I'll start this off by saying this is a very important post, and worth everyones time to read.

Lately, I've been noticing a trend.

A trend I do not like, nor is actually kosher for the Fanon.

And that's adding things to characters after they've already been Accepted, but havn't been re-submitted to review the new changes.

There's a history log on any page that shows the list of edits, chronologically. It's not hard at all to see if someone has edited a character after they've been Accepted, and with a quick comparison, exactly what these edits are.

Now, don't get me wrong. Correcting spelling and grammar mistakes is more than fine. But lately I've seen people adding things to characters like Semblances, new weapons/abilities, mixing Dust into their combat style, and so on and so forth. All of these things, even individually in the smallest amounts, require a re-review.

This is where I'll get serious. This is a very bad thing to do, and nobody, least of all the Staff, particularily enjoys finding OCs that do this. It adds work and means that there's possibly ten times as many in pages we simply havn't looked at.

Please, and I can't stress this enough. RE-SUBMIT CHARACTERS IF YOU CHANGE ANYTHING ON THEIR PAGES.

Now, I gaze into my crystal ball and it tells me the comments to this post are going to be filled with "Selena, is X okay to change and not require a re-review?" to which, I will answer every single one right now.

No. If it's a change, and it's not spelling or grammar, it needs a re-review. No exceptions.

For now, it's simply an annoyance, but if this trend continues after this, the Administrators may consider taking tougher action. (Such as forcing a re-review, and having said review be to the rules as they are right now. Currently certain characters Accepted before certain dates have an effective immunity to rulings on lore we didn't know about if they were re-submitted right now, such as the half-dreaded Color Naming Rules.)

Please do your part to make this easier for us, and re-submit if you change your character after they were Accepted.
