Fandom purges are miserable. Don’t be a jerk to people scrambling for a new place to go.

a real person looks at all abuse reports on AO3;

if enough people report a fic on AO3, AO3 won't let people keep reporting it, so that the volunteers' time isn't wasted going through 3000 reports;

IF it violates AO3's terms of service the author gets a warning and plenty of time to amend the violation;

most AO3 TOS violations occur in the tags or author's notes and are things like linking to the author's patreon or forgetting to tag a major archive warning or CNTW -- things it's easy to fix!

the only common thing I see that AO3 would delete (after warning the author!) is "not a fanwork" violations, where someone posts a request for prompts or something, and there's no actual fic or art;

AO3 tends to err on the side of keeping something up because they are a not-for-profit dedicated to giving fanworks a place to exist online, not a for-profit website that needs ad revenue to stay up.

If people are harassing authors, that sucks and authors should take measures they deem necessary to be comfortable. If they want to, yeah, they can delete their fics. It's always a good idea to download your favorite fics, because fics get deleted all the time for lots of reasons. But AO3 isn't out here deleting fics without warning and for no reason.
