Even if it may seem silly to you to blacklist certain subjects, it is necessary to deal with the staggering number of bad submissions we get on a daily basis. Spinpasta Wiki, on the other hand, seems to be a fairly sleepy wiki, so MAYBE full-on blacklists aren't really necessary here. Before the ban on Sonic.exe, this was fairly active in terms of content. A lot of it was an influx of Sonic.exe stories- many of which got deleted. The amount of content overshadowed more original works, and attracted a number of trolls and idiots.

Unbanning it would allow for more activity, but at the same cost; an accostment of bad quality content and trolls.
