yes, this is a valid concern, and I’ve thought of it before

there’s a few things on my mind about MC submissions, quick summary:

1) as you mention, basically animating someone elses OC, or taking someone elses fire pack and simply making it into an MC – don’t think this should be allowed

2) as a result, MCs should really be “new” and “generic” things (not an OC walking, but maybe just random bystanders walking about, for a city sidewalk or something)

3) there will be different purposes to submitting an MC – an animateable effect -OR- a way to submit a “pack” of your figure, but all joined together already (no assembly required once you import the MC and “Break Apart” it)

4) for the animateable effect MCs – what about tweening? MCs can look “wrong” if not animated properly anticipating the end user will use tweening – should this be a priority issue, aka deny any submission if not tween friendly?

4a) what about thumbnails – honestly I can’t be tasked with thumbnailing *more* stuff as ngl my workload for approving stickfigures is quite high, so MC submissions will somehow have to be accompanied by a PROPERLY made animated thumbnail and, no offense to users, but the “average user” as a hard time following guidelines

…

that’s kinda my thoughts on it right now

lots of questions, no answers

i just saw this on the subreddit actually
