User blog comment:EtherBot/Let's Talk Deletion!!!/@comment-31283382-20170211142434/@comment-25947144-20170211143820

This site is for the users. However, the users don't always know always know what's best for them. The admins proved themselves to be worthy of judging quality by doing high amounts of quality editing over extended periods of time. I trust their judgement. If the users decided what should or shouldn't be deleted (we already kinda do that, with the tags) this would turn into a popularity contest, and as I mentioned in other places, the masses are stupid. And as said in previous comments on this blog, this isn't exactly a place for beginners. There are places like Reddit or Creepypasta.com for that.

You...do know that you could have simply asked them to give you a more in depth explanation for why your stories were deleted? Or that you could have used the Workshop?
