Forum:Eliminating theories

I'd like to propose that The Sims Wiki eliminates Player Theory subpages (i.e. Bella Goth/theories). My reasoning for this proposal is as follows:
 * Theories added to these pages are often unsigned, sparse in content, profane or unacceptably hostile. For example, I stumbled on one theory that consisted of: "'hello. stop posting this trash and garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! our father works for Maxis and our mother works for Electronic Arts. so we know everything about SIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway our parents caught sight of these rumor pages and called the police to remove it. so we were mad and said that we would answer your questions so they woould not take it off and so you don't have to put rumors anymore.'" This was added as a theory over a year ago it basically constitutes trolling, which is unacceptable in its own right.
 * Theories are near impossible to moderate (see the above example) due to their size.
 * Most users do not contribute to these pages anyway - most of the theories were written by anonymous users who decided not to stick around.
 * Like the player stories situation, users wanting to perform maintenance on these articles are being caught up by the AbuseFilter because of the high levels of profanity on these pages.

Given that there's not a large number of these articles, I don't think we need to worry too much about how we are going to, if we choose to, delete them - a bot or even a user could do it.
