There will be NO copyrighting of character outlines on this forum and it is NOT up for discussion. It is completely immature and ridiculous to try to "claim" an outline as your own and demand that people who use the same outline credit you. Unless someone is ripping your images, title-bars, banners, or quotations, do not whine about having an outline "stolen." Stealing artwork, writing, music, etc is an entirely different affair.
In a similar vein, do not take something that is unique to a character or character information and use it yourself. Be original, you'll only annoy people by ripping information and "style" from someone else.
My final suggestion: Imitation is the highest form of flattery. If someone creates a profile similar to yours, take a deep breath and remember that they're only using it because they like what you started.
Once again, this is not up for discussion. I don't want to be a forum-tyrant, but there are some things I simply will not tolerate. I've seen how out-of-control these profile "copyrights" get on other forums and I don't want the same situation here.
