why should we need a licsense?

[buddy418]

ill admit it, im new and i probably shouldnt be sticking my nose in splats work.

but im going to.

why do we need to apply for special permissions to do something we love? i think its insane, and i say ( im quoting this from every slig ive ever met) BULLSH*T

if i wanna start an RPG ill start an RPG and if it he doesnt want it there, he can take it off!!!

so come on fellow oddworld fans, lets RPG liscenseless, eh?

But then someone will make a really crappy one.
eg)
The Special Mudokon
There is a Mudokon who will change the world. His name is Ollie and you must save the world from the derpaderps with the power of the hidden shrine.
Fill out the character info and begin!

Oddworld Forums isn't a free country - actually it's not a country at all but you get my point.

Grandmaster Alcar hires the server space that OWF is hosted on. He pays for it, he's free to do what he likes with it except host child porn (actually I've always wondered what happens in employee lounge...). His Imperial Majesty has divided the website into individual forums and sub-forums (as is custom) and has set up a hierarchy to moderate these forums. His Excellency Mr Splat, Governor of the Fan Corner was denoted By His Imperial Majesty to govern this section of the website.

So you are not free to do what you like. If you want to create your own RPG do it own your own website. Regardless of where it is created I doubt anyone would join as there is little interest in RPGs here (usually only one, never more than two running at any given time); especially ones created by people with a poor understanding of the English language.

That's sadly all I can show, because in the over-zealousness of my early days I used to delete threads like that.
We have the licences to stop total noobs making floods and floods of awful RPGs, basically. T-nex started up the system when she was RPG mod before me, and I'm sure she'd love to justify it as much as I love to.

But basically it keeps out noobs, and lets me monitor what's going on down here. If you're not a noob and you know what you're doing, then you'll probably get a licence.
