You made some good points there. It is true that most users join the site to mainly discuss about the series. When you strip these people from what they in the beginning came to do, you are driving them away from the site. I've noticed a decrease in the wiki activity after the post where we announced the limiting of blog posts, a.k.a the "plan c". I think a stricter blog policy is the way to go if we want to keep the wiki active, controlling and decreasing blogs will result in a loss of users. I contribute to the wiki more than the average user, but I enjoy discussing the series on blogs just as much.

Also, how we define an "interesting blog post" will come down to personal preference, you don't need to be gifted to realize that. For instance, a lot of people enjoyed the "vs" blogs while I found them mainly annoying and controversial. The same goes for admins and bureaucrats. In addition, most of the users on this site are young teenagers or kids. They tend to lack the patience of sending a request or asking for permission to create something on the site. They want to create their posts immediately when they get their idea. It is better to delete a couple of "useless" posts than to have blogs chosen by a few with small interest by the rest of the community.
