For instance I just wrote a Jeff the killer story myself called Will You Go to Sleep Tonight? Along with a file page on Jeff himself and Jane (who is also in the story).

I see too much potential in the "Jeff-inspired" subject; so banning it would not be the best choice. To much would be left undone because of it.

Also the "File Extensions" subject is one of the moments where people don't know how to use the cliches correctly like I mentioned earlier. I use this subject in alot of my stories and I don't want to lose everything I worked hard on.Cliches

So the big solution here is to let people know how to use cliches properly without killing the story for the reader. I've read and analysed enough Creepy Pasta to understand what makes a good one and what kills it entirely. People need to understand cliches and how it can fix their story or ruin it. So lets show people how it's done.

 The issue is, even if we attempted to teach people how to use cliches properly, cliches are still cliches.

Jeff-INSPIRED stories, i.e. they follow the Jeff formula but are not about Jeff or Jane are being considered.

Jeff stories will not be banned.

File Extensions, we could probably do something about.
