Star priority
Star priority has two meanings:
- A method of helping Beatmap Nominators to find beatmaps worthy of bubbling and later ranking.
- The star priority of a beatmap is determined by how many mod posts that have gained kudosu in the beatmap's thread, the sum of kudosu stars the map set has received.
- A kudosu star can be given by any user to any beatmap, though shooting a kudosu star comes at the price of one kudosu.
- The conversion rate was formerly three kudosu for one kudosu star that increased the Star Priority by two.
- The higher the star priority, the higher the beatmap's thread appears in the Works in Progress or Pending subforum.
- At least 12 star priority is needed for a beatmap to be bubbled or ranked.
- A method in determining whether a Feature Request is wanted by the community.
- The higher the star priority, the faster it gets noticed.
- Users with active osu!supporter status can increase the priority by two stars (
) per vote, while regular users' votes are worth a single star. Users may be able to shoot multiple stars depending on how many votes they have left.
- Note: The Feature Requests forum is currently obsolete, and has been mostly replaced by the GitHub Discussions flow.
