I understand your concern and share it. I left many pages unlocked for a very long time in the hopes of this. And yet it's a constant deluge of sexual jokes, people fighting over what gender they think characters are for absolutely no good reason, people editing dates because they don't agree with them (I don't get this one at all), people just straight-up deleting random things...I try to leave all pages unlocked except for some Ovenbreak pages. LINE pages, HBC pages, and Cookie Wars pages, along with all non-cookie pages should be unlocked. The amount of misbehavior on Ovenbreak pages requires at least a good chunk of them to be protected, at least for the time being. There are quite a few that aren't locked, it's mostly the ones who get it bad such as Whipped Cream or Moonlight. (Someone kept deleting all the content off Moonlight's page and renaming it to Noon for a while, as an example of what was happening there)

I am definitely considering lifting the protection back to users who have accounts though on some pages though. I've been thinking about this for a while. Hopefully it's understandable why the action was taken in the first place.

Edit to add: In reference to what I was speaking of earlier, action had to be taken on Cream Puff, Soda, and Walnut's pages because of repeated malicious changes to the dates (particularly on Soda and Cream Puff's pages) and IP ban evasion. I would basically wake up every day expecting one of them to be vandalized. The first two were unlocked for years, and Walnut was unlocked after about a month of being released.

Second edit: Spoke with another admin about the issue and we agreed that downgrading protection on some pages to be users with accounts only may help somewhat. Will be doing this, hopefully it will go well. If it does not then pages may become locked again. However pages that have been subject to large amounts of vandalism will stay locked at a higher level for the time being.
