Mind has broken again

[Zanji]

Alrighty after remaining silent for a while in this area I suppose it's time for me to say or suggest or recommend something....hence the name of the title of the thread.

Custom Bio's -

Why is it every custom bio I see that involves a different anime character not naruto based......that said person has to go and get the approval of the person that has that character.

That is stupid on every level. Why do I say this?...Because is that "their" character that they created....drew the pictures for or made famous? I don't hardly think so, so that person has no right in the say so on if someone else can have the same character or not.

Whoopee they made took the character and customized it or moded it to fit the Narutoverse......so can someone else that doesn't exactly mean that everyone's bio's will be the same......

Suggestion:​

​

Mods don't say someone can or cannot have that bio due to someone else possessing that same character seeing as that would be highly hypocritical seeing as there are multiples of Sasuke, Kiba, Hashirama, etc.

Just check to see if that person's bio is a copy of someone else's bio or previous bio so that it isn't 100% copied. Not that difficult​

Manga Threads -

To be honest I am getting tired of seeing so many threads asking "Who is Tobi" or "Who is in the 6th Coffin" or Whose this or Whose that......Why not do something that we all do and be patient and WAIT to see what is revealed instead of trying to make random ass threads that don't make sense in the first place or have no logic to them. There is so much that could be or couldn't be so trying to guess especially when it comes to active manga's such as Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and Fairy Tail is borderline insanity and even if someone happens to make a proper guess they would have inevitably ruined it and would in the end make more retarded ass threads titled some shit of "I KNEW IT!" or "I was Right" Which in it's end result could be counted as spam.

Suggestion:

:| Well there is little to nothing the mods can do about them seeing as they pop up like wildfire during a dry season in the summer on the west coast. But the members could benefit and help out by not responding to such threads and ignore them because they could actually end up ruining the manga for others since they are indeed spoiler threads for those who do not exactly read the manga or had yet to read it in the first place thus making more members angry and might inevitably cause flamming or inappropriate things said.​

:rofl: I actually had that encounter recently regarding the first idea. It sucks. I can't have a Maka (Soul Eater), Azula, or say like Kaiba, or Zuko bio because someone else has one and can say no. In that logic, no one can have Kakashi or Kakuzu unless you ask someone who already has it (I know it doesn't apply to them). It makes no sense.


However, I'm new to RP (Not the site though), and shouldn't be running my mouth. I'll probably get trolled or something.. But hey, I strongly agree because I can't use my favorite characters based on someone's preferences.

Second part was a big issue today. I think it'll die down by Saturday though.


Rep+ to you.

 

[Ouacus]

i agree

 

[Riku..]

For the first suggestion, yeah, I've always had a bit of a problem with the "copyrighting" characters and to an extent copyrighting non-special (as in they don't have abilities) weapons. As for bios, I mean, what's the big deal? I haven't had a huge problem with it because I'm the only one who uses my main custom character, but I just don't see what the big deal is if someone else has the same character. And while I do understand that the same thing isn't done for cannon characters (as in two people can have a Sasuke bio without needing permission) it does make the rule a bit infrequent. I mean, it makes it kind of pointless to not do the same thing for Naruto characters, because neither character was actually created by the user. But going back to the start, what's the big deal? Loss of originality? You didn't create the character, a manga artist did, and as such I'm pretty sure that it's you who's been stealing their character. Obviously if someone's duplicating your custom history that's a different story, but a picture? What's the problem? If people can deal with seven Sasukes and four Kazekages running around and not giving a crap about it, I'm pretty sure that I can just suck it up and stand another Riku being around.

As for the copyrighting weapons thing, there was only one case where I had a real problem with this. I saw an Altair bio being made and the person was not allowed to use the hidden blades because they were "copyrighted" (again, I don't get how you can justify copyrighting stuff that you didn't make, even if it's just for the sake of RP, but whatever) by the Varagian (spelling) Guard, but from what I know, the people who created the group do not actually have Ezio or Altair bios. So if the purpose of the no stealing bios rules is meant to protect originality, then how can you take away one of the landmark traits of a character despite not having that character yourself? I could understand if the Hidden Blade had some special abilities and you're stopping people from stealing those abilities, but just completely restricting a weapon that isn't yours? A bit far don't you think? All that does is leave room for people to start randomly copyrighting weapons into their bios.

