CHARACTER RULES UPDATE

[Monobindi]

HELLO GOOD PEOPLE OF AM. After our most recent ~Staff Meeting of Secrecy~, Failz, Lexi, and I have come up with a few revisions to our character policy here on Afterhour Mayhem. Please make sure you read through these so you're in the know!

• REGARDING THE CHARACTER CAP: The character limit is now done away with! That means you can app as many characters as you like, WITHIN REASON. If you cannot keep up with all of your characters, or if you have important canons who aren't doing much but...sitting there collecting dust, please use common sense. Either clean out your characters and drop the ones you're no longer using on a regular basis, or at least have the decency to be willing to give an unused character up to someone who intends to be a great deal more active with them.
  
  
• REGARDING CHARACTER APPS: Because we have done away with the character limit, we would like to make sure that no characters (particularly canons) are being neglected, or simply apped and then never used. To get members to pace themselves, and to make sure you're testing out your characters and seeing what all you can do with them properly, we're bringing back the X Posts Before Apping a New Character rule. However, we know that due to the slower pace of the board, it can be difficult for some of you to get ten posts in a brief period of time. Therefore, the rule is this: Before you app a new character from this point on, you must have five posts with your previous character.
  
  
• REGARDING MULTIPLE CHARACTERS IN A FANDOM: Another rule put in place to make sure the 'NO CHARACTER LIMIT AWW YES' thing doesn't get too out of hand! From this point forward, we're going to ask you all to limit how many characters you take from one specific fandom. Because of the wide variety of fandoms AM allows, and because they all vary in size, amount of characters, and popularity, there's no set limit - it's going to be decided on a case-by-case basis. If you are part of a popular fandom, please be courteous and leave characters for other members. Use common sense. If you have a couple of major characters from that fandom already, take a minor one next - or better yet, branch out into another fandom entirely! If we see character hogging in a fandom, we WILL put a stop to it.
  
  
  Thanks guys!
