the queue and mappers alike, submitting to the queue is fairly easy. There's no prerequisite of modding or mapping, but only simply to be putting forward maps that you feel meet the quality standard of the BNG.
- You are allowed to submit 1 map per round. This means either your map OR someone else's, but not both.
- You cannot post a map of someone who has already has a map of their own submitted this round. (If someone else submits one of your maps, but you want to submit something else of yours, the map that you submit will take priority.)
- The mapset owner must be the one to submit the map, meaning GD'ers must inform the mapset owner in order to submit here. (This applies to GD's only.)
- Your map should meet basic criteria such as +12 SP, a few mods, etc.
- Your map must be rankable. Submitting maps with incomplete spreads, unrankable elements, or any other blatantly low quality usages of the editor will be declined.
