User blog comment:Zumokiworks335/CREEPYPASTA WIKI IS FOR PRO'S/@comment-5614678-20160713231140

Look, I get how annoying these types of messages get for everyone here, and the story might not have been of the highest quality and OP could clearly do with some more practice and possibly a few English lessons.

But I think he kind of has a point.

I mean, how many stories are deleted on this wiki? I'd guess at least one every day. Is it possible that the standards of this site are too high? If you look at the deletion appeal page, out of the like thirty entires on there, only one has been approved. Every single other entry has a big fat "REJECTED" next to it.

If you look at other writing sites like FictionPress, they only delete a story when it's uniquely terrible or obviously spam. Like "My Immortal" was a bad Harry Potter fanfic - but there are tons of those. The reason My Immortal got deleted is because the orthography  is so uniquely bad that you can't even read the story. It's incomprehensible.

 Quality is a pretty subjective thing. Some of the most popular books in the last ten years are Twilight and Fifty Shades of Gray - I think they're horrible, but people enjoy them because they appeal to their interests (basically being wanted by a hot guy) and they genuinely enjoy them.

Don't get me wrong, I know why the site has such high standards - just two/three years ago the site was flooded with Jeff the Killer rpioffs and Sonic.exe clones. But there simply has to be some kind of middle ground between that and what we're doing now - because the moderators deleting stories almost daily creates a very hostile atmosphere to people who are new to the communitty and at times this site can feel more like a prison camp than a writing website.

Or maybe you could just get rid of the "submit a story!" link on the front page, because encouraging new people to submit their stories right off the bat without checking the sites rules or the writer's workshop first is pretty much just asking people to give you crap. I mean, it's the first thing you see when you visit the site for the first time.
