User blog comment:Tortellinilinguini/Stop saying my pastas should be deleted/@comment-7673575-20180120102200

In addition to what Banning wrote down there (he pretty much covered all of it) I have a few more things to add.

No one is telling that your pasta should never have been written, but if it is to stay on Creepypasta Wiki, it has to have some solid bones, and not just a viscous jiggly mass. In other, less poetic words; we have our standards, and all of us, from the fresh user to us admins must uphold them. Not only does that help the writers by urging them to improve themselves, but it also helps the wiki by keeping it from becoming an incomprehensible mess, and the readers, by giving them quality material to read.

I have been on this wiki since 2012 as a reader, before officially joining as a writer/editor back in July 2017. My first story (which I now freely admit was  shit ) lasted about 5 minutes on this wiki before the man, the myth, the legend,  EmpyrealInvective  deleted it. Boy, did I feel confused with a side of rock salt then. And several of my stories after got deleted, and I admit that I argued with Empy because of that. But I soon learned that while maybe horribly blunt in delivering, admins are right almost all the time.

I believe that 99% of users had at least one of their stories deleted, and in most cases, it was their first one. Some of them were horribly salty and left (some even made their own wikis), and some (like me, in example) stubbornly persisted, until their writing was good enough to be accepted.

And you have proven that you can be a decent writer if you only put some muscle into it. In comparison, the two other pastas you wrote were not even worthy of consideration, and had to go; think of it like culling out the terminally ill animals from the herd.

Unfortunately, due to extreme nature of your two deleted pastas, I had to give you a 3 day ban from editing as per rules, because both of those pages could be considered as spam pages.

Bottom line: no one is saying that your pastas should be deleted, but if you want them to stay, you must put some effort into writing them. As Rik Emmett once said: ''Nothing is easy, Nothing good is free.''
