Hm, raising the age? I feel like such a move wouldn't really make a difference. There's the obvious dilemma on how the staff could go about enforcing this policy. Online, anyone can pretty much say anything and there's really no way to prove or disprove it (including age) and I feel like at this point it's kind of too little too late to really implement something like that. The damage has been done. Doing it now just looks like a delayed reaction more than anything else. Just my opinion, though. Still, those points you made are all too familiar. I recall admins posting screenshots on the chat of angry messages from kids about how their pastas were deleted or how they would get their revenge on the Wiki on the chat. Good times, good times.

You know, I was never much into Pasta readings. I remember having lots of friends who were really into that stuff. They'd think Mr. Creepypasta or Cryaotic reading Pastas was the greatest thing ever. I used to think, "Why does everyone think these are so great?" This may sound weird of me, but I always found the best "narration" to be that little voice in your head that you hear when you're reading a great story. I feel like having someone else reading them for me is a distraction.

And yep, that's the saddest thing of all. This went from being a place to just give yourself a good scare to...money scandals. Sigh. Maybe this Fandom/Wiki's name should be changed to "Corruptpasta".
