I agree. I don't like the rule, and frankly, if I can't nominate characters over a year old, then I'm not going to bother nominating. It isn't fair and it's not accurate to the title of "Best Original Male Character in a Competition Story". The winner of this category will actually be "Best Original Male Character in a Competition Story that is under 365 Days Old but May Not Have Won Had the Voting Been More Fair." :P I understand the All-Stars thing, but why not just make a rule that characters cannot be voted for based on their All-Stars appearances if it's really such a bother?
