Votes finished. We are pleased to say that we are adding the new difficulty and renaming insanely hard to extremely hard on our wiki.

Erm, it's not June 15 10:00am UTC yet. In fact, it's only 00:08, June 15, 2016 (UTC), and I wan't to change my stance to for this proposal as it currently stands.

I do not agree with the replacement of "Insanely Hard" with "Nearly Impossible" as the hardest difficulty. "Insanely Hard" has legacy on this wiki, which I see no reason to remove. "Nearly Impossible" I also feel is too strong in its language as, well, look at all the people who have passed IH levels. It's hardly "Nearly Impossible" if hundreds of people have done it! That sort of language might encourage people to give up on the hardest levels, feeling they will never pass them, rather than to keep trying and get through. If people think something is impossible, or even "Nearly Impossible", what motivation do they have to keep trying? "Insanely Hard" doesn't have this problem. It's more supportive language, saying "Yes, we know it's hard, but you can get through it like we did". That is why I this policy as a whole.

On a related note, I do agree that "Extremely Hard" needs to be added between "Very Hard" and "Insanely Hard", but I do not agree with the rest of this policy, so my decision still stands.
