User blog comment:Kiefer/Finally LyricWiki Becomes Ruined/@comment-26239285-20190404081618/@comment-1540683-20190404235000

From what I've seen in my recent lurking, it is a bit of both. Long-time users were searching for a solution. The portion of the users that wanted to ignore the rule just kept re-uploading the images and the lyrics. There wasn't much discussion that I saw between LyricWiki editors and Fandom representatives. It was basically "This is what it will be, so deal with it" and the admins and users left to figure out how with little to no help at all. This issue bubbled up in the Community Portal in 2017, and then with no other apparent input, word, or complaint from Fandom that I can see, the site was frozen a little over 2 years later by Sansse, who has made one deletion from the site in 2018 and none in 2019.
