You have to understand that while, yes, this is a public wiki and people are invited to contribute, that does not mean that you can just do whatever you want. There are rules and expectations that everyone must follow. Just like if you went to a public pool, there would still be things you would be expected to do, and you couldn't just hide behind, "It says anyone can swim here." and not get kicked out if you were running around dangerously, diving in the shallow end, not wearing a swimsuit, etc...

Point being, you still have to follow the rules. They are put in place so that the site can be enjoyed by everyone. We admins don't delete stories just because we feel like it. Believe me, as a human being there are times when I wish I could. So, if your story gets deleted, the first thing to do is go to the rules page, and see what you may have done wrong. If you don't find anything, then the next thing to look at is the quality. Was it really short? Did it lack a lot of detail? Were there a lot of grammar and spelling errors, foul language, or otherwise "NSFW" content in the story? Any of these could be grounds for a story to be taken down, if bad enough.

The most important thing to remember, though, is that we admins are human beings too. Saying things like "What the hell is wrong with you?" isn't going to win you any friendship or sympathy. It's going to offend and irritate people, and then they're going to be less inclined to help you.
