What happens when someone ruins your vision and places some actors or characters that don't belong with your characters?
Stupid kids like jesselee don't take your word for it and ignore your complaints, because they're the boss and they do whatever they want!

To those of you out there... you know you can make those stories yourself. Right? That's more interesting than forcing your own perspective onto somebody else's business!

Users have their own story they like to make! It's not yours to put in Disney or Thomas the Tank Engine characters in it! STOP DOING THAT!
My story, my rules, you're welcome to help but it's not your story to mess around with!

So true, man. I know people can have their own opinions, but so DOES the story owners. If you don't like the actor suggestion then you have the right to vote 'NO', and if you like it then vote 'YES', it's as simple as that.

Because this always happened to me sometimes, i often put warnings and reminders on the character role descriptions.

And then there's also those who spammed multiple random actors and characters on a role using the 'Advanced Search' feature.

One could consider that as an act of trolling because most of the actors and characters that were being spammed for the role were not even a good fit, especially if u did that on someone's story.

Even if they made those stories themselves, they're still gonna try to force their stuff onto other people's stories, often using clone accounts to boost their ego.

There's many examples of people like this on the website (Jesselee and MatthewChadd were primary examples here, along with that one dude that Tildeheart talked about in one of the recent forum posts), and it's just annoying tbh.

My story, my rules, you're welcome to help but it's not your story to mess around with!

I've been upholding that principle for a long time here. Had several experiences where people casted the wrong actors on my stories, so i had no choice but to put some rules on my own stories.

For examples:

1. Let's say, if i want my story to only have Japanese actors, then non-Japanese celebs are NOT allowed.

2. Or this, if i don't want super popular celebs like The Rock, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Chris Pratt, John Cena, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Gosling, or Keanu, Leo etc. in my stories, then that means they're NOT allowed to be in my stories, don't try to force them into my castings.

3. Last is me not allowing people casting several problematic celebs/celebs with bad reputation or basically people who aren't even actors (+doesn't have any good acting skills even if they did a few movies or so) into my stories.

It is one of the reasons why i put warnings and reminders on the descriptions of each character roles on my castings.

Imo, YOU made the story, so it's technically YOURS and you can do anything you want with it.

Although i don't outright vote 'NO' unless i think the actor in question is the one that i think not a good fit to play the particular character role. And I immediately block people when they cast troll suggestions or any kind of awful sh*t.

I agree!

Nobody seems to be getting castings right on my side.

The correct, precise or close ages of characters, the backgrounds, etc.

As well as if any of them can fight & sing.
