User blog comment:Artimas Hunter/Even More IRC Stuff/@comment-1314424-20120928021148

I agree, Ive noticed that a lot of new users come on here, and use this place as a social blogging website a lot of the times (with all the tedious, everyday life blogs a lot of people come up with), and thats not bad, but this is a fanfiction place, not facebook.

Also, as awesome as more fanfictions are, I think we should work on the amount we have. Not in the "story stop" way, but more in the "cleaning out kinda way". I mean seriously, a lot of stories on here are either empty, half edited and never edited again (Im guilty of that myself, and since I cant delete pages Ill take this moment to ask one of the staff members to talk to me about it), and really really old with the user not even being active. Ive brought this up as an issue many times but I feel like it hasnt been heard. There are almost 3800 articles in here; do we really need that many? A lot of them wont be read either, so what really is the point?

If needed, I can go through many articles and suggest them for deletion. Because I think the 3800 articles on this wiki is kinda, whats it called, unprofessional in a way, because it shows the lack of censoring and oversight that we do to weed out random, half-assed stories or stories that havent been edited for years.

Deleting many of the stories could also help the moral of our wiki. Many users complain about not having enough attention for their stories. Well, deleting a lot of useless articles will eventually bring out and show the remaining, full and creative stories.

Omg sorry Arti for totally taking over your blog with my almost-essay xD, but I really think that this is a huge problem for the wiki, especially if this rule is implemented and we will have an influx of stories...and as I learned in my APUSH class today: When there is a problem, every member of that society has a voice and power to speak up and bring it to attention. That is how a democracy works.
