Just a few things to clarify here, since it's the current Trending "Confession" (Seriously. Opinions and Statements are 95% of the posts we get anymore. It's stupid. Just make blogs or talk about it to the Staff in chat you dumbasses, nobody gives a shit who you are.)

There's no Featured OC this month, that's been gone over. As to how and why, that's a little something we should elaborate on. Y'know, Compared to the RWBY Wikia, that would just say "That's how it is" and explain only so far as how little they really need to explain.

How a Featured OC is chosen is through a random roll of every single Accepted OC on the website. The selected character then gets looked over as a sort of secondary checklist to ensure it meets the Featured demands.

These requirements are:

1) Is currently Accepted

2) Has suitable artwork. It's fairly straightforward, all it needs is a definate color, a body shot of the character and an Emblem done in a reasonable quality (Not a character creator or doll/dressup game.) Silhouette images and images that can be used as backgrounds are optional, but preferred. (We won't skip over your OC if there isn't one, we'll just use a Stock image from RWBY that's roughly the same color, which explains said Stock images we've used for a few months.)

3) The character has no edits made to it after Acception that would warrant it being placed back into Pending. (You make an edit, put it back into Pending. Easiest way to avoid this because the Staff DOES NOT contact you about this when your character's been selected for the Feature.) As for what is and isn't something worthy of placing back into Pending, use your judgement (Better safe than sorry.), or contact a Reviewer/Administrator about it.

The reason we have no Feature this month is because the pool of characters whom meet these requirements has grown rather shallow. Many characters with perfectly good art have been Edited after their Accepted date, and many more have already been featured, or their owners have already had a featured character listed. We try not to have the same OC owner featured too many times, otherwise people can get upset and such. (Who would want a 4 month period of just Team CIST?)

So, if you're complaining about a lack of Featured character this month, maybe go over your OCs and make them fit the Featured page requirements instead of ranting and raving about it.

And for the fucking last time, it's the CONFESSION thread. Not the Anonymous Bitching And Shitposting Thread. It's for shit like "Y'know, I just plain don't like those Faunus folk." or "One time at Beacon, I shit in the oatmeal. Nobody found out." The kind of stuff you tell your kids when you're 90 on your death bed that makes them do an entire 180 of what they thought of you. Or high five you, either or.
