Would it be possible to get a waiting period after registration before pastas can be posted to the main Wiki? If you check, the absolutely worst drivel is posted on the day the person registers. Impatient ten year olds will move on if they can't add their Slenderman game fic instantly. I also think this would reduce the quantity of trollpastas.

Serious writers would take the opportunity to read good pastas, learn to use the Workshop, etc.

Just an idea. Tell me what you think.

I've got a simple solution. A small grammar test. Something to test the basics. If they score below an 80%, then a timer of perhaps 3 or so days comes into effect. After that time frame is up, they're able to post stories. If they're really wanting to come up with a good story instead of videogame story, they'll wait that long. And those are the kind of writers we want. Dedicated ones who want to create a good story. For those who pass the grammar test, they should be able to start right away. Obviously they have the experience to write and therefore, who are we to prevent them? Just some food for though. Personally, I myself am a new member, finally deciding to create an account yesterday. I've known about this site since March I believe.
