Wut?

"Sure the writers I bring up could have done a lot more extra measures to get better, and I'm not saying we don't have resources to help writers get better (I personally think I'm a much better writer than when I started and I credit a fair bit of that to things like the writers workshop and feedback) but I'm saying the system as it is is (sic) sort of makes it a bit unpenretable. (sic)" So basically what you're saying is that despite having a system set up to help authors that are starting out, it is 'unpenretrable' when the onus falls on them for editing/reviewing their stories seems very flawed and shouldn't be taken into account when they fail to provide the basic amount of focus themselves. Clearly this lack of focus/skill falls on staff for not 'advising them in scenarios they likely would have ignored in the first place given their refusal to try to improve basic writing/effective story telling.'.

We do our damnedest to help authors. Our quality standards, deletion message (which link standards, site rules, and writer's advice) give this much information. It seems kinda of lazy that someone would complain about this system when ignoring it results in piss-poor stories that have numerous issues.

"I do appreciate how in depth your response is but all it's basically saying to me is "But look at all these really cool aspects of the site!"". So why didn't you use them? Seriously? Why, the fuck not? What did you have to lose in the first place, beyond you pride, (considering your stories, I really wouldn't consider this too much of a sticking point.) Remember that all someone needs to poke holes in your reasoning is look at your talk page... In the end, all I can see is someone saying, 'what you're saying is that these system were available, but the authors did nothing with them...? And why exactly would they think their stories would be appealing given they made no efforts to revise them or improve them?' I'll let you think on those questions while reviewing the number of stories other admins have previously deleted of yours.
