We have the wiki open to edits so people can correct issues and misspellings like this for example: "but the entrys (Entries) themselves should not be altered without at least notifying the author." Then again, I wouldn't fault her too much as that user does use screen reading software and there is occasionally issues in transference.

The second is (while small) technically correct. Numbers smaller than nine (unless monetary or temporal) are traditionally written out. It's a rather small pointless edit that's more for formality. It's a pretty common thing in most literature if you want to fact-check that. (Possibly the first bit of research you've ever done in this hissy-fit.)

The third was a mistake. We try to remove low quality images that users randomly add to stories and sometimes we slip up. I once reverted one users' edit to change multiple characters' names because they had switched user names and I assume it was someone actually vandalizing/altering a story.

These edits are small and frankly the fact that you are making such a big deal of this in the open as opposed to just messaging one of us (we have a list right there in the open) is childish.

Also if you had bothered to read Whitix's message on the story that you claim was deleted for being' badly formatted', you'd see there were more issues to it than that. Finally we do message users when we delete stories. We don't always have the time because on average we get 30 stories a day and a majority of them are written poorly.

Finally, please keep all capitalizing words, it totally makes you look like you're not being alarmist. Do your research before bitching at us. First off, I altered the title to include "and other users" as soon as I realized that little mistake.

Second, as anyone who knows me well can tell you, I use all caps for emphasizing important areas, as sometimes bolding doesn't quite grab attention as well, and since on some websites bolding text isn't even an option.

I also already pointed out that the reason some of the wording was awkward was because the characters themselves were speaking that way while narrating the story. I already explained why I was upset about that part.

I also pointed out incidents in other stories and creepypastas where "grammar corrections" ended up ruining part of the story, or did you simply gloss over that detail?

Also, I chose to write "Fairly" instead of "A fairly" because I decided that is how my character would say it while telling the story.

Also, I was going to message one admin privately, but as mentioned, I could not find the list of admins. Thank you for providing the link for future reference, BTW.

Whitix's message was simply the most recent example (and I actually meant to remove that link, but forgot). I was mostly referring to creepypastas that were fine, except the simply forgot to press "enter" enough times to separate the paragraphs, which, while tedious and annoying, would be simple to do.

Also, "do your research" you say to a person who clearly took the time to collect evidence to support her claims?

Just because I missed a detail does not mean I failed to do research, it simply means I accidentally overlooked something during my research.

...And yes, I admit I overlooked a very big thing that I even took a screenshot of.

...Yes, I realize how embarrassing that is.

'''I will, however, apologize for my lack of professionalism in approaching this manner, and admit I can get caught up in my emotions sometimes. I also admit I was already in a pretty bad mood, and should have given myself time to calm down to address the matter more professionally.'''

(I also rushed since I needed to work on something, but that's unimportant as I could have solved that problem by addressing it later)

I probably could say more, but unlike the common joke in the comments of creepypastas, I do need sleep tonight.
