Stamping Question Changes
Aaaaaaand now, stamping question changes. Most of them, we can't really change because there are still a lot of people that think they're helpful, and the mods have discussed problems with a few questions some people proposed to add, so we just have a few small changes this time.
1. Cheerful/gloomy -- A few of the mods saw problems with this one, so we're trying to change it into a better dichotomy. So far, I've got cheerful/stoic, and Tako's got cheerful/serious or playful/serious.
2. There were some proposed ideas for changing cheerful/gloomy to idealistic/realistic, but the two are a bit... different? However, a lot of us thought idealistic/realistic is a good idea, so we're proposing that as a question.
3. We are proposing to change the FF "relates to character" question to "looks up to" instead, because "relates to" skewers votes too much in most cases, whereas looks up to would be more open. For example, Breyzy says if someone says they relate to Zack, if you're deciding between Soldier and Thief, most people would be very easily pushed into voting Soldier. Whereas if it's looks up to... If for example someone says they look up to Zack and strive to be like him, then that might tip them into Soldier. But if someone says something like, they really look up to Yuna but they don't think they can have her kind of resolve, it doesn't necessarily mean they're White Mage, but it does tell you they find resolve important, which might actually push them into something like Soldier or Dragoon.
Um. And I think that's it for now and I hope I haven't forgotten any.

As for other rule changes, we'll propose them at a later time (but soon)!
So far, the current things on the table are:
1. Fanworks Bazaar - sunflower_mynah is on a lot of things for it! Including the proposed new layout, which you can check here if you haven't already.
2. Low-Entry Contests - chacusha is making a few options for low-entry contests that will be up for voting sometime.
3. Stamping Difficulties - We know a lot of people are a bit frustrated with stamping, because people seem to connect keywords to certain classes and just jump on them. We'll have an activity soon to help rectify this problem a little bit? Maybe? And hopefully make voting easier.
