How is modder ranking calculated?

How is modder ranking calculated?

Please read the linked design document.

I'm modder #7 YES

Good to see a detailed information

When will this system take over?

A lot of detailed information.

Hypothetical, what if more than eight maps reach the qualification critera on the same day. How are you going to have those maps staying in there for only 7 days if you're only letting through 8 a time? Wouldn't some of them stay in there longer than that. Long shot I know, but it could happen. That's the only question I have off the top of my head, and the proposal seems nice otherwise.

(And what text editor is that, looks nice?)

They will filter out over time. The number "8" may change depending on how we can handle it. The main idea here isn't to increase the number of ranked maps, but to change the focus on which maps are ranked, giving all maps an equal chance.

it is a good idea for all mappers, but i'm worried about new mappers who wanna the new system since their have no sp at all and no experience in modding.

if it is possible to help new mappers like "if you have no ranked map then point request reduce to 100 or 150" ?

Star priority is not part of this system. When a modder mods a map from the queue, and if they find no issues with it, they will nominate it. THis means that even unknown mappers can get nominations via the queue.

what will happen with kudosu?

Only mods from the queue and assignments/session counts in the score?

i see..

but how about the "chance". I means, if there're thousands maps in the queue already, how about the oppotunity that the map is noticed by others?


another problem.. what about mode speicific mapsets like Mania? it may be a big trouble if i meet it.


edit : one more question: if it is much more hard for Mania/Taiko maps to gather enough ?

See design doc for mode-specific stuff.

Queue priority settings can be adjusted depending on how people feel their maps are getting attention. The important part is having the framework in place.

Might want to cut of that list over posts in a mapthread, and have it expand on mouse-over:
http://puu.sh/2HntI.png

It kind of obstructs the view of everything else, and it's not really that useful in most cases.

I plan on making it more useful and logical. It's by no means anywhere near final.

I like where this is going, keep it up.

Is mod rating the same as mod score, or is it different?

If they're the same, I'm probably just confused cause the values are so low for me (lol)

If star priority isn't necessary for ranking maps anymore, what's stopping someone from asking three people who has qualifications in approving a map from just posting in his map without going through the queue?

What about modders who see nothing unrankable from the map, but want to give small suggestions. Based on the pending map not being updated, and if by removing it, you reset its place in the queue, mappers will be discouraged from making these fixes.

Will BATs have maximum amount of modder rank since we already are deemed qualified?

This is fine assuming the map is ready for ranking (has no issues). If it has issues they will be penalised when it is bumped out of qualified criteria.

Their position in queue is already low after it has been assigned modders (each mod assigned drops the position in queue). Position in queue doesn't mean much after you already have modders assigned. It is assumed to some extent that those modders will carry on looking at your map until it is ready.

No.

Pretty nice system. I can't imagine myself getting that much points if the maps I get queued is not interesting to mod.

.....One question though... What will happen if let's say there is 70 nominated maps in total one day. Eight maps per day is only allowed to get ranked yet everything needs to get ranked in 7 days. Will there be a system to prevent the amount of nominated maps other than it's takes a time to get the power to nominate?

No. Sorry, but no. As for me system have some very bad issues.

1) Forcing people to mod this will affect the mods quality. Some people may just do not want to mod maps (and ofc lose their rating). So they will write mods "just to skip this map" (like "add new combo & clap, good luck")
2) How those maps list was builded? Due to Star Priority? But sometimes people just abuse the system (maps with bad quality have SP +50, 60, 80, and most of stars are from creator). Most of modders may just do not want to mod this. How they can be forced?

I think this idea overral is nice, but still needs work a lot. Thanks.

Please read the design document. This is already discussed (see the comments area if it isn't in the document itself).

new system looks great

I don't know if I understand the system correctly but I am just afraid of the loss of mapper's choose-what-to-mod power.

Edit:
If this happens, there will soon be no new mappers anymore. And many of mappers may AFK.

As 'qualified' maps will get a scoreboard, will they also give pp ?

I really like the concept anyway ! (People will eventually stop saying "lel BATs are corrupted they only rank their friends' map lelel").

I'd like to choose what I mod, and I'd like to do it when I have the motivation to do it.
Modding takes, depending on the mapset, about 2 hours for me. That's not something I can/want to do every day.

