The Vote is Over, The Semi-Famous prize will be done away with, anyone that has already used one, will be allowed to keep it if they wish (or if they want they also can trade it in for a different prize, but only if they want)....
Hello Sweetie! The Doctor is in.... Allons-y ~The Doctor Bach
The following voting has ended. If you disagree or want to re-open for another vote, please contact an administrator to do so. Please do not modify it.
Based on the debate Forum:Recognisable and Famous, I am not putting two options to vote. There will be no option to keep things as is, because as things are is clearly not working at all.
Now please keep in mind, the first level of voting we've been doing for ages and ages, most vote incorrectly. It was never if you feel they are or aren't too famous. The regular image voting is, always has been, and should be, do you or don't you recognise this person. If you do you vote you do, if you don't, you vote you don't.

Options Explained[]
Option #1[]
We will open a voting forum, this voting forum will be for Chatmods, Rollbacks, Admins and Crats only. There will be some basic guidelines as to how to decide if someone's "too" famous. Things such as how many TV shows or movies have they had starring roles in (not small parts), how long have they been getting starring roles, or on the other hand how long has it been since their last starring role, an so forth. Narrowing down to how many users can vote, will help to hopefully keep bias out of it.
Option #2[]
Do away with the prize. However, to be fair, any user that has already used said prize shouldn't be punished, and should be allowed to keep the model, if you disagree, please add a note in comments.

Personally I don't see why this needs to exist as a prize in the first place.

yeah i personally think the prize is well, kinda dumb :/

Well it's not only that, but the award is a pass to break the rules. Rules are there for a reason, and thus breaking them as an award is kind of counter productive in my eyes. I'm sure better prizes can be provided without compromising policy.
Flamefang (talk) 18:20, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
I tend to agree with Flame on this one. There are better prizes that could be used and this is just a way to get out of a policy.
Mazsqurad was here :P (UTC) 18:24, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
I'm not voting, but just to note, like all the prizes break a policy in some way, not just this one.

Yeah, but the others don't affect anyone else. Not even "char whoring" ones.
Flamefang (talk) 18:52, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
How does this affect everyone? Because some users can't use a recognised model and others can so it's not fair? I would think that's the same with someone winning lots of character spots.
Hello Sweetie! The Doctor is in.... Allons-y ~The Doctor Bach
It affects anyone who sees the image and recognizes the individual. Simply because a chemical spill doesn't exit an area doesn't mean it won't affect people who go into that area. The only reason we ever restricted character spots to begin with was because people could create so many that they'd be hard to keep track of, and in a sort of side attempt to make each character count a little more. Now of course they serve as a means of capital since we've assigned value to them, but since they aren't a limited resource, it's not like any need to be taken from one person so that this other person can have one extra. We can't end up with over-inflation xD

I got to agree with flame. The prize is kind of over the creek. IFW14~You would think there would be more pizza.- Lanson Gate" 16:13, September 19, 2013 (UTC)
