Because before we created those rules, we used to have way too many spam pages. People would create pages that would have nothing to do with the site or create fan pages. We are at the point that if we do not enforce rules, we would once again lose the wiki, after it took me 5 years to finally put it in a working order.

Now if you prove yourself, then we can work some stuff out that would allow you to do more. But it's a learning curve because most of our users just come to add to a page or not. Just the other day we had people adding inappropriate categories and curse words on pages. One time we had some guy delete 10 pages and renamed and redid another 20 with pictures of his penis and then claimed that this was his wiki now. This is the stuff we are trying to avoid.
