Well, the problem seems clear to me. If it was switched on the stupendous
amounts of crap you admit are there would be in the article space and not
everything would be caught. It would put a lot more strain on administrators
and the deletion system to get rid of things that shouldn't be there in the
first place.

Idea: There is a bot that evaluates articles in the newpages feed to see if
any are DYK worthy. Perhaps we could apply a similar bot to find gems in
AFC?
