If my memory isn't failing here, I think Michael's referring to a time when we had a couple users who were coming from a different fic site, where they were used to writing alongside fans who were pretty iffy regarding original characters. I think that was the cause of the issue; their site was used to picking apart characters they deemed as Mary Sues, and on here we try to help mold writers characters, if they ask for it.
