The main issue is that there isn't any kind of policy set up for a lot of topics on this wikia. Even if you go to the policy page, the first line mentions "There are very few policies which apply across all Wikia" and later says "Other policies for this Wikia should be decided by the wiki community."

However without any kind of concrete list on this site, users can only base what the rules are on how users that have been here longer react. One of the biggest topics is debate on fan-fiction and it is agreed on that it isn't allowed here and should be moved to the fan-fiction site, but there isn't exactly a policy on it and if there is, there isn't a link to it in the policy section of our site. If the blogs are a user's own personal space, that would imply that things like fan-art, fan-fiction, or top ten lists are welcome.

Generally without a set guideline that people can easily read for confirmation, things like this will keep happening. You mention that offensive content or spam will be dealt with and for me, the blog felt like spam because based on the definition of spam, it was irrelevant to RWBY. There is also an Off-Topic area of the site and is labeled as such because it is for things not related to the show, so common sense would say it would go there.

Please don't take this reply the wrong way, I am trying to be respectful here and do my best to improve the site. However maybe the admins need to sit down and start writing up some policies. The Wiki will be 2 years old in November based on the first edit, but the only policies we have in place are for spoilers and editing with very few other guidelines to guide us in the more fuzzy areas.
