Sega isn't going to reply to anyone who asks to use it. I'm guessing that's why the first proposed rule is not to use official work in the first place? The administration team had already gathered and decided that allowing bases of official artwork into the site is allowed as long as it is a blank base. Expressions and general poses are okay. Tracing over a canon character's prominent features e.g. Sonic's spikes is forbidden.
