Yo!
I'd be Bookwoman, also known as Asako Hyosuke by the oldies in here. I've been assigned as Moderator here and I will assume my job properly. I'm a rather strict and perfectionnist person, so, I will be stingy, severe and act like a prick when needed.
Alright, since introductions have been made, I'll tell you now the reason of this announcment.
The Profiles and Bloodlines/Clans!
Alright, we all know what profiles are, we also know how to follow a template and how to read the rules. Now I know that you're all thinking "But..." and there is indeed a huge one.
I've been reading all profiles, and I mean all of them, in one single day and have been writing down some notes. And the general opinion/idea I got from all those profiles was...No one, or almost no one are capable of applying those rules/templates. Which is rather sad as thing to discover.
I know that I'll be getting mad PM's and/or replies for saying this, but, most of the profiles I saw, were filled with half-assed weaknesses, biographies, strengths and what not. Those have to be fixed and understood why they aren't good. And the rules are the rules. Don't try to find a loophole or an exit to them, because I'll be sure you'll be sued.
I am not asking for the impossible. We all know that we have non native english people here (I'm one of them) and that not everyone are eloquent writers or creative people. What I do expect is that people actually put effort in it and also try to realise that there are things that don't exist nor are possible, even in the Naruto world. We have a large asset of choices, possibilities and abilities in the great world of this anime/manga and adding to those is sort of a shame and simply unnecessary, especially with the last battles that we have been able to admire in the latest chapters/episodes. I do like creativity, but please follow a few limits~
So, I'll be asking all of you, to restart your profiles from scratch and wait to get approval from me, Yakate and someone else if possible. But without my approval or that of Yakate, none of the profiles will be accepted, nor will you be allowed to RP. Also, we will be there to assist you and help you.
I won't ask any of you to make a new topic and such. I'll be asking tho to edit your profiles and that as many times as you need to do. I won't pry you to do it as soon as possible. My goal isn't to stop all the rp's that are going on now, but the changes will have to happen as soon as possible. I'll be checking the profiles regularely and giving you comments or ideas to help you if needed.
If there are any questions, problems, feel free to comment and/or PM. Flames are welcome, but expect calm answers from me as well as proper explanations. Also, please report in this threat that you read this and will be checking your profile. Thank you very much for understanding.
Thank you for your attention and please enjoy this wonderful site~
