    Voted yes.

    Considering how small our community has become lately, I think biographies with staff approval should be enforced. I'm on other rp websites that are just as small as bob, and they use this system perfectly. They don't require a lot for you to fill out-- just a name, age, species, appearance, & abilities. You can include other details like personality or backstory if you wanted.

    I feel like current characters should be grandfathered in, and future characters should be submitted for approval from staff.

    In my own opinion, Bob has been dying lately. Our community has only gotten smaller, and we are not a huge, popular roleplay site. If we want to get Bob back onto it's feet, requiring biographies like every other small rp website is the first step. Requiring biographies shouldn't seem stressful or pressuring. From my own experience, when I got characters approved on other rp sites, I felt more excited to plot with other characters and wanted to focus on them more. So having required biographies can be a key to getting people plotting with each other, especially focusing in development.

    And Jiyu, on the site I'm on, if you wanted to make changes to the bio, you just have to notify staff you wanted to make an edit so they can make sure the edit fits site standards.
