As you all know (or, at least, you all should know), we have been having some copyright issues over the past few days; at least, we've been called out over the past couple of days.

Even now, we're trying to tackle the problem as best we can but a the deletion of many pages is to be expected. There are perameters over these deletions and not every page that isn't cited or OC will be deleted. We are going to try to find the author of every pasta that isn't cited if we find that the pasta already complies with our content guidelines in the first place.

As we speak, a bot is being set up so that us admins can have an easier time finding and iscolating pages that are neither labeled as OC or has the author cited in the story. This will then make the second (aforementioned) step of sifting through these pages to find the good ones and the others that will be deleted.

Hopefully, this will make our job much easier and more time and energy efficient. As such, this is expected to provide a great deal of help in sidestepping a looming DCMA.

Thank you.
