Talk:Character Adoption/@comment-25175729-20190329033751/@comment-209421-20190329113956

As an aside; I'd prefer to have suggestions as to changes that could be made to this page; not people coming in and pointing at things that could be done differently when they aren't offering anything constructive for consideration.

Simply pointing at the list and saying "the names are generic; what if they get made by somebody that doesn't know" is a perfectly logical question. I've removed names from the lists before when people used names that were up for adoption without adopting the characters to begin with.

I've been meaning to get around to revising the rules as well as how I approach the actual mechanism of "adopting" characters, since a lot of them go very fast a lot of the time and then never get fleshed out or used on here. Simply pointing to the list and saying "It's not needed because some of the names are generic and people might make those pages without knowing and then somebody else might adopt the page" both feels unnecessary while somebody is regularly active in moderating the page; and can be construed as a subtle insult towards my intelligence.
