User blog comment:Jay ten/Should we correct people when they say a story is real? Opinions wanted./@comment-25634501-20141109052337

Personally I think it's up to the readers whether they believe what they see. If it's a story here on the wiki, then I wouldn't recommend telling them it's fake. As has previously been mentioned the front page states that all content on this site is to be considered fiction, as in made up. If a reader tries to reference an article on here basing evidence on another site, then their story will still be discredited due to Creepypasta Wiki's disclaimer.

Basically stories on here are automatically labeled fiction, no matter how gullible the readers are.

Now if it's on another site and this person is taking the story out of proportion, (trying to convince people via links, making various websites, blogs, pages pertaining to the topic to prove it's real, etc) then feel free to correct them.

Also, when correcting them make sure to explain your reasoning. Just saying, "No it's fake" isn't enough to prove a point unfortunately.