You're still free to do that, you'll just get less points.

You lose .6 mod score every day that you don't make a mod post.

If you don't care about your score, or if you have plenty, then you can mod at whatever pace you want.

If you don't play by the system's rules, however, you won't gain certain privileges granted by it (the main one being nomination of maps)

I think it's good, it gives a lot of maps an easier time getting modded, and lets people who want to mod actually gain something from it but also show them what they should mod

Seems fair to me.

(I hope I'm not misunderstanding something big)

They won't give PP (anyway, songs which are just-ranked give really inaccurate pp which is usually close to zero after the first day, so this will act as a good buffer).

You aren't.

Let me clarify something as well:
Is Nominate 4 Nominate (I nominate your map, and nominate mine) considered an abuse for this system? http://puu.sh/2HpB0.png

If this is true, I can imagine a scenario with 4 different mappers nominating their own maps without even getting any mods at all...
And assuming the maps are "rankable", they basically skipped the modding process.

To nominate a map, you need to post a mod post – even if that post says "No issues". If three people do this and there are in fact no issues, then it is not abuse to have such a map ranked. Keep in mind though:

If any issues are found, all of the nominators will be punished.
There may be extra priority given to maps which were nominated and have been waiting longer to be ranked (TBD).

it's hard to get a mania mod now,and i don't think we'll have any new mania beatmaps ranked if such rules are carried on

quantum-rose wrote: a52b

I think the opposite is true, from what I can tell, people are allowed to choose which modes they are available to mod, so if you have a mania only map in queue it will be sent off to mania only modders (this will include the mania BATs such as Entozer and Chonicle, I think)

At least, that's how I see it panning out. In the new system, instead of needing connections, the connections will be made for you.

some socalled "issues"are just full of dispute
and we'll never see a map like The Big Black because no nominater wants to be punished for nominating an "overmapped" beatmap

I'm a bit confused about this, it's a bit contradicting imo.
I know there are a plenty of mappers that like to polish their maps besides the mods they receive. Will they be able to do it only after receiving a mod, or they can do it whenever they want but at the cost of resetting their position in the queue? I think maps should be locked when achieving the Qualified status.

New system seems pretty good, but I'm afraid of those mappers that make "rankable" mapsets.

And Approval category will be removed as I can see, is this right?

peppy. There is no map with "no issues". 3 very experienced modders can call a map good to go, and others may disagree with them, but that shouldn't be a reason for a penalty.
Opinions differ, I wouldn't have EVER let some maps that were ra nked recently, get ranked, because I think they fucking suck, but some people seem to actually like them.

This is a great deal better than I would ever imagine it be like, great job peppy!

you are really a stupid guy
1. this system deprival people's right to choose the maps, what map you auto chose? high SP? Those 50+ 70+ SP why not can not rank? all things are obey the ranking rules, but their maps don't have any interesting things, so what should we say, remap PLZ? move this slider a gird? random maps? i can say there are more than thousands new maps can be a day, but only a about one map is ok for rank, this system will waste most time modders
why people want to mod these maps,1.they want to mod those song they like, 2.they want to mod those mappers and mapping style they like, 3. they want help new guys this system will deprival 1 and 2, people have to mod those maps they don't like. who willing to eat food they don't like?
2.mapping is an art, also modding too, don't like a RPG game, EXP for moding? are you kidding me? you can make a modding system, believe i can make a mapping system auto make maps, all the things obey the rules and like a shit, if you really want to. no one can stop me rank these maps
the really good mappers and modders will not willing to work again. please wait those LV99 mappers and modders make maps for you.
3.you are a really stubborn man, you can treat this post like a shit, you can do every decision alone and never change, even you can ban me, but did you ask your BAT's advice, they are not you pets, also you do not pay a dollar. you never respect them ,and they will hurt and leave, oh oh oh you can find more new BATs, the really dogs

I'm just afraid that this will devour the quality of the mod and favours the quantity. And like said above, it gets an RPG feeling by giving 'experience points' by doing mods, which is not what you want to achieve.

I wasn't speaking of how many ranked maps there will come, I was speaking of the mod posts. The quality will drop as quantity gets favoured.

one things missed. a new mapper is not have sps

Its only really the most efficient way to gain modder score to mod through the queue (considering you get 5 points per mod within the queue, and only one per normal mod).

