<a href=http://sw-fans.net/forum/CharacterDB.php?s=>The Character Database has a New Look!</a>
With this new look, there are some updated rules of which you should be advised.
General Rules:
1. One "persona" claim per individual character. To clarify: You're still allowed to use more than one character but, for the purposes of the database, you're only allowed one claim. So if someone else comes along and wants to use a character you're using, but have not claimed, then they're entitled to.
This is to prevent persona-hoarding; It's not really fair for one person to claim multiple actors/personas, especially when they often don't use their variants.
2. Submissions must be for presently registered forum character names only.
3. Submissions will be made in the Character DB submission thread (this one) and will include the exact spelling of the registered name for which the claim is to be made. If you use a shortened or lengthened or misspelled version of the account name, it will render your claim invalid. Please pay attention.
4. Six months of inactivity on any account will require the holder of the persona claim be contacted (this is not the staff's responsibility). If there is no response to the contact, PM, email etc... (within seven [7] days including the day the email/PM was sent), the persona claim is forfiet and the DB entry is deleted. No Exceptions
If there are any questions, direct them to the staff via PM. This thread is only for posting a change to your character claim, or adding a new one.
Rules for those who add DB entries (mods and group mods):
1. You must verify a submission meets the above General Rules, including verifying the registered name exists and there are no persona claim conflicts, before making the new entry into the DB.
2. Be sure your spelling is correct wherever possible, most importantly with actor/actress names and registered user accounts. Make sure once the entry is added that it properly links to the user's profile.
3. Before editing an existing entry verify there are no persona conflicts.
4. Document that the entry has been added, edited, or denied in the public submission thread.

Do a search of this thread to make sure you aren't already on the list. Also do a search to make sure that your claim is new, and not already claimed by another account. If you click the headings at the top of the database, it will alphabetize the entire column to make it easier to scan.
When submitting a claim for a cartoon/anime character, or a game character, please specify which catagory the claim falls under, to minimize guessing on the part of the staff.
