[8:34:17 AM] Gala King Dragon: I'm going to say this because no one ese will bother to. Also, if you people(you know who) keep not saying your opinions, I will call you out myself. I know you all think the reviewing system is fine, but I think it is far too strict. This is coming from someone who has never had a character rejected, so I am not complaining.

The criteria we base reviews on force the characters into small tracts. If a semblance strays too far from canon, it is rejected, if it is too close, it is rejected. I have seen characters rejected for having wepons that were not fancy enough for the RWBY world, I have seen characters with Lightning semblances like Yang's minus the anger rejected, yet characters who can litterally drain body heat accepted. The streams that are accepted are so close to canon that they nearly copy it. Yet anything with noticeable bits of creativity accepted. : IT wouldn't even be a problem with me, if we had the Original Rules in place. The original plan was to create a forum. Where Rejected OC can RP. But Tsu NEVER put this in place. Even after I poked and prodded. There was huge outcry originally at the RP system, and that was with the AU RP forum. Without it, you have so many people who dont even want to be here. Do you know the Fanon's reputation with anyone else on the internet? There are a lot of users here who love the system, and there are users who hate it, but the only vocal ones are the former. I encourage all of you, please speak up, this is where we can actually get what we are trying to get. I am an admin, and yet I have zero voice, so this is the best shot we have.
