The problem is that this site is being used wrong. Wikis are not meant for posting original content, they are meant to document already existing content of a specific nature. So if anything should be banned it should be pastas without an original source link. You realize how little pages would we have?

How many great pastas that are enjoyed around here wouldn't exist, if it weren't for the ability to accept original pastas?

How gems like several of the PotM and similar wouldn't have even been thought if it weren't because this place could host them?

How little content to read there would be? How repetitive it would be to hear the same thing of the already overused pasta monsters and happenings?

Accepting original stories is what has made this place what it is right now, a great source for great stories, and it is one of the traits that distinguishes us from any other creepypasta places.

Suggesting not to accept original stories is, by far, the worst idea I have ever heard, in the time I have been a member of this Wiki. And, having been a member of a year and half, I have heard countless suggestions.

We already have quality standards, enforced by Admins and several members. We have our way to control the crap that occassionally get posted.

But there is no way in hell that we'll stop receiving original pastas.

That is all there is to say about the matter.
