Well, every now and then, when im looking threw characters, I see some stupd things like this this:

"Hey! You stol my characters name! I iz reporting ya!!"

Or

"You made a rip-off of so and so's character whats his face! Your dead!"

Okay, well, not those words completly but still, its what their saying.
What this rant is about, people need to chil when it comes to characters who have, about, 2 or 3 things that are alike. But what they look at is the design, never the bio! Im not sayin its happend to me, well, it has, but I feel so bad for te people who just want a cool character, but don't know there is a character tha looks like it. But their personalities, like, dislikes, hisory, and other stuff are WAY different.

Here is an exapmle of what is NOT a stolen character, they look a bit alike, but their bio's are different:



See what I mean?

ALL CHARACTERS (C)ME!

Now for a new rant...

The character page

Yes yes I know there's other rants about characters, but mine is not like those.

Im tired of the people who make characters just for the sake of making characters. They make them, and never use them again! I think the mods should delete the characters (or not let them be posted when the owner is trying to do so) that don't aply to the following:

1) The owner had left the site
2) The owner doesn't use the character
3) The character should have at least ONE picture/render by the owner or somone else.

Say you want to go look for a character, that you KNOW has a character page. So you type the name in and what comes up... NOTHING

Examples:
Beauty Jenna's Character Ren, I wanted to find her, but when I typed her name in, she didn't come up. So I had to go to BJ"S page and find her my self -_-

Catwhohas14tails character Gus, I don't remember why I was looking for him XD, but when I typed his name, he, again didn't come up.

My character Ben, I KNOW he has a page, because, duh, I made him! I was checking to see who might be using those names (not sure why ^^') but when I typed his name he didn't come up, like the rest -_-

Now don't you find that annoying? Go on, try it!

Also, I HATE seeing stupid posts like this:

"Oh he's so cute I am totaly entering and my characters bio will be posted soon"
Or
"I like that one it is awesome so can I have it cuz she is perfect"

What it SHOULD look like:

'Oh! He's so cute! I am totaly entering, and my characters bio will be posted soon!"

"I like that one, it is awesome! So can I have it cuz she is perfect!"

See the problem?

Or what ever people like to use.

Now I think you are tired of me whining, so I'll shut up.

If this needs to be moved, locked or whatever, do it kindly please! 83 No flame wars should be started here.

You say that like I KEEP spamming, Im not, did you read ALL of the rants? No way there's another topic EXACTLY like this, so don't start anything.

That topic is taling about difficult characters to draw, and about adding things to your character and stuff. Not all aout what Im rantin about. And I don't want to start a fight.

I just put that so a flam war by somone else said somthing like "YEAH THIS TOPIC IS JUST LIKE THAT ONE! IT NEEDS TO BE LOCKED" And you know there are people on this sight like that And Im not angry, so I don't need to calm dwn XD

Apologize? For what? And no, I did NOT make this for flam wars! I was simply saying somthing one member might post if they saw you first post.

Okey, fine, Im sorry. Now lets BOTH stop.



Now that happyness has come back lets get back on topic.

Okay, well I personally think this should be locked. It's a valid rant and all (even though you're a bit hypocritical) but the first part of the rant, has already been ranted, the second part of the rant is not really a rant and should be reported to steet and the third part is not a major problem, but it would be better to tell the person directly than rant about it.

YOu think I havn't done that? Some of the mods (not all) don't do that much anymore. BUt go on, report it and lock so you all will be happy. Just posting my OPINION like the rest of you.
