Guidelines for Difficulty Subforum [READ THIS BEFORE POSTING!]

[jimerax]

Guidelines of this forum

- When you think the difficulty rating of a song should be reconsidered, you can make a thread for votings in this forum. If the thread gets enough votes and percentage for the difficulty change and the staff approves them, the difficulty will be changed. Polls are optional, we will count votes in people's posts.
The title of the thread should be, "Song Name [N or N+1]" (For example, "Uber Rave [9 or 10]").

- Song choice and difficulty choice should be appropriate. If the song isn't considered to be in the borderline difficulty, or difficulty choice is considered to be out of place, the thread will be locked/deleted. Also, don't make 2 or more threads for the same song unless the original one is locked/deleted.

- When you vote, reasons for your difficulty choice are required. Difficulties are relative parameters, so you need to determine the difficulty ratings by comparing the song with other ingame songs based on Technical factors (BPM, framers, patterns, length, TPS, etc), and Statistic factors (# of AAAs, # of SDGs, # of FCs, PA of Rank 10, 50, 100, etc). It's sometimes quite subjective but you can use your own AVERAGE scores of songs in the same condition as sub-factors too.
Reference songs for difficulties are listed in this thread.

- Don't constantly argue with other posts. If you have detailed opinions for difficulty changes or current difficulties, use the discussion thread in this forum.

-Stay on topic and avoid irrelevant posts. Non-voting posts will be moved to the discussion thread, or just be deleted.

- Basically you can vote once in a thread. If you intentionally vote multiple times using alt accounts, you may be banned.

- You can change your voting after you vote once (this should be avoided as possible though), post the new voting and add something like "difficulty voting changed" in the old post.

- Please treat this forum section similarly to Critical Thinking. A valid reason is mandatory in order to have your thread approved, and/or your posts considered.

- A reminder to all: Check which users are moderators of this section before you post, or disregard someones 'advice'. They are trying to keep you on track, and if you disregard them they will punt you.
