So ima keep this short and sweet, i think there should be a mandatory time period where people must update their bio's. For me i think every 6 months a bio is forced to be updated so that is complies with all current rules and regulations. I make this suggestion mostly because im starting to see alot of "older" bio's surface which have abilities on them which can no longer be on a single bio and also have abilities that are no longer even allowed in our Rp. So yeah flame away chat away reason away idc this is my suggestion and opinion because all bio's regardless of age should be complient with the ever changing rules.
[Suggestion] Mandatory Bio updating.

For starters if you go inactive for over 6 months you've pretty much given up all rights to your bio. In no way does anyone ever have a bio stripped from them, if they go away for 6 months and come back they should have to update that bio so it coexsists with the new rules if there are any, of the person is able to keep that character its just mostly for abilities that are stacked on older bio's that bio's these days arnt allowed to have.

To say this is also saying the Rp mods arent doing their job. If something isnt allowed contact them or they will see it and make it known it isnt allowed, obviously if they seen it and didnt mention anything about it then theyre allowing it. We just werent lucky enough to be considered an oldie. Let it be.
What are you on about mods not doing there job? The mods know full well what is and isnt allowed on a bio, hence why im saying that it should be mandatory to keep all bio's up to date with current rules. Its all good being an 08 with a bio that has liek EIG MS Sage mode CM as a Kaguya with Inuzuka techniques, but in reality for any normal member ypu'd need about 4 bio's to hold all that crap, its all good and well they have it but just because they're "old" doesnt mean they should be allowed to rp with bio's that're breaking so many bio rules it isnt funny.
Even so i see no logical reason as to why this shouldn't be a thing. If someone has a bio that no longer complies with the Rp rules then it should be re submitted so that it does infact comply, otherwise whats the point of having rules cause ill just go back a dark release bio with 3t sharingan and SM cause rules mean nothing apparently

I really don't see what the issue is here. People are already supposed to update their bios regularly, which by far most people also do, old or new, simply because even many old members gain new stuff and want to add it to their bio, however I don't see any particular reason as to why I should force people to do it on set periods. Fact is many old RPers who return from an absence update their bio by default on their own accord.
I doubt the problem you are talking about is so severe as you make it out to be. It's the exact same principle as with old OP CJ: they were once approved so they can keep them unless that person is clearly abusing them. Even if a bio is against the current rules, at the time it was approved it was allowed so they can keep using it unless that person is abusing it or dropped the bio. A while back I approved an update of a bio of an old RPer who came back (who posted the update on his own accord). There was a mixture of two minor abilities that's not allowed anymore, but was at the time it was originally posted. I saw no reason to revoke it though I clearly specified that it's not allowed anymore, but that I will let it slide so that they know it.
It's really nothing new, it happened very frequently that when we updated certain rules, people who already had a bio from before the new rules, but contradict the new ones, can keep it till they drop the bio unless it's really too OP.
The amount of RPers that has very old OP bios and that are currently active, can probably be counted in the single digits. People have been revoked of stuff they gained a long time ago if they abused it, but likewise I don't really see to make a hassle out of it as long as the people who have such stuff behave.

Well, now that, that's out of the way I propose a new suggestion
Increase the one month rule to six months. I only use six months as to reference Delta's suggestion for an update every six months. I wouldn't mind seven or eight months even.
This of course being a joke induced by approximately 19 hours of being awake and 8 of those dedicated to programming homework. I apologize for the spam unless Caliburn actually takes me seriously and extends the time limit for which people can drop bios...okay how about two months....

An what about things that no longer exsist like( I hate using examples) custom jashin bios? They no longer exsist anymore and I should know cause I asked you a while ago cause I wanted to make one.
It's not about wether things are or are not allowed anymore, I remember when gobi updated his bio when I started rping and his bio was declined for some reason. It's not even about having op abilities stacked with each other( like eig or sm) it's about the fact that updating bios is a thing, updating cj is not so I don't see why this was added to the conversation, it's about the fact that, no new member can stack anything at all on bios anymore, yet any oldie can have the same abilities on your two bios on one bio but its a no issue? Ok screw mandatory updates, how about anyone that's been inactive over a set period of time has to update their bio if they plan on rejoining the rp.

The bold can be addressed by the following:
You're just making an issue out of nothing, move on and stop complaining about it.

That wasn't what you origional argument was or at least that's not what it sounded like in the beginning. I may be exhausted by the issue I'm getting from you is that people are stacking their abilities and you don't like it. You don't like/approve of the fact that old members get to keep these stacked abilities because they are OP, contradictory and potentially (likely) non-approvable in today's time, therefore why should they keep them. However, Cali made it quite clear that this is a small issue with a reletively small pop and that there is no reason to do anything about it unless those abilities are exploited/abused. If they are, then their ish is revoked. If not, then they will update on their own and depending on the vast severity of their bio abilities they may or may not taken away, though it's likely Cali will deal with such bios since I wouldn't, for the life of me, know how to deal with an Inuzuka Somono Kou, EIG bio with MS. If I saw that shit I'd be like :/ *leaves*
And to your last point, that is still a mandatory update, you just narrowed the target to the people you intended this for in the first place :/
Closed. Caliburn already answered it and if you have a problem with Emperor's bio, I suggest you PM Caliburn with it the same way you can PM me about abusive CJs. However, making such threads fueled by annoyance towards what other members have is very lame. It can completely obscure any validity your suggestion might have by shrouding it in a moaning, *****ing cloak. Because, regardless of being wrong or right, at the moment, what this seemed to be was nothing more than a complaint about one individuals bio and thats pretty lame.
