User blog comment:Resident DeVir/The Mental Illness-Category Is Driving Me Insane!/@comment-24486291-20140423030813

Back in the Days of Ago, we had the OC and Death categories. While these were useful, they basically turned out to just be tags that anyone could put on a story without one just for the edits.

It's the same with the Mental Illness category.

I agree with you on how it's bullcrap how much people abuse the damn thing because they're such intense pointsgamers, but unfortunately, we need it. There are a few good Creepypastas that actually kind of require the tagline. Perhaps we could have someone go through and unmark some of the stories that aren't actually very Mental Illness-y.
