Characters

This is a fandom, accuracy should't matter. I say any variation of characters should be allowed (there are plenty of ways to manage them too). Let's be real you all, a very small percentage of these characters are truly original. If we're trying to build a community, we should work to inspire ALL ideas, no matter how cliched. ANY idea has potential and if we gave them all a chance, even weakly inspired characters can blossom into something phenomenal. It would make HTFF look better as well.

Episodes

Again, this is a fandom. How can a place be about creativity and definiteness all in the same time? So what if an episode is short? Maybe that was the intent. Even if a user deliberately decides not to finish an episode or requires assistance, I don't think we should pressure them to get the job done. Doing so could potentially make them less inclined to complete an episode and suppress other ideas in mind. Understand that quality work takes time. (And we're only a fandom, perfection really shouldn't matter at all!). So what if the idea's been seen before? That's most of the time (and the originality here rarely stands out anyways, mainly due to the rules).

Images

This is a fandom...inspired by Happy Tree Friends, mind you. I can understand why rousing content shouldn't be too big of a focus (let's face it, we can't avoid it completely. And even then, it's not like we all handle it the same), but "inappropriate" shouldn't really be in HTFF's vocabulary. It's easy to manage photos that have been uploaded over and over again. We've done it with our ideas, characters, episodes, and it pretty much applies to bases as well (really, you all?)

These rules don't evoke a very passionate spark as it concerns creativity. We can help each other out if content doesn't seem to be "up to par" (like that should really matter in a fandom). If it bothers you so badly, perhaps you should consider approaching the author, artist, ect., figure out how expressive they aspire to be and help them get there, and uncover an underlying secret about their works. It could inspire you too Also, we've proposed the (dubious) crossover rule several times now. I don't see anything about it up here. Maybe if it were, users wouldn't bother publishing them on HTFF before all crossover pages were scheduled to be deleted. As you can see, it devastates the creator's responsible and I don't think it's fair to them. 1ME, you're, you're one of the wisest people I've met. This is 100% perfect, we should add this ASAP.
