on the motion for a block on OC. As an author, myself, I'm instincually ready to throw a tiff over this. Plus, if we stop the flow of OC, what benefit does this wiki get? We want the wiki to grow. We also want people to comply with the Quality Standards. While canning OC as a whole assures the latter; I'd rather have to read shitty pastas all day long in order to be able to upload my own works and help this site grow than watch the wiki stagnate due to a bottlenecking of works.

Overall;

I do gotta say, however; I'm thrilled that you're taking such a proactive approach to this issue. Many a kudo for you, sir. Trollpastas are forbidden from winning, and are uploaded to Troll wiki. Spinpastas, if they are good are still fair game. They are not against the rules of CPW. The main benefit of this is it means only quality stories are uploaded here. We will most likely have a dedicated group for reading nominations and making sure they meat quality standards. Another benefit is that any and all authors, bad and good, will be able to upload their stories without discrimination. The amount of pastas aloud to pass through is subject to change, anywhere from 1 a week to 30 a month (though that is a little much.) As a fellow author I sympathize, but this will allow you too get critique on your worse stories. Both of mine were deleted, and I never received a chance to get critique, and deletion appeals are slow and tedious for admins. The main issue with this site is it is TOO big, to the point where admins are worked to death. if we had a way to slow it down, while still having a steady flow of quality stories, this site would improve overalll.
