Normally, I do not tend to reply to official reviews, but I feel that some comments on this one brought up some points that need to be addressed.

And please, I would suggest that others not spring to my defence in a retalitory way. It only makes everyone look bad in the end.

Moving on, the previous Reviewer was made aware of the fact they missed something. I brought up the point with them and asked if it was okay to go back over, presenting my reasoning with evidence, as I do when I write my reviews. He agreed with them, so I reverted the review.

As for your worry that I may retaliate on you for voicing your opinions publically, I would not under any circumstance.

I commit to my job, as a Staff Member of the RWBY Fanon Wiki, to not only assist in enforcing Quality Control for Pending Characters, but to also act as a bridge between the Staff, and the Community.

If anybody at all, has any concerns, issues, or worries, I want them to come forward. I promice no names will be revealed, no retaliation will be dealt to those with negative opinions. If someone, ANYONE, be it from Administrator, Community Member, and all those in between has an issue, it needs to, and should be addressed so that both parties can come to a sound and polite conclusion.

As for the claim that I am "Psycho strict" and that I "choke creativity, and look through my sole views and judge based on that" many of the rulings we've developed, as Administrators that are responsible for Reviews, come from a thought out concencus on things. Many of the rulings I have personally enforced come from these rulings and not nessicarily my own opinions, infact, I may personally disagree with some of them. However, to make an exception due to what I personally feel, or do the opposite and Reject on what I personally feel, are BOTH highly Bias, and simply not how I function as a Staff member when I commit to a Review.

Yes, I will agree, that I am strict, possibly the most strict. However, this is not nessicarily a bad thing. RWBY is only in its first Volume, arguably not even its first Season. The extent of our knowledge as to what we know is possible, plausible, and what we're willing to accept that's neither of these is EXTREMELY limited. Many, if not all of us, are aware of this.

However, as the Volumes come out, and more information becomes known, our expanses of what we know becomes broader, and what we'll accept, even more so. Yes, things are strict and tight now, but it's not to stifle creativity, or because we wish to force our own viewpoints. It's because we have VERY little to use. Only One Volume, not even a few hours of footage, and Monty Oum being infamous for answering very little in panels and letting us see what happens when it happens.
