Ok so i'm going to address a few things in my reply.

1. "You're failing to realise one simple thing: these restrictions are on such simple things. Overloading characters, Kekkei Genaki spamming, power stacking, improper formatting — why are you chalking these BARE MINIMUM requirements for creation, to extreme quality control? This has NOTHING to do with actual quality control, since if we truly decided to crack down, there'd be less than 4000 articles on this site."

As far as I know all of my articles were properly formatted, infobox, sections, everything. Also the way admins enforce the rules is questionable at best relying on their own interpretation of said rules and often enforcing them selectively. And that's before taking grudges or unhealthy relationships between user and staff member into consideration...

1. "What people make is a reflection of the people running the site and the credibility of a site. An indication also of what we expect from our users if they choose to contribute to the site. I've been a member of this wiki for 10 years and a hunter-nin for 5 years now: so I've seen the site literally at its absolute worst — and our adherence to the MoS over the last year has clearly led to a site wide improvement in terms of article quality. The ends justify the means. The decision to eliminate certain troublesome articles removed that damaging influence and has effectively made it such that no users get a hall pass because of longevity."

The ends justify the means? Bullshit. You guys only care about what people publish on here because of a possible injury to your vanity? That seems pretty selfish to me. You go after people like me because somehow we make you and the site look bad? First off the stuff staff are doing now wont help your case and no one speaks up because it's useless and none of you would listen to us anyway at this point. In fact going after certain users and their work due to makes staff look worse in my opinion. If people somehow make the staff look bad which I highly doubt as there is zero evidence of such, a real man would tough it out and not give a fuck, not go on an entire deletion war just to preserve their reputations at the expense of others. Indeed no one likes improperly formatted articles, but if an article is properly laid out there is no reason to target users in fear of a nonexistent threat to the "credibility" of the site or it's admins. As for the so called "Uchiha Plague" blame Ryun Uchiha, Seigetsu Uchiha, and Sayuri, for the most part for that...

2. "Any changes to the MoS are always announced, no matter how minor, and the community has always been free to discuss it. The fact that nobody but you and the esteemed fellow in the comments have chosen to hit out of them is rather telling."

That is not what Achlus told me, as he said the MoS was changed late last year and he deleted my stuff because they did not comply with the new changes. Also as I said before, talking is pointless if admins and sysops don't budge on their decisions. The fact I was not notified of any changes at all and likely no one else was either and that's another possible reason why you don't see people complaining more often, they don't even know things possibly changed.

Regardless of intentions there are still things admins and sysops should not do. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
