I think we should just go ahead and outright ban unfinished stories and delete them on sight. The current "give them seven days" rule is more of a hassle than anything else. More than that, it's rarely taken advantage of.

There is 100% no good reason to post an unfinished story. There is some method that a person can use to type their work instead of the wikia editor. Even if they don't have Word, they can download Open Office, use an on-line word processor or even type it up in an e-mail and save it as a draft. More importantly, nobody's work needs to be posted before it's finished. There is never an urgent need to upload your a story.

At the very least, the rule needs modified. I'd say three days maximum to complete a story. That's more than fair for something that, again, there's no reason to be doing. Also, there should be a minimum length requirement. If someone writes one paragraph and then at the end they go, "Oops, gotta go! I'll finish this lata!!!" That's bullshit. They shouldn't have even started writing.

I think it would just make the process easier and do more to deter this kind of thing.
