(And frankly, given how many atrocious fanfictions (not just for Survivor) there are pretty much everywhere else on the internet, I think it's a good thing.) In case you haven't noticed, the quality of the fanons has actually IMPROVED as of late because of these high standards, and that's a good thing.

Plus, Ian goes out of his way to warn people about potential deletion at least once before he actually does, and then he gives them ample time to resume work on them. It's not like he whimsically deletes any page he doesn't like.

Furthermore, don't you think it's just a little bit immature for you to bash a wiki bureaucrat in your exit speech? No its not immature, it is the right thing to do. It was an advice and if you cannot take it than you are the one that is immature. Just because you are an admin it doesn't mean you are not wrong. '''My main concern was the fact that he expects me to make an edit every week. This I think is complete bullshit because no one has time for it''', especially me. Hello? Have you noticed how almost a dozen people here are able to make many edits in a week while still managing school, work, and social lives? You may not have time for it, and that's understandable, but to say that nobody has time for it is completely asinine.

Look, you're just as entitled to your opinion as everybody else, but there's a time and place to share them, and in pretty much any context, bashing people in an exit speech makes you look petulant as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I disagree with your complaints about Ian; I think he's done a great job bureaucrat-ing this wiki. His policies may seem strict at times (Not going to lie, that was my first impression when I first came here.), but he just wants quality over quantity. He means well. He's not a tyrant. Quality over Quantity? Not everyone's quality is as good as Ian. And who is he to decide what quality means? It  can mean anything. This is suppose to be a fan-fiction where players are able to freely write their fanons. It is about expression. And yes, this has been my experience with Ian. You may be more friendly with him since you a regular member but not me. And those dozens of people that make regular edits are probably middle-schoolers. I am about to enter a university and the ammount of pressure is huge. This was just my advice and not a bash. I wasn't even referring to the quality of your fanons as I've never read any fanon other than mine. I was referring to your commitment and that only.
