User blog comment:EtherBot/Jeff the Killer: Creepypasta as Creepypasta/@comment-4998996-20171014195840

I was around when JTK was deleted, I was a chat moderator at the time. One of the reasons it was deleted is that while it was popular, it wasn't a good example of what a creepypasta could and should be. It was horribly written, revolved around an icon character with a shitty catchphrase, lacked any form of logic, and was overall just a complete mess. In order for it to stay here despite it falling so far below our quality standards felt wrong. How could we tell people their stories didn't meet our standards when they were better than that dumpster fire?

The rewrite contest, despite my distrust of the results, is honestly the best outcome for what could have happened to that story. With it bring rewritten to meet our quality standards it can be here and not seem like a slap in the face to any other stories here.
