In order to rank the map with the modified .osb we will need to upload it through Titanic's BSS. Since we are doing that we could choose to not rank Sytho's Insane. In my opinion we should leave the map in and keep it ranked. Someone could see that this map is ranked here on Titanic and be looking specifically for this diff and be disappointed that it's not there.
I think this opens up a much larger discussion as to what is the vibe of maps here on Titanic. Is the goal to only have older style maps (up to the latest client added at the time)? If that's the case should we be unranking or discouraging older style maps? It's a bit of a tough question that I think we will need to decide together as a community. What do players and mappers here want? So far we have no imposed any sort of mapping style on Titanic mappers, but for Map Requests we have discouraged or denied newer style maps historically.
In my perspective, it solely depends on which the target audience goes to. As I said, I wouldn't mind getting the Sytho diff unrank or loved as historically, the map is modernized as for the rest of the diffs such as top is mapped on a grid-style / old mapping style. However, there are other mappers like Bloxi who still maps and ranks grid-style mapping to this day (i hope).
But the question relies on the other BATs / players who plays in these clients where there is no pp farm abuse, just score farming and hard mechanics to some at least. Do players / BATs don't mind getting some modern maps be ranked here or should only be stay on bancho and find unranked / ranked maps that only comes between 2014-2015?
I don't really have the final say but it all comes down to you guys.
