Hey guys! So recently, we closed making actors except for new users. The reason Lisha and I did this is because users have been making a lot of actors when a lot of their actors haven’t received any work at all. The wiki is getting to the point where it is being cluttered with unemployed actors and the rate that actors are being made does not work well with the rate that castings are being made. There also are rarely any males. So I think we need new rules for actor making. Not only will new rules reduce excessive actor making but it will also keep a balance of employed actors with unemployed actors and females with males. Here are rules I came up with:

I'm not sure how well this is going to work, I had some trouble deciding the numbers of actors. Please tell me what you think and how we can improve this.
 * Once a user has four actors, they cannot make any more until at least one of their actors has received work with Wiki Channel.
 * Once a user has six actors, they cannot make any more until at least two of their actors have received work with Wiki Channel.
 * Once a user has eight actors, they cannot make any more until at least three of their actors have received work with Wiki Channel.
 * Once a user has ten actors, they cannot make any more until at least four of their actors have received work with Wiki Channel.
 * Once a user has twelve actors, they cannot make any more until at least five of their actors have received work with Wiki Channel.
 * The amount of actors you have of one gender can only be 2 more than the amount of actors you have of the other gender.

Also, I think that adopted actors should be an exception to the 14 actors rule (7 males, 7 females). The 7 actors male/female rule is just to prevent having too many actors on the wiki. But when you adopt an actor, you're not adding an actor to the wiki, you're just taking one over. So I don't think adopted actors should be included in the 7 males and 7 females rule.

Tell me what you think, thank you! Once we decide on this, we should be able to open actor making to everybody, again! :)

Remember, more pitches and castings are needed! :)