Exactly. If such a system exists, it should not favor the "NC here" modders

Well, I think we'll be able to downvote those modders, which will get penalties for such modding.

This. Combos have a very large affect on how people interpret flow, rhythm and patterns in a map. Do not discredit them.

(although I think what he's referring to are people who just put "NC" 5 times and call it a good mod which is kind of silly)

Basically if one follows the modding queue, he/she would get a decent/fairly good rating if he/she mods well.
But if a mods songs not in the queue well, reason for doing so being because he has decided he/she wants to choose the songs to mod, he/she does not get as much of a good rating as the former . He/she would get less privileges as a modder, it seems unfair.

I think a lot of people here are missing the point:

This queue is designed to help mappers get maps ranked. If modders are willing to participate, they have an easier time obtaining certain privileges.

If you decide not to participate, you are not hurt in any way. However, if you obtained the same privileges by not participating, then it would defeat the whole purpose of the queue, leaving the situation the same as it is currently.

No, but a good modder should not only focus on that, but also analyze the rhythm, the flow, readbility, spacing, etc.
I don't consider a pure NC modder to be qualified to nominate maps any more than modders who actually check the whole map.
Also what Silynn said.

50+: Ability to nominate map for qualification.
100+: Ability to upvote helpful mod posts on any map

If by not participating in the queue and you mod elsewhere and some way or another, you are unable to get a score high enough for some abilities such as these, isn't it hurtful? If the same number of mods you do elsewhere is equal to that if you mod in the queue.

You do realize that if a map they nominated is deemed subpar for ranking, they'll lose a shitton of points? People nominating maps with no idea of what they are actually doing are gonna be weeded out in due time.

If you aren't helping the community, why do you deserve those privileges?

You have to put in effort to get something back. If you do proper modding through the queue, it does not take very much to get to the point requirement for nominations and you can mod whatever you like after.

If you want to mod whatever you like, then you can still obtain those privileges, just at a much slower pace.

There has to be some incentive for people to mod properly through this queue, otherwise it will be pointless.

: this design is not based around modders, but mappers. It is, I think, a good start to addressing the current problems and walls most people run into in their attempts to rank maps.

Sounds pretty interesting so far! I'm looking forward to it!

Please take in mind that BATs will still be able to penalize bad mod posts, and considering there will be a limit on the number of qualified maps and the maps dont get ranked by a BAT saying yes, but more like some time ing without a BAT saying no, all maps and their threads will have a chance to be reviewed by every team member.

This idea is awesome!

Oh, and I'm in the modder ranking. O.O <3

I don't think this will realy help mappers. If I understand correctly, you have to wait a long time without updating and without mods for the map to go up in the queue. Now imagine that it takes near 1 month to go to the top of the queue. When 1 month lasted since your last update a modder is assigned by the queue to your map. You apply the mod and the map go back in the bottom of the queue. So you wasted 1 month for getting only a single mod ? And dont say about actual "modding queues" when this will come, most modders may chose to use it to gain the nominating ability faster, letting mappers alone.

I also have a question : What will append to "low skilled modders" ? Imagine you want to mod a map. Actualy you the map, and try to mod it. If you can't mod it because you find no issues with it you just another one and try again. With this system, if the assignied map is too good for you, you must mod?? Then you'll post useless things or simply say "I'm sorry this map is too good for my modding level" in map thread ? Also what will append if a guy is not confident into his modding skill and have the ability to nominate a map? Must he nominate if he fond nothing ?

Old mappers: Haha I love this new system you see I have many stars I just need to spam shoot my map then hundreds of modders come to mod my map

New mappers: Where can I find the modders? Why do they refuse my in-game/pm/facebook/qq/any-other-approaches mod request?

Lazy modders: hahaha I love this system I only need to spam "1 grid up" and I can get bunches of EXP, and I can vote maps and unvote maps as I wish

Serious modders: what I have to mod songs and maps I don't like? goodbye

EDIT: Just want to say, mod from queue and non-queue should have same EXP. More EXP does not inspire better mods. The queue and random mod session should just be a way to help modders find potential modding-worth maps. Also, skipping a map should not have such a huge penalty. I think -2, even -1 is good enough as a penalty.

That is not the purpose of the new modding queue system. If you don't want to mod within this system, you don't have to.

