Profiles that're technically correct but excessively minimal definitely have their own purpose and can be handy, but we'd like to facilitate fleshing them out before they're sorted into the abyss accepted profile section.
These will be sorted into Name Reservations, where they can stay for up to 6 months from the date they're sorted into it to become full-fledged characters - this should give users plenty of time to have their upcoming litters or finish getting their thoughts together for the character.
Spotsaves cannot be roleplayed until they're finished, just like profiles in Corrections Needed. After 6 months spotsaves are deleted, their names are freed up, and any information that was actually there is PMed to the user. A spotsave can't be reposted a second time as a spotsave by the same person.
What qualifies as a spotsave/namesave?
This is subjective for now to avoid just setting a slightly higher bar for what qualifies as minimum effort. A spotsave/namesave is any profile that is so minimal that a CDO looks at it and goes "yeah, that's a placeholder for a character that's coming later". If your profile is just a name, height, weight, breed, with an extremely brief personality and no additional information...it is probably a spotsave.
If your profile is sorted as a namesave but you feel that there's been a mistake and it's a full-fledged character:
Just post and we'll review it again, like with most stuff. @cdos: please make sure to post any disputed spotsaves up for everyone to look at.
Anyways:
- even though we say "namesave" this rule applies even if a profile's sharing a name.
- if you feel like your profile should be an exception because it doesn't make sense to flesh i
