Geez, I didn't realize my previous suggestiom about the seperate wiki would cause so much arguing. The changes to the rules I suggested should have a stunning effect on the amount of copies and clones that are uploaded, but they won't work forever. Fact is, you're always going to have some uncreative git or someone that's "inspired" by a pasta and uploads something that's essentially a carbon copy. This is true for every category, not just the video game pastas.

Giving them their own wiki wouldn't solve the problem because that would only load up yet another offshoot site with the copies and clones that we didn't want here. To me, that's only sweeping it under the rug.

And while banning the category would be the best solution from a rules standpoint, it wouldn't go over well for the users of the site. People that wished to upload something original would get turned down by the ban and go elsewhere.

So the only thing that would benefit everyone would be making the guidelines official, albeit with some slight changes to them so they're less strict and menacing.
