Our Stage Persona Rules Suck

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Which standards are applied inconsistently? You are obligated to make your points clear. We ain't creating a new thread for this.

I never said anything about "we". Now if you're all done here, close the thread already.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Agreed just wanted to clarify

Apologies.

We or you, this is irrelevant. You are obligated to make your points clear on which rules are inconsistent.

 

[Agnaa]

Not at all what I meant by that.

Thought it was, since you responded to me saying that I'd clarify that the rules are about stage personas.

If I think the standards are applied inconsistently, then I'll make an effort to fix them. I'm not the kind of blue name to sit on my ass and complain when the site does something I view as egregiously wrong.

I really think it'd be better to hash it out here, but if you refuse, at least link that thread here when you make it.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

I will do so after work.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Bump?

 

[ImmortalDread]

Waiting for Fuji to list her inconsistent rules.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

I've been a little busy with other things (and work beat my ass harder than it usually does). I may have to do it either tomorrow, or tuesday/thursday. Apologies for the wait.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Dw sis.

What are the current issues of contention here?

What are the current issues of contention here?

Mainly the bit about stage personas that are "partly fictionalized", such as AVGN. I made this thread with the intention that such profiles would be allowed, but I feel the standards are applied improperly and should be altered again. I will be making a new thread in the near future to cover my issues.

 

[Antvasima]

I strongly disagree about including "characters" that are not truly fictional. My apologies.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

I wasn't contesting that. Just the standards we have in place to determine what is or isn't fictional for the purposes of this wiki.

 

[Antvasima]

Oh. That is different then.

 

[Agnaa]

The standards Fujiwara's pushing for, in that sense, would allow for a wide variety of profiles that we've disallowed in the past.

Let's players, documentary hosts, reviewers, educational personas, would all be allowed if they have occasional skits/lore, and don't go by their real name.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

I think there is an easy distinction between "real person talking to an audience through special effects", and "made up character for whom those special effects are reality".

I don't think it's that easy, given where the various lines have been drawn.

So as far as the WWE verse goes, we've decided that the verse is perfectly fine to use as long as the profiles follow the standards of the stage persona rules? Just asking because there's a new topic that has been brought up.

This discussion is broader than WWE but I think most parties have accepted the compromise of rules regarding the verse. You can probably begin your evaluations as to what profiles are probably fine to keep vs fine to axe. That said, this discussion is broader than WWE and concerns far more tenuous shit like the aforementioned YouTuber profiles, so be aware that this may change to better acclimate ourselves against just letting anything and everything be made into a profile.

So should we close this thread now, or is there anything left to do here?

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

I was asked to link the new thread I said I would create in here, but that'll almost certainly take me a lot longer than I had planned (because of the MGK stuff), so I don't mind if this is closed for now.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will do so then. You can ask a staff member to link to your new thread here after it has been created.

Seems you forgot to close this. I will do it.

Thank you to everybody who helped out here.
