User blog:PolarTem/Proposal: Wanna Adopt My Pencil?

The evil tyrant SpongeBot has striked again, and it looks like SpongeBot's recent proposal to rid proposals to adopt fanon works is gonna pass with 75% support. Some may say that that is a good thing, as spin-off rights and stuff can no longer be taken away from you in a blink of the eye.

What you need to realise is that people have to support and oppose on proposals, which wouldn't make it that simple. Plus, the only way now to gain fanon works from other people is to ask the owner, but that isn't possible if the owner is long gone.

So, today, I propose a compromise of sorts.

Here's what the policy wil be as of tommorow:

'Proposals to adopt fanon works are invalid. Community consensus applies solely to policy changes and rights/demotion requests. If you'd like to attain control over someone's spin-off, you'll need to recieve permission from the owner themself. However, this rule does not apply to adoption requests passed before February 21, 2018.'

Let's just realise that SpongeBot can't spell 'receive'.

And here's what the proposal will be as if this proposal passes:

'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.'

Thank you.
