We are now instituting a new 'spoiler rule' in applications for ongoing series (Animated, IDW, etc). Spoilers can be a very touchy subject, so we'd like to minimize unnecessary and unwanted exposure to them in-game.
As a result, the pull-point for any character from an ongoing series must have been publicly available for at least a month, whether you're talking comic book or cartoon. We feel that a month is sufficient time for those concerned about being spoilered to get caught up on the material.
Due to sometimes erratic movie-release schedules, this rule may be adjusted when a new movie comes out. While a cartoon is usually available on Youtube the same day, there's sometimes several months between a movie release in the United States and one in some areas overseas. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
That is all.
