I use it regularly since that's where I had the list of results for Fill in the Blank recorded.

Fortunately I still have all the responses logged in a spreadsheet, but that's a hell of a lot less convenient to look at, and it isn't publicly accessible.

It is technically against their current creation policy:

https://www.fandom.com/community-creation-policy

Living people

Please do not create communities or pages (even humorous ones) about living people who arent publicly notable, including classmates and teachers, gaming clans, forum communities , YouTube or other social media personalities and more. Even positive articles about people can cause unnecessary drama and may become a tempting target for personal attacks, cyberbullying, unwanted exposure of personal information, and other violations of Fandom, Inc.s Terms of Use.


Not that I agree with it, nor do I know when they added that rule. I would assume it was added sometime after the Wiki's creation and it's just being retroactively hit for it.
Too lazy to update signature right now.

they have a reopen request form

even if they say no, I'm hopeful they'll at least let us have some time to recover all the contest-related images (since you can't get those from GameFAQsContests.com anymore)

wtf @DToast
It was a different staff member. However, according to the staff member who made the report, it was reported by someone else and was removed due to community creation policy violations. I reopened it after explaining to them it's mainly used for contest archiving. So I'll reopen it, but I would remove any page about users, otherwise it may just get closed again.

I was working on deleting the more personal stuff already, but I don't really see the need for those pages either anymore

There's always someone petty enough to report.

I just wouldn't risk it and would pull all user pages, not just the problematic ones. It's not worth losing the data we actually care about over user pages

because you can see most of that wiki is contest archives and/or users with perfectly dry bios.

In order to conform to the letter of their policy, ALL user bios need to be removed, not just problematic ones.

Just for some context, @DToast , the person we believe reported this is a serial offender of sending harassing PMs to B8ers, stalking us to other sites, doxing us and literally mocking the deaths of users.
