So, osu! is a community-maintained game. There are probably lots of maps published daily, and this lead to them having a rather flawed approval process.
If you publish a map, it will get in the “Pending” category. Nothing unusual there. There's also the “Graveyard,” where Pending maps get archived if there's no activity on them for some time. If people don't “mod” your map (modding in osu! means correcting your map, commenting on it, liking it, etc.), it will get Graveyarded.
How do you get your beatmap modded? Well, it's simple. There's an official forum for osu!. In there, there is a subforum called “Modding Queues.” People who want to mod maps can make threads here and people who want their maps modded can respond to those threads.
Here comes the fun part.
Everybody has their own set of rules. If your map/mapset doesn't correspond to those rules, tough shit; look for another queue. There is also a possibility (pretty high, actually), that a person doesn't accept modding requests at the time. Your chances also dramatically decrease if your maps aren't Standard, but rather Taiko, Mania, or Catch the Beat.
I've been looking for a modding queue to help my two Taiko maps not die for an hour now, but no dice. It's kinda ironic how the subforum has a pinned post saying don't spam the board with requests / don't ask for too many mods at the same time.
I know this is a free service people are doing for you, but going through this shit is mandatory to not have your beatmaps die. This is not how a game like this should be structured.
