Trust me, I've seen it myself and I get it. But it's not our problem if the people won't listen. We need to make headway in how to deal with Tier 1's.

@Dragon: Which leads back to Ziel's comment of why people make them like that: They just make op for the sake of OP w/o ever learning about the tiering system for a just a bit longer. Hell i even linked Prom's blog about Tier 1's and 0's on the Tiering page and most people still don't learn.
And that's true, man. I've dealt with cases like this since LAST YEAR starting with Ziel and now sometimes with Prom and Exo. On all cases, the users just don't know when to even bother to learn a little more/

@Exo: I get what you mean tho on making some kind of thing on how to handle them. The thing still, is that in the end (one way or another) the creator ends up just not doing what i try to help them with AT ALL.
@Dragon: Yes. And given the other days recent events of it plus having dealt with enough of Redgraves overpowered and broken BS OC's (for letting them be on here), i decided it was time to really just stop all this freaking BS that i've let slide on for too long since i adopted this wiki last year and do something about it, along with anyone here whose willing to help out on this.

Thanks you two.
Anyways aside from later hearing on what Ziel has in mind for us to do, i think we should temporarily put up a rule to not make any more Tier 1 pages. Ones that have already been made here will stay tho for the ones that are in such bad quality, we ned to take care of that.

It'd be hard to make comprehensive restrictions on the creation of Tier 1 pages. But;
- Tier 1 pages should have more depth and effort put into them than the bare minimum, and should be complex and interesting enough to differentiate themselves from other characters and stand out on their own was a character not created simply for the purpose of having a Tier 1 character.
- Tier 1 pages should show at least basic understanding of the subject matter.

@Promestein:
Those seem pretty good enough, tho Ziel may have something in mind like it or similar.
As for the pages, Prom? I'd rather we go and just delete them off. Those like the last four that Minus have does not seem like he's planning on fixing them anytime soon. The one you just linked now is something that Blitz would have fixed.....if he were still around. You can delete those now if you like. Of course on most of my cases dealing with them here along with you, Ziel, and Exo, it's best to at least keep a few and ask the creator another time to try and actually fix them.

Once again, that was something me and Prom were originally going to do at some point. Since all of us are essentially here + Ziel is willing to help out for a bit, we can try to set something up like what Prom put here.
The rules are in need of revisioning work.

Rough idea: Have a thread for Tier 1 pages, where people post newly made Tier 1 pages for review by staff about whether or not they meet the criteria.

@Prom: Hmm....not a bad idea, actually. This may be better than just any of us looking at the tier 1's (or even 0's if i may add) and just to point out the problems with them and such. Like if they fully meet everything, it's good and little to no problems will be met with them. If okay but could be improved upon, definitely make some pointers about it to the creator and hope to see if they can improve it or not. If it doesn't meet even one of the criteria's, inform the user of the page immediately about the problem and, if they don't fix it within a certain period of time (like a week or two as Ziel said), no choice but delete it.

Also Prom since we're also going to be doing this, you should also update your blog about these tiers along the way too as well, in the sense of making it more "clear" as to how they are if possible, going by our talks of this up til' now.

I am not exempt from this either. I have used tier 1 pages left and right within the thread, without really taking the time to edit them. I meant for each of them to be legitimate in their own ways, but it certainly did not turn that way. I get that some like Lillie, Behemoth, Azrael ( Who i noticed got deleted a few days ago . ) , and quite a deal others do not fit this criteria. From no on, i will do my best to make good quality pages and be as active as possible. Yeah ... ...
- looks over Xeizerevia, Behemoth , Michael , and The Four Houseman , then facepalms -
Those "oc's" were pretty bad. You can delete them honestly ... I honestly do not think i can make them better, as the creativity for those characters was lost half a year ago.
Oh by the way I might not be on as long due to high school business. But i will definitely try... - pledges -

I don't really have much to add on, but I do agree that as of now, there should be some re-workings on the tier 1 rules.
Maybe someone already said this (gotta re-read this thread), but even if someone has the nessessary 5,000 bytes, the justification for that tier still needs to be good or clear, and not just 5,000 bytes saying "[He/She/It] is the strongest being ever!" and leaving it at that, or making that character feel like you're saying that.
I found that there's this neat thing for OCs called the Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test , where you take a test on how much of a Mary/Gary Sue your character is. It's used on the Death Battle Fanon Wikia for OCs. It's a pretty long test, and not many people have time to do this, but maybe we can do something similar for here. Maybe do a thread of questions people can answer, or something along those lines.
IMO maybe we should simply be more clear in saying "You must have a reasonable explanation for your character, be it explained in-universe, their personality, etc...", or even give tips to the creator of that character, push them in the right direction.
(Oh god, this reminds me of back in 6-7th grade when I created this dumb OP Mary Sue character that was supposed to represent me or something. Good thing that phase is over.)
And I believe that's all, hope I added something new. Oh, and one final thing, I like Prom's idea about reviewing tier 1 (and 0) pages. That would probably work quite well.

@Prom: Wanna give it a try like DBFW? I don't mind it being used here. Not sure as to how it'll help Tier 1's and 0's but i guess it may be in the form of "how overly OP they are" and such, i think?
And Mark's points are about as the same as the rest of ours here on revising and being more clear with the rules of making these kinds of characters, yeah.

Fair enough. The ideas that both made are pretty good and may very work here on us dealing with this problem we've been having since last year.
I'm willing to try this at least.
So we have the rules ideas that Xmark and Prom made, plus a thread idea that Prom suggested and maybe use a Mary Sue test that Xmark suggested here.
Anybody else here good with this?

I'm all in for this. I agree with everything.
Although, won't the tier 1 thread be filled with text really quickly with the backstory and stuff needing to be 5k bytes?
Also, I think we should create a custom Mary Sue/Gary Stu test, as a ton of the Litmus test aren't related to combat/abilities nor story/explanation, and taking the Litmus test for every OC is going to be extremely time consuming.
I'm extremely sorry for only giving input now, I was doing other stuff.

I agree with the test.
- 8,678
- 5,556
It'd be difficult to create a custom test. It'd probably be easier to do the Litmus test, even if it is time consuming. It is comprehensive and will pick up on non-power related power issues in a character.
- 8,088
- 1,541
It would be quite helpful to use an Litmus Test. I also agree that some of the litmus test take an awful amount of time, so maybe something short, yet effective in usage ? And yes, i also agree with setting an limit and to add more detail to the explanation of an specific oc's tiering. Good thing i remmber Hitomi's Litmus Score...^^ .

Definitely true that we made our own custom test for high tier characters as Prom noted. Though either one we do will be time consuming, actually.

Aside that: Exo, Prom. Would either/both of you are willing to check up on these profiles that Ziel has presented to us here and see that they are as what he noted? Also Ziel i did made that exception rule to the bytes requirement if you look at our OC creation rules page but i get you'd want us to at least get the full one...
