Of course, a lot of these writers would be exposed to the more popular pastas such as Jeff, Sonic, exe, BEN, Squidward's Suicide, Abandoned by Disney, etc. Why? Because they are the pastas that everybody knows, regardless of quality. They think that instead of having their own and unique pasta, the best approach to doing them tribute is by including their characters, or elements of their stories. Of course, this can be both a good and bad thing. Anti-Sonic_dll and Disney's River Country as examples both manage to be very much original and very well written, even if they are based on other pastas per say.

I want the fact that I am an admin over at another creepypasta-centric wiki myself. Is it as popular as here? Of course not, but it is still very much active and we do get at least one bad pasta on a weekly basis. I agree that it gets redundant having to delete pasta after pasta. I do know where you guys are coming from for sure, don't get me wrong.

But I don't have a filter up because I don't want spin-offs off of the wiki. I want to be able to have gems in the rough. Because of this reason, we get a lot of good pastas that trumps the bad ones, rather than being overpopulated with terrible and trollpastas.

But that's the problem, there's not a lot of gems in the pile of shit. This wiki is just understaffed to handle the flood of blacklisted pastas. You need to understand that it is a nightmare to maintain the wiki by yourself.

This is one of the cases that we need the additional help. Most users don't' want to help out the organization and quality of the wiki.
