Why are the mods so picky about char. pages?

Question :


My full question didn't fit in the title, so heres the real one: Why are the mods so picky about what NEEDS to go on a character page?

 

 The other day, I created two new charcters, Carter and Dalton. They were deactivated because they needed a Personality on their character pages. A few days ago, I made another two characters, Bay and Anaya, and they were deactivated because they needed a Likes and Dislikes on their character pages. I can understand why they need the personality, but why dislikes and likes? Is it really THAT big of a deal?

Actually, personality isn't just "a little bit" of character--it's a huge and vital part of character development. Likes/dislikes are closely connected to the personality, and while I personally don't find them absolutely mandatory in the bio, they can in some ways help to expound the personality.

They way I see it, there are three essential sections to making a character: design, personality, and history. You can't have a good character without all three.

We're not calling you lazy as a person, we're just saying that yes, as a matter of fact, leaving certain things out IS is big deal; not only does it cause the character to be severely underdeveloped, it breaks the "complete" rule:

"Complete : Try to make your character as complete as possible! Your character must have at least one "headshot" drawing, and a "detailed" drawing is very recommended. Try to write a long description (at least 5 lines long) with such information : Age, Breed (if an animal), Personality, Likes, Dislikes, Background, ..."

The mods aren't being picky. They're following the rules and doing their job.

Schmidty: It's just lazy that you don't simply update the characters right then and there, and complain.

@-Elizaveta_DaVinci-: Oh, So since I forgot to include two little bits of information, that makes me lazy? That sure makes sense o-o

Schmidty: Yeaaahh.. Obviously you've proven that with not putting a personality or a decent bio. dA isn't that bad, you just gotta know what you're doing. Annnd, I never called this a fight, more of a discussion.

Well, Likes and Dislikes can translate into what the character is interested in. You know, hobbies, sports, games, what does the character like to do in their spare time. Things like that. It makes the character just seem more complete, that's all. :)

I know it can be a lot of work sometimes, but characters are SUPPOSED to be complex. Well, good characters anyway. It's just what we do here. Sorry if you don't like that.

@-Elizaveta_DaVinci- For one, Im not lazy. Don't judge. Two, I'm too young for deviantART anyways... Three, I didn't just put a name then be done with it. Im not trying to start a fight or anything, but seriously.

Adding such things help define the character more, and expand the personality. =) A good character is made by taking time to think things out.
