"Oh, we don't want properties that 99% of the time reap bad stories." Oh, okay, BAN EVERY POPULAR CREEPYPASTA. Like, are you guys serious? Anything that's popular is going to have fan fiction of it. That's the point of this wikia. If it has terrible spelling or grammar, if it's a wall of text, I can understand why it'd get deleted. Or if it's sticking too close to the source material, I can even understand that. But Xelrog T. Apocalypse is completely right in saying that these rules are a projection of personal taste. Sorry, I shouldn't lash out against my own admins, but you guys are basically saying "we only want really good stories here." Really, "what we determine to be good stories." Why would this even be a wiki that everybody can edit and upload their stories to if you don't want what 90% of users will bring to the table? There's a reason we have a Suggested Reading category. So that if anybody just wants to read good pastas, they can go there.

So here's what I propose:

Have you ban on the "hyper realistic" phrase. People rarely use that anymore anyways, and anybody who does probably also wrote an unreadable pasta.

Make a temporary ban on file extension pastas. Maybe a couple months, even a bloody year if you need to. But don't make it permanent.

Do not outright ban BEN and Jeff-inspired stories. Not not even temporarily ban them. They produce no more bad stuff than other spinoffs. Hell, I belive that straight Jeff/Jane stories produce worse. There is so much potential with Ben and Jeff-ish, and there is no plague relative to all other spinoffs.

I'm probably gonna get a fuckton of backlash for this comment, maybe even deservedly so, but I cannot stand when people running anything make decisions based on subjective judgments. Look, I don't know what made Calasan's mind pop up to cliche/blacklisted such and to hit it on the wiki, this thread seems to be going through and pretty fine, telling some of that honesty. I agree with your comment Cashman, but like I said earlier we can't do anything about it.

I thought this was Spinpasta Wiki too, the place to-OH, BETTER YET, Creepypasta Wiki does not allow blacklisted/spin-offs of any kind, why not here if this wiki was made probably basically for some blacklisted stories, or spin-offs of any kind??? That is a question waiting to be answered.

'''I'm not trying to be rude or harsh, I should of addressed this a long while ago. I didn't have a problem with any of the blacklisted stories or such.'''

RE: " but you guys are basically saying "we only want really good stories here."

Not me, not even anyone in the wiki. You know, I never thought this would happen.

Anyways, I won't do anything else. I can't do anything about it. Calasan wants this to be it, what else is next?
