Can map mutators be done if well named? esample; instead of
DeltaSiegeDry S or rev or special, just DSD S ?

Yes, mutators are fine as long as they are well named. The branding policy is here: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=23943

So, from that, "DSD S" would not be ok, because
(1) It doesn't make it clear that the mutator has a BA x.xx dependency
(2) It doesn't make it any attempt to say what the mutator does, in terms of modification to values set within BA x.xx.

Example: Suppose you'd made a mutator where lolcannon caused paralysis instead of damage. Then "DSD (Paralysing lolcannons, BAx.xx)" would be fine. More good examples: "BA Chickens (BAx.xx)", "(BA x.xx) Speedmetal & Duck Cannon"

Map mutators should be used for small changes that are map specific (e.g. Duck Fusions). Substantial changes should be made with a fork & an entirely new mod file, with a name that clearly differentiates it from BA.

about that everyone knows the map is a mod modification, because ive always add an advise on descriptions on maps, other thing is u doesnt like it and are afraid about dishonesting ur work.

Ive always done it for years and there were no problems in the past, dunno why yes now

Maybe I can help...

There has been nothing but problems in the past, which is why a (very reasonable) branding policy has already been established.

I disagree, I remember there being much drama over you including your ba mutator in a special version of DSD.

not that I cared but I do remember MANY people having a problem with it very vocally.

As do I.

A significant portion of the world's population doesn't know this. Cater to this group, new players come from there.
