Awelp, I thought I'd jump in with my two pennies as I was mentioned in a message and I want to clear up some slight confusion. While I do think that some stricter QS would help bring the overall quality up on the site and maybe bring some new life into it, I am concerned about an outright purge of most stories without verifying their quality as that's likely to hurt anyone who was active on the site.

It really doesn't sit right to delete stories without fully reading them as you're likely to delete the good with the bad and discourage the people who did post their stories here. I know it's more time-consuming, but I do think that Skel's approach was more beneficial on the video game pasta situation where he read and deleted stories accordingly. I took the same approach when working through the poetry section on CPW and while it did take longer, it helped a bit more while being fair to the people who put in the time as the poems where the author did put the time in still have an opportunity to be read/enjoyed.

I know I also turned down an offer to Admin on this wiki and help out and you may feel like this is the more efficient approach, but I feel like this is a situation where it's important to weigh in on something I feel could be detrimental to the site as a whole as I do think the Spinpasta wiki acts as a good place to get attention for your stories and work to improve them. As this wiki hosts about 659 stories, I understand that that's a lot to sort through, but deleting all but around sixty is likely going to hobble the wiki and discourage authors who have had their stories pulled without being read.

I think that a little more time is needed for more people to weigh in and a possible alternative approach to work on this. Maybe this wiki can enlist a group of people to weigh in on stories so the work is divided and easier to handle. Given that this post has gotten some people to weigh in that haven't been to the site lately, I think this might allow for a more open process. If need be, I can try to chip in a little. While I don't have the time to fully admin due to everything we talked about, I can sort through a section or two in my free time and mark for review or deletion if that helps.
