In two days (September 21st), all stories that are not in one of three categories will be deleted from the site in an effort to purge it of very bad quality stories. These three categories are:


 * Category:Suggested Reading
 * Category:Classics
 * Category:PotM

The Quality Standards will be revised and made significantly stricter in addition to the purge.

There is a reason for this. Spin-off stories are generally held to a higher standard than original works; many of the ones here would fail the QS on our sister wiki.

Spinpasta should be holding spin-offs to this higher standard. You should be able to have a genuine shot at appealing your spin-off to the Creepypasta Wiki's spinoff appeal for it to meet the QS here - no, I'm not saying it should be guaranteed to make it. I'm saying that it should be good enough that it's actually a possibility.

That being said, if your story gets deleted and you feel that it would meet the revised QS you may post a Deletion Appeal once the purge has been completed and the new QS posted. If the story meets the new QS, it will be accepted and restored.

I realize that quite a few of you may not like this, but please be patient with us. If your story is good enough that it gets through the Deletion Appeal process, the increase in quality on site should help your story get more exposure as the removal of bad quality stories should help attract a community to the site.
