Proposed Change
A DIFFERENT PROPOSAL ON COSPLAYS HAS BEEN POSTED, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK
So, this is a new idea that we as staff came up with, and would like the rest of the shop to weigh in on. Please wait to weigh in until the Staff has all weighed in on this issue, that we might be able to put out why we have proposed this change.
The change is this:
Due to the amount of cosplays from the old shops (Mountain and Realm), and the amount that we either do not have images for, or have somehow lost the owner, we are proposing a wait period. This will be called the "Locked Cosplay" rule from here on in. We are proposing a period between 2-5 months of Locking a cosplay that is ASSUMED to have been done at some point. The reason for this is to give the shop as a whole, or the owner of said cosplay, a chance to come forward with image and owner. This allows us to ensure fairness with the new Cosplay rule that was put in to effect, and keeps us from stepping on anyone's toes, and having the issue arise that we have thus far.
Rule:
If a Cosplay is known to be taken, or even assumed to be, there is a MANDATORY "Locking" period of (2-5 months. Final time to be posted once a decision has been reached) in which we offer a chance for shopgoers and staff alike to search for the Owner of said cosplay, or the image. If said cosplay is not found within this amount of time, it is once again considered "Open for Interpretations", and is no longer restricted from use. This also means that if after this period, no image or owner is found, we will not require approval from the original owner, as the owner had not come forwards.
NO CUSTOMER COMMENT AT THIS TIME. STAFF, PLEASE COMMENT YOUR OPINIONS.
