User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/A notice regarding the deletion of Player Stories/@comment-1965468-20120724233723/@comment-26744861-20120725193954

Silver88Surfer, try to see this from the perspective of an administrator. We try to make everything here as nice as possible and we try to do what we can to stop little things like bored vandals, spammers and profanity from detracting from that. A primary issue with the Player Stories is that they get highly abused to the extent where moderating them is difficult and if you look at the Abuse Log, you can see what I'm on about. How would you feel if you tried to keep things friendly around here but found it difficult thanks to the extensive abuse on Player Stories pages?

Yes it may have been unfortunate that it got to the point where the easiest way to deal with the problem was to eliminate it but it really is not okay for someone to go and write a load of cruft which disregards out policies and even more importantly, it's not fair that someone can do it to say a mainspace article and get blocked for it yet they can somehow get away with it by doing it to a Player Stories page. Yes the Abuse Filter does catch problematic edits but a lot of the logged actions were actually false positives generated because it was widely abused before we even had the Abuse Filter implemented and the profanity filter applies across every mainspace, not just Player Stories.

Starting a resistance won't get you anywhere and while I do believe you're not the only one upset by this, it seems that you're provoking a rebellion against a community decision. It's like fighting a just cause. You have every right to be annoyed based on your views upon this; I'm merely just giving you the insight of this from an administrator's perspective.
