User blog:DontAskWhoJoeIs/Proposal: The Content Creators Protection Act

Salutations fellow squids and undecided! My name is not Joe, aka DontAskWhoJoeIs. As it stands, the current state of respect between TV networks and the creators they hire is pretty messed up to say the least. If the creator of a series wants to end their series with an epic series finale, this would not stop the network from hiring someone new to continue the series against its creator's consent. This kind of behavior and behavior similar to this should not be tolerated on this wiki. Below is the current policy 10. If You'd like to attain control over someone's piece of fanon work (such as a spin-off), you'll need to receive permission from the owner themself, if they are still active on the wiki. If they haven't edited on the wiki for at least two years, you may make a proposal to adopt such via a blog post. Anyone can vote, and it is yours as long as the proposal passes. If the piece of fanon you want to adopt is owned by multiple people (e.g. Basket Sponge), you must either ask permission from all the active owners, or proceed to create a proposal if none have edited in two years. In the unlikely event that the original owner does return, the rights will have to be given back if asked, after finishing any work that has been started but not finished (e.g. episodes). Spin-Off seasons do not apply to this rule. If the adopter is inactive and the original owner would like their fanon work back, they must ask someone of the administrative position or higher. Below is the proposed addition 10. If You'd like to attain control over someone's piece of fanon work (such as a spin-off), you'll need to receive permission from the owner themself, even if they are no longer active. You cannot make a proposal to gain control over the series. Why this is important If content creators KNOW they'd be able to end their series without having to worry about a different user practically stealing it, they will be more motivated to create an incredible series with the perfect ending, rather than feeling forced to keep it going forever until the series loses its steam and dies due to seasonal rot. Remember: Happy creators = a positive environment.

Note: This proposal would not prevent users from creating fan made spin-offs based on the original spin-off.
