If you are a subscriber then yes. RP won’t allow more than five to go through unless you area a financial supporter helping defray the cost to run the servers. It isn’t not set to automatically approve.

Thank you for clarifying. I thought it was some sort of glitch.

Is it intentional that I can't change character when editing my posts?

Edit: Never mind, now I see that can do it when NOT editing a post.

How many characters can I create?

For now, users can create / manage five character sheets that they can post as. Subscribers and other financial supporters can create / manage ten characters. This is for two reasons. One, part of this is manual for staff. Two, we wanted to give Subscribers something extra as a thank you for helping us. MLPForums needs Subscribers to stay up and running. Later down the line we may be able to create a way to make a one-time nominal contribution for unlimited characters. So ... TLDR Users have five and Subscribers have ten.

I would like to see the option to add more characters lost. Maybe up to 10 because a lot of people I RP with have more than 5 character.  I don't see why the slots have to be limited to only 5, it feels restricted and as a role-player, it is disappointing to only have 5 slots.

You can have ten characters if you are a subscriber.

@Starforce That would be nice, I only use 3 for now, but only because I can't decide which characters from my ask threads to add there. If there is something like 10 slots, then I would be able to add them all. (Subscribing is beyond my limits as well.)

That isn't the point, this is to increase it for those who are unable to subscribe, as I am.

It would be nice to have ten for non-subscribers and twenty for subscribers but they made their choice for a reason.

Well, that reason could be changed. As for someone like you, you have a lot of characters you use so it would only be helping you.

It would be helpful and I am sad needed to sacrifice poor Applejack but I'm sure I can find a different way to include characters I "can't" use

like I do in my "Ask My Little Ponies" thread. 

Although, there are only so many colors I can use to represent them so the ability to change character avatars is helpful.

Yeah I also wish that for those of us who aren’t subscribed could have more. I scarified two characters so I could make two more characters(still waiting approval on them.) Now I only have one slot left and I’ll have to be extra picky on who to fill it with.

I have at least 3 more I could add but the limit wouldn't allow me.

Yeah there’s definitely more I can think of I’d like to add but with having only one slot left I have to be picky about it :/

It sounds like a "pay-to-win" from what the reasoning is. It's a bummer but it makes sense to give subscribers incentive.

Doesn't make limiting it to only 5 an agreeable option, personally.

Expand  

 

10 at least would be nice I agree, but they probably figured single RP-ers didn't use that many characters in the first place.

They've altered it so I had my two other characters approved. So I have 7 now

Expand  

 

I wish you could add two or more characters to a post (Two at least.) if you had more than one character responding to someone.

I know it probably wouldn't work but it would save page space.

We do generally want the system to show only characters that are routinely used so that people can PM users that have recently used that character.
