I know I'm not staff and all, but I got authorization from Ant to do this thread.
Anyways, it has been noticed recently that there's some profiles that link to off-site "Respect Threads", which list a bunch of miscelaneous feats and statements.
The problem?
Such threads don't follow our standards, but rather the ones of elsewhere if anything, and so are misleading for our purposes, for example, a respect thread can "conclude" that X character is MFTL+, but in our terms it's actually deemed an outlier, or in other words it's about the same as featuring vs threads from other sites on our profiles, which currently isn't allowed.
If we're going to feature feat/statement compilations on pages without the purpose of explaining a setting as a whole (As many explanation pages currently do in here), they should be posted in the site first as a blog post or page (This is pending consistency, but that's an issue for another day), and be accepted for it.
In a nutshell, we need some guideline to (most likely) ban the featuring of off-site respect threads on profiles and probably specify that this content is allowed if it's made within this site and accepted or so.
