Honestly, i thought the point of this wiki was to catch all the spinoff crap from the main one so I don't see a reason to ban it here. I think such stories are beyond played out, but this wiki was made with the intent of hosting the stuff banned on the primary wiki. If banned here as well, then it effectively bans it from the main site as well. In theory, someone writing sonic.exe pastas could have a brand new approach and post it here and see if it gets posted to the cpwiki. Does this mean you have to appeal to get it on spinpasta now too? I don't frequent this site much. I am aware of ofther wikis that would host it though. There are at least 2 creepypasta wikis that cater to gamers. There is still an outlet but I can see the concern, despite not caring for the pastas myself.

There's the thing: Spin-offs: Valued. Crap: Not. An overdone cliched story is effectively the same as a trollpasta, except one difference; trollpastas are deliberately bad. And yes, you would have to appeal it. The simplicity of the fact is; yes, we cater to spin-off subjects, but that doesn't mean we have to continue allowance of a cliche, nor does it mean we have to continue to allow stories that overshadow original spin-off works. In my original forum post that banned said pastas in the first place, I gave two links to said original stories in that category; and they were excessively hard to find.

You see, this wiki was made with the intent of hosting spin-off pastas to certain original works, but that doesn't mean we have to cater to every little thing the primary wiki says they don't want anymore. Doing so demotes the value of quality on the wiki.
