+# Sampleset
+
+The collection of sound effects that are heard during gameplay.
+
+There are **three** types of hitsounds:
+
+- Normal
+- Soft
+- Drum
+
+Of these types there are **three** different hitsound additions. These are played over the default *normal* hitsound:
+
+- whistle
+- finish
+- clap
+
+A *normal* hitsound is used by default when working with any of these **samplesets**. This is the default sound you will hear when objects are clicked.
+
+There are also other parts of a sample set that may include the slider tick sounds and the sound made when filling the spinner metre.

+# Slider tick
+
+Slider ticks are the dots that appear inside [sliders](/wiki/Hit_object/Slider). The amount of slider ticks used in a slider is dependent on the [slider velocity](/wiki/Beatmapping/Slider_velocity), the [BPM](/wiki/Beatmapping/Beats_per_minute) and the inherited timing.

+
+Sliderbreak has two meanings:
+
+- In [osu!standard](/wiki/Game_Modes/osu!):
+
+  - Tapping the slider-start too early (this can cause the slider to shake)
+  - Not collecting a slider tick (includes the hidden ones underneath the slider-start and slider-end).
+  - Releasing the slider ball before it hits the slider-end.
+    - This will not cause a miss, but instead will give the player a 100 with no combo increment.
+
+- The case where the player does not obtain the max possible combo without missing an object.

+### Star Priority
+
+Star priority has two meanings:
+
+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 user 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.
+   - Users that have supporter status active when voting will shoot a pink star (![Kudosu](/wiki/shared/Kudos.png)) that increases Star Priority by 2 each, whilst a user without supporter will shoot a blue star (![Star](/wiki/shared/icon/star.gif)) that is worth only 1 each. Users may be able to shoot multiple stars depending on how many votes they have left.

+# Silence
+
+A user that is **silenced** is limited in the things they were able to do. **Silences** can be placed by members of the [Global Moderation Team](https://osu.ppy.sh/groups/4) and [Nomination Assessment Team](https://osu.ppy.sh/groups/7)
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Cannot edit userpage
+- Cannot change avatar/profile details <!-- unconfirmed on new site, but was a thing on old -->
+- Cannot submit beatmaps
+- Won't be able to send/receive private messages
+- Cannot post on the forums
+
+## Common reasons for silences
+
+- Inappropriate behaviour in public chats and forums (including #multiplayer, beatmaps threads, discussions and comments)
+    - This includes spamming, nonsense chat and racism etc.
+- Uploading inappropriate content
+    - Includes inappropriate avatars, beatmap submissions, profile details, userpage, banner and beatmap stealing.
+
+The length of a silence may vary based on the severity of the infringement. Silences can stack on top of each other, adding more time for each one.

+# Spectate
+
+Spectate, or spec, is when someone watches another player playing a [beatmap](/wiki/Beatmaps) in real time (with approx. 500ms delay). To spectate, open the extended chat and click on a grey user panel.
+
+For this to work, you will need to have a copy of the exact same beatmap the player you wish to spectate is playing. When someone you are spectating starts playing a new beatmap, it will be announced in a private `#spectator` channel. However, if you have an [osu!supporter](/wiki/osu!supporter) tag, the beatmapset will be automatically downloaded via osu!direct and processed for you.

+# Star
+
+**Star** used to have four meanings:
+
+1. A stage in a beatmap's modding process where a moderator judges a beatmap to be on the right track but needing some improvements before approve with a bubble.
+   - Examples include adjustments in timing, incorrect beat spacing in some areas, or creating additional difficulty versions.
+   - Beatmaps receiving a star are denoted by a star graphic next to their thread's title.
+   - A star may be removed by another mod if the beatmap is thought to be in need of more improvements.
+2. Another term for "Star Rating".
+   - The symbol that represents the difficulty of a beatmap.
+3. Another term for "[Kudosu](/wiki/Modding/Kudosu)".
+   - These are given to beatmap modders and can be used to raise a beatmap above others.
+4. Another term for "[Star Priority](/wiki/Modding/Star_priority)".
+   - These stars are given to [osu!supporters](/wiki/osu!support) and are used in [Feature Requests](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/4).

+
+A storyboarder refers to the user who makes storyboards for their own or someone else's [beatmap](/wiki/Beatmaps). They may have used the editor's design section to [storyboard](/wiki/Storyboards), used a third party application, or have done [storyboard scripting](/wiki/storyboard_scripting) (or SBS).
