the ideal would be that all maps that fall in the unplayable category for

-grossly mistimed

-map is extreamly short (like 20 seconds)

-mapping is all over the place

Would just simply be deleted as AFAIK these maps form the vast majority of unranked maps. There is just simply no reason to clutter the beatmap page with that worthless shit. If some people want to download those maps maps from friends or something for some reason they should use 3rd party file hosting or send email attachement.



Too bad we dont live in an ideal world so my suggesttion wouldnt work because it would mean that every single uploaded beatmap would need to be gone trough. With the OPs suggestion it would be enough to filter in just the maps that are playable and no harm would be done if some are missed.





Ok so this would be really useful since i like western rock and metal songs but 99% of them are unranked since there is not a single BA or QAT who does so its just impossible for them to ever get ranked in the current system. Also there is this thing that even thou 80% of the unranked maps fall in the unplayable category while its only like 10% of the maps ranked since 2014, there actually is much much more unranked maps that are really good than there are ranked ones (17 of my top 20 maps are unranked.) Also many ranked beatmaps that have a much better unranked version of the song.

What i do when i hunt for unranked gems, is that i search for the songs i want to play and put the "all" non-filter active and then check the creators profile. If the creator has over 5000 games played then the map is usually playable. And when it isnt its just like fuck me, and i have to try my luck again.





Now the reason this suggestion will never be implented and the reason why I did not suggest this even thou i had the idea over a year ago is because the BAs and QATs do not agree with the pros. They think that all of the maps that get ranked are top quality since those got trough a very strict ranking process and all that shit. And ofcourse all unranked maps must be bad because they have not gone trough the process right? Too bad that is bullshit and the "2014 mapping" is just getting worse so far in 2015, in ranked maps ofcourse.
