Loosen quality standards without losing our power users
Our website relies heavily on user generated content and power users that edit, curate, and moderate that content. Recently the amount of content contributed to our site has taken a nose dive. 

Looking at the data, we're finding that a significant portion of our new content is getting deleted by our power users. Our moderators are even banning enough new users for posting poor quality content that it looks like we won't be able to sustain the growth of the community on our site.

How do we convince our power users to allow more content, even if it is somewhat lesser quality, without alienating our power users?
