Star priority has two meanings: 312a14

1. 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 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.
2. A method in determining whether a Feature Request is wanted by the community.

   • The higher the star priority, the faster it gets noticed.
   • s with active osu!er status can increase the priority by two stars () per vote, while regular s' votes are worth a single star. s 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.
