You were following the thread but you applied 10 days after the thread was closed?
I kept track of the thread that was changing the standards for Hypertimelines, no the ben 10 one
The point is not that you read the standards and decide whether that would qualify or not, but that the person who opened the thread opens a new one after the standards have changed, leaves the previous one in place, and waits for the new one to be accepted. This means that the thread is moved to a new one. Which means that the previous one is no longer relevant.
That is not how this works, the thread was on hold because another one covering the information accepted was opened, however since that other one wasn't accepted and in fact never concluded, then it leaves the accepted status of the previous one untouched, thus making it so that it can be applied, i looked through the rules and found nothing of what you are just saying, so i don't think i am breaking any rule here
also i asked Reiner if i could apply the thread since the other one was closed with no conclusion,
and he said that i could, so i assumed that if even the OP of the thread was ok with me applying and nothing on the rules said that i couldn't, i just assumed that applying the accepted thread was just natural like any other accepted thread
You arbitrarily applied something to the profile that was clearly moved to another thread.
It was not "moved", another thread on the topic was created and then not concluded, the previous thread was accepted, i don't understand what you mean by "arbitrary" in this context, i also don't see in the rules anything about "not applying accepted thread because another one on the topic was created", i don't understand what rule i broke
And strangely you say that the thread was accepted and should be applied, but you do it 10 days after the thread was closed. How strange
i didn't even know that the thread was not applied until now, if i did i would have applied it sooner, i don't know what is strange about it? i don't participate too much in Ben 10 thread nowadays
