And to this day, I still hear all the time about people getting stories removed because someone complained about them breaking some rule or other...when they didn't. They just deleted first and asked questions never, which means anybody with a grudge can do that to you for the hell of it.

Yup, true story. A while back they made a rule against "script format" stories. Apparently someone reported a couple of my old song parodies because they resembled a script format. A cursory glance by a moderator would have shown that such was not the case, but I don't think anyone gets even that much these days.

I wouldn't even have minded, if they'd asked me to delete them instead of having the moderators take it down right away. Maybe it's shallow, but I really wanted to keep those reviews... *sigh*

I still cruise ff.n for Silmarillion fic once in awhile, but any fandom bigger than that and it's just not worth the time.
