User blog:Dog of War/Chaos God policy

Hello there! While browsing this site I've noticed the surprising amount of Fanon Chaos gods on this site, and the "range" of emotions they encapsulate. I propose there should be a stricter, more defined policy on these articles.

What is a chaos god?
Chaos Gods, in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, are often seen as the overarching villains of the setting. With their involvement in the fall of Emperor and the Eldar it's not hard to see why. Chaos is possibly the most dangerous enemy to the galaxy (although Tyranids could also fill this role), and at the centre of chaos is the gods.

Chaos gods are powerful entities that reside in the warp, formed from strong emotions/concepts. They create powerful daemons to carry out their bidding in the mortal realm, and command legions of men that hope to receive their twisted blessings.

The Main gods
There are four main chaos gods in 40k that possess various traits. These gods by far have the most power and command the most followers.
 * Khorne - Hate, rage, violence, bloodshed
 * Tzeentch - Ambition, plotting, change, psychic powers
 * Nurgle - Mortality and morbidity
 * Slaanesh - Lust, greed, pleasure, pain

Minor Gods
There are several minor gods of chaos as well.
 * Malal/Malice - Anarchy, Terror
 * Ans'l, Mo'rcck and Phraz-Etar - Unknown aspects

Making a fanon god
One of the most important things to note about the gods is that the main four pretty much run the gambit of emotion, leaving little room for creation of your own. Currently on our site we have the following chaos gods.
 * Arzal'uth - Time and insanity.
 * Dejitar - Love
 * Fihyrilar - Fear
 * Maldizmus - Disgust
 * Nrunnkel -Boredom
 * Praxia - Longing
 * Syntara - Compromise, Rationalization
 * Vyrsatu - Shame
 * Tarhaank - Greed

As you can see many of these gods possess similar traits to the "big four" chaos gods meaning they are redundant.

Policy
I propose to make sure each god is unique and appropriate that one must need an admins permission to make a god. One must tell the admin of what makes their god unique, who follows them and what emotion they represent.

What if my god doesn't get accepted?
If you are denied the permission to make a god you can re-adapt your ideas to instead create a powerful daemon who is subservient to one of the "big four" chaos gods. Alternatively you could make a daemon prince instead.

Conclusion
I invite the admin team to voice their opinions down below on whether this policy be implemented. If you are not an admin feel free to voice your own thoughts on this matter as well.