The system is not the only way to actively participate in the modding and ranking of beatmaps. It is an attempt at fixing many of the problems mappers face when attempting to rank maps. Not everyone has limitless connections, or the free time to do 10 M4Ms, or wait for a BAT queue to open.

If you doing job what you dont like it will affect the quality, it. And this related not only with osu.

Anyway, i still thinking that this queue is too nazi. I suggest let modders choose at least 4 high-priority maps before skipping because noone really will click those button. Quality of mods is most important as for me.

just because you don't like a map/song doesn't mean you still can't give a constructive mod (you just have to put more effort into it)

and as countless other people have said, you can still mod the maps you want

Almost totally agree with you, but the systems will distract modders only receiving mods from forum queue, pm request, etc. That's why I suggest reducing the difference from queue and non-queue mods.

For example, we can adjust to:
non-queue mods

1. 2 points for first post
2. 0.6 points for other posts

Yes, we can. However when we find a map with no unrankable issue, and is really ready for rank, but the general mapping attitude is not satisfyting, if it get ranked, the player rate can be low. I think if you can't avoid modding the map, you may just say "remap please because the map is not satisfying", which may reduce your modder rating.

You don't need to actively search or bad modders; just poke them when you see them (either in your own map thread, or when you're modding a map). If everyone does this, they'll be found.

If you mod the maps you want to mod, you still help people the same. I think it's pretty strange that you will get less "points" for modding an other map.

The major flaw with the current system is the fact that a large portion of people pick and choose which maps they want to mod, leaving a lot of maps unmodded for ages, and eventually graved.

If there were no benefits to modding a random map, then why would the new system have any effect on the situation?

The system has a shortage. Some people may freely poke the modders having critical mods which is actually useful. Also people may frame-up innocent modders using this system. BAT may be responsible making a recheck on bad-modder-report, but it takes a lot of work, and still not quite efficient.

I love how you guys completely ignored my post.



That is % off your experience, i am pretty sure BATs will have enough time to check at least the daily nominated maps and their threads, and every single BAT will have time to go through a map and it's thread, before it becomes ranked.

Second thing: as for me modding points from queue maps should be redused to as least +5, it looks super unbalanced for now, people will mod only maps from queue instead others. All mappers should have chance i think.

Wow, I didn't even notice that. 30% total is a bit high.

If any modder feels they have been wrongly downvoted, I assume they may any one of the staff and have it sorted out within minutes.

Seems efficient to me.

The queue is what gives the mappers their chance, not the other way around.

I personnally think it will just be messed up.

I prefer how it is right now..

What does that do?

The first one: qualified modders will not be courageous nominating maps that does not violate the criteria but is controversial in certain patterns. also, this discourages people from making creative maps.

The second one: what if the modder just es by a map and the mapper is new and accidentally gives the modder a kudosu?

I like how the modding/ranking process becomes a bit organized~ (and less relationship based)
big improvement imo

For the 2nd one, i think the mapper should have an "undo" button in case they misclicked.

Yes that works often, but mostly the mapper does not know which posts should be given kudosu. Further more, which one should be given penalty? I think in most cases the "modder" does not make any fault. The BAT should be authorised to decide whether they will give the penalty and who will they give.

Also, what if mapper give kudosu by mistake? -30% looks too much. I think mapper should have button to denied personally modding points on his own map if he give it by mistake.
Or those system can be revorked as usual kd denied - people just will lost poits what they reseived by unfair way.

I somehow do not agree with the mapper not being able to update after moving to pending maps though. :/

+1, it looks kinda weird.

Good points, I agree there should be an option to penalize and an option to just reset, tho which one is used should be left at the judgement of the BAT, mapper can also have an undo button just in case they misclick or something.

It can be used like "first unfair points - just denied, second - just denied, third - denied + penalize".

Nice, this means that if I pm someone to mod my map or even do m4m they will probably reject because my map won't give many points \:D/
Nice nice, I hope there will be the good and serious modders who will keep modding on their accord
At least they still have the option the follow or not the queue
The only thing I ask: don't force people to use this unless you want the real modders/mappers/people who give a shit about this game to leave.

Good luck, farming modders.

Btw, what if I downvote someone's mod just because I don't like them? I hope someone will punish me for doing this, at least.