As for the second suggestion... you said it yourself, not much that you can do but ignore them.

Custom bios IMO
Honestly, i agree with you, Zanji. about a month or so ago i made a Moka bio from Rosario+Vampire, and then a few days after that another chic made the same character bio but it was completely different. My bio was Moka Uchiha and her bio was Moka & UraMoka, an SnK bio. She didn't ask for permission to have the same character bio because 1). she didn't know about it and 2). because the history and the style of the bios (mine being uchiha, her's being Snk) were completely different. when i found out i was cool with it. didn't really care at all, but honestly if someone wants to have a non-Naruto character bio while another person has that same character, mix up the history and do something different with it.

Manga Threads IMO
Again, I agree with you on this. those threads didn't make a whole lot of sense because the person who made the thread didn't think it through and didn't add much thought into it. Although, there have been a few who had explained why they think that and it made some sense, but it's not gonna change the way people think now is it? Personally, those threads were their own opinion. Now as for what happened today, that's completely different. They saw it, freaked out and wanted to get it out of their system right away. They didn't care if someone else made the same exact thread, they just wanted to express there thoughts (even if they were being bashed or flamed). As you said, it's better to ignore them and let them be on their merry way.

Custom bio:

I think they should leave it as is but change some of the rules about it.
E.g The person that holds the custom bio has to have held it for a certain amount of time(example: 3months or more) before they can tell someone that they don't give you the wrights to create it.
That would also bring up another set back like; other people may have made the bio around the same time as yourself and they could just say yes. So I say that if the person who created the bio first, says "No, you cannot make it"
then the person creating it should be allowed to make it if at-least 30percent of the other bio carriers say yes. Also if any of the bio characters create a bio that has restrictions or needs a test to pass and they say "I'll be dropping......bio if I the pass test"
Should automatically count as them not owning said bio due to they are going to drop it.
I don't know if you'll be able to understand because I'm confusing myself a bit. xd

Agrees with this.....to a point.

Though I will not lie, I would probably be quite miffed if I saw someone with a Loki bio. All the Asgardians in the world and you had to choose Loki? Why not Thor (other than for Thor the Rper having one ) or Odin, or Heimdall (who I did think about making quite awhile ago..... I mean Idris Elba played him to absolute perfection...). But if it was someone making a Mandalorian Clan Loki Laufeyson bio I would be miffed like I said. But if someone made a Loki Uchiha bio (Although I made one of them too a long time ago......) I could care less. I just think when a person comes up with a bio, they put their heart and soul into it, then for someone to come behind them and just rip their bio is rather messed up and quite sad. To ask for permission is one thing, especially when you know the person has this bio.

The Manga thing.......you all know we hate it, but just ignore it. To be completely honest, when I see threads, I look more for the name of the person making them than I do for the title of the thread themselves.

Familiar Name = Glance to the title
Unfamiliar name = skip
Complete and utter boredom = glance to each title from pages 1-6....maybe even further.

Custom Bio's

I agree that a lot of character bios are unfairly restricted to one person. As you said, if its a popular character from a known manga it isn't your unique character. Its a copy of a character from another manga. If someone needs to ask your permission to make that character, you need to get permission from the creator of that manga. But if you're using the image of a very obscure character from a lesser known manga I think you could make the argument that its unique enough to copyright. Who would determine if the character is obscure enough? No idea.


Manga Threads

I agree that threads with the sole purpose of saying "I knew it" and stuff like that should be deleted when reported. But as for threads expressing ideas for who Tobi is or stuff like that, I'm fine with them. As long as they're not completely idiotic and add to the discussion they should be fine. The writers put twists and mysteries in the manga to keep us interested and to generate speculation. Isn't part of this forums purpose for us to discuss our ideas and theories with each other? So, in my opinion, as long as the thread has a coherent point that's relevant to the manga it should be allowed.

Copyrighting non naruto custom bios is stupid for sure and I always thought it was a fake rule anyway ( besides luffy and mugi for some odd reason) my custom bios have been side characters anyway. ( kid magnetism bio, Mr.Popo, Mr. 1 )
