1) I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a contradiction. Because sometimes there are certain elements to the appearance that differ from the FC they show (like general clothing taste). So sometimes a picture isn't enough.

3): First off, if you don't save your progress on a doc you are asking for trouble in general. That's the only time where any of this becomes remotely a issue. If enough people bring it up as an issue then it will be address. But we have had quite a few applicants and it hasn't caused any problems. Even people who aren't super familiar with proboards haven't been turned off by it.

4/5: that goes without saying. If a link isn't working then it's an oversight that was made in all the recent changes, and will be dealt with accordingly.

7: Another way you can word passives are flavor. You know, things you can add that make sense IC but don't affect things mechanically. I don't see anyone really being confused by this.

8: That was something I myself inquired into at one point. And I would have edited it before you came to the site if I was on staff at the time. It's one of the things I'm going to have to reword when I go and make the limited and banned magic more clear.

I'll bring up the blind length and adding in more defensive specific stuff. Since there should be more benefits to picking that specialization. But stopping fights from ever happening is impossible. I have been RPing for over a decade now, and have been a staff member on all but two sites I've RPed on. No matter how airtight your mechanics seemingly are, there are always people who manage to find some type of loophole and try and abuse the system. So rather than frustrating people with mechanics, it's best to rely on goodwill and a honor system for most RPing. And people who take advantage of that will be dealt with, as I said before.

I appreciate your opinions on this. If you would like to do more, perhaps you can submit an application to become a staff member. We're likely going to be needing new members in the future with how busy things have become for some members. Otherwise, just trust in the staff to do our best.
