I actually sort of agree with the OP here. Stating "write a quality story based on a banned subject?! Impossible!" Is pretty short sighted and is, frankly, a little insulting to people who have a bit of writing talent. "Just use the spinoff appeal page then!" Sure that's a nice thought. Except for the fact we haven't accepted a spinoff on this site for about two years. In fact last year when I was trying to get a spinoff on the site it was rejected in part according to the admins because they were in the process of getting rid of spinoff appeals completely (the fact the page still exists to the contrary). To your last point that "the site will be flooded with horrible stories!!" So what, I say!? We've got a bunch of admins. If the stories are that bad, Empy is evidence for how quickly you can take poor stories down. And without any real evidence other than my personal observation to back it up, the wiki traffic and participation is waaaay down from the site's heyday. Maybe increasing participation at the cost of the admins deleting a few more stories wouldn't be a terrible thing.
