I was thinking re the Fanlore thing -- is it possible to file an abuse report through the OTW somehow, or even just send them an email saying that you really want this particular post deleted and think their policies should change? Because it seems like people are appealing to the editors, the editors go "Nope" and that's it, and I can't believe the OTW would be happy with that.

(Or maybe they are, who knows.)
