I have a plethora of reasons that might start arguments but I'll just stick to two: one, if there's a recolor at the top of the page then it's really pointless and if there's is one hidden then it would otherwise cause some people to stay away from a possibly very good page.

This is more of a question but when do we draw the line when it comes to recolors or is there not a line, are they just all bad? I'm asking because some of ones I see are technically recolors but they're pretty good.

The issue is with that picture, is the fact is that it is not a recolor. It has major edits and changes made on it. If it was a simple green rouge then yeah that would be a recolor. But what I am seeing right there is a entirely different character. I honestly thought any creation that uses an official picture from Sonic X or anything else is considered a recolor... It depends on the length of edits made on it. This picture is heavily edited and turned into a personal creation. Now if it where something like this:

This here is Negative Shadow, a past user who decided to post this picture wayyyyyyy back when and called it an original character. But this as you can see was a blatent recolor. There are other recolor options such as just making Sonic Red and making no other change. No edits made cept a pallet swap. That is a recolor.
