Deleting stories to keep the quality in check is not something you just do to "be a dick". It's a lot of hard, tedious work, and it doesn't help when people are constantly yelling at you for it. It's inevitable people are going to be angry about it. That's their writing that they've put out into the world and, at least in their eyes, put their heart and soul into. It can be a bit demeaning when it's deleted with only a message like "fell below quality guidelines." Try putting yourselves in their shoes. You spend a lot of time putting something together that you think is really great, almost like raising a child. And then you show it to the world to see what they think, and it's deleted for reasons of "quality control."

Now, I can't speak to the myriad of trollpastas and pastas with little to no effort put into them, because I can see where you'd want to delete some of those, but when you're attacking low quality, you're inevitably going to tread on the toes of earnest writers who are just amateurs trying as hard as they can.

Just my opinion. Otherwise, I trust the moderators' discretion and appreciate their hard work.
