Just a general community question
Question for all the other mods out there: When do you feel you need to cap male or female characters? I've been modding for nearly ten years and I've always done it when there are five or more of the opposite sex. I don't often see games capping. I was just curious. I know it can be a pain in the ass. Some weeks there are more females, others more males. Sometimes a cap can last over a week and there are pending applications. I'm just afraid the players waiting to hear back about their applications are going to lose interest.

TL;DR

Simplified: When do you feel you need to cap male or female characters?

As a writer and mod from years ago, I don't believe in caps on gender. I feel like it screws with possibly line filling as much as just new blood coming in. Some writers aren't comfortable playing one gender vs the other, while others might really want a brother/sister but they can't have the writer who wants to fill the line do so, due to a cap. I do, however, believe in comms posting rules that state 'you can have x number of characters but at least x number must be male/female' so they guarantee those writers who want to have a ton of characters keep the ratio more fair.
