TFR Guidelines [READ]

[Iocus]

There actually is one (or was, I don't know if it's been lost in the shuffle) but it involved the user' age.

However, I have a suggestion on how to handle the newer applicants, especially since several users who meet the requirement at the moment aren't exactly recognizable enough to properly represent the forum. My suggestion is to have a council of like, 5, decide if an applicant is iffy. Something like TomG, Nicktendo, Gors(?), C2B, myself, or other people that would be able to really decide. The five (or however many, preferable an odd number) vote, and if the majority vote yes the person is good

This might seem like a bit of a cynical alternative, and I wasn't even going to mention it, but giving it some thought, it isn't really that unreasonable; what if playable eligibility is determined by reputation? I mean, as far as I can tell, the characters with the best reception all have at least 20 rep.

What I'm saying is, rep. score and renown are tightly related. It could be a (mostly) objective way to measure someone's feasibilty (and for people to determine if they will be taken in or not) without having to awkwardly reject people. And since they have no power over their own reputation, unlike with post counts, the numbers pretty much speak for themselves.

I'd imagine an issue or two could arise from this system, but I think it's reasonable overall. Of course, there can be exceptions; if somebody worked hard on a sheet of decent quality, the community could choose to keep it.
It could be like, 5-10 rep or more for helpers, 20 or more rep for player characters.

Idk, just a thought
