Alright people, listen up, in preperation for the Re-Review happening at the end of Volume 3 there are some things which need to start happening so here something mainly for the people who joined before January of 2015, if you joined after, then this doesn't really apply to you much.

For any OC's that were made before January 28th, 2015, we've made a new category to which you can add to your character titled which entitles your OC to not follow the First name CNR rule which was indoctrinated officially into the rules a year and sixteen days ago. These OC's may have their last name relating to a colour or may not relate to a colour at all, depending on when they were made. OC's made in 2013 mostly follow the latter due to Monty's naming rule not existing at the time.

Regardless, this is mainly to make life easier for the reviewers in a sense because if your OC was not made Pre-January 28th 2015 then it will be assumed to require a first name CNR (Doesn't hurt if it does and was made before that time, however, if it doesn't and doesn't have the tag, it will be rejected for not following the current ruleset). However, that doesn't mean you can skirt the first name CNR rule by having this tag on your OC as any OC with this tag will have their edit history checked to confirm whether the Grandfather Clause bodes true for it.

That's basically it, before the re-review Accepted Characters will be 100% cleared out because Frankly, many OC's (many of mine included) follow an older set of rules and thus do not fully conform with the RWBYverse which exists now in Volume 3, get ready kiddes, the rapture is coming.
