No Problem
I had a free moment at work to look at it, I actually have to get back to it so I'll just leave this if they come asking about why it was deleted. The story had a lot of punctuation, capitalization, grammatical (it's/its) errors and the story line is also lacking in some aspects. I can go more in depth later with examples.

RE: JtK Contest
I believe you have written a very solid blog. A couple of points I want to mention:

1) I think it would be wise to have some instructions on how to use pastebin in the blog. It's very simple, so it wouldn't take much space and would certainly help out. Also, many new members might be too shy to ask. I will come up with the instructions myself tomorrow.

2) I don't really feel it's necessary for Jeff to become crazy, that might limit some writers' creativity. Personally, I would find it interesting to see a possession, or something different. So, as long as Jeff becomes "the killer", I believe we are fine.

3) Lastly, I'm not that convinced that only one story should become the "new Jeff". If this thing becomes big, it might be a bit too much of a reward (it might even turn out to be bad). I would prefer multiple winners. For example, the winner would be the main pasta, with second and third place alongside it. Maybe on a special page or something. All in all, I feel only one "new Jeff" isn't such a good idea.

4) We should make a special point for grammar. As the stories will be posted off-wiki, ironing out the mistakes will be more difficult than normal. If there are too many grammar/punctuation/etc mistakes, the entry should be disqualified.

That's all. Other than that, I believe it's as good as it gets. I will let the other judges know of this so they can throw in their opinion too. Thanks for doing this. MrDupin (talk) 22:19, September 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm happy the way it is. Maybe I'll think of something else in the future. In the meanwhile, I let the other judges know of this, so they can chime in with their opinion too. MrDupin (talk) 23:40, September 24, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Quick Question
Thing is, it might turn out like the PotM. A lot of people read only the most voted on story and ignore the rest. That might produce skewed results, and in such a contest that could be bad.

I was thinking that we could do something a bit more complicated, but it would offer more stable results. The judges would choose their top-5 (or so) stories and would also rank them. Then, that top-5 would get voted by the community via a poll, again ranking the stories. Lastly, admins would rank the stories on their own.

So we would be left with three separate standings. Each position would award the pasta points (eg. first place equals 10 points). We would sum up all the pasta points and the final ranking would be based on that sums.

An advantage of this is that it would erase any anomaly produced by the public poll, and it would also have the admins' stamp without putting too much work on their shoulders (they would only have to evaluate the top stories).

I know it's a bit late, but this seems more fair and stable than the current system, and would practically leave no part of the community dissatisfied.

If you fancy that system, I can elaborate more with an example. MrDupin (talk) 19:18, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

Licensing-Thank you
I would like to say thank you for making those alterations to the two works I mentioned to SP, and for making them so quickly. The corrections you made were exactly what I wanted.

Again, thank you for bringing a quick resolution to this issue.

RE: Story Deletion
Hello there, my name is RubikApe and I've been a creepypasta reader for a while now and, today, I decided to try writting one of my own (even if it wasn't that good). After creating my account, I wrote a post, instead of a story (I'm sorry, I'm still learning :p), and my post, normally, got deleted, by you. I would have no problem at all, if it wasn't for the fact that, after trying to re-upload my story now in the right place, you instantly deleted it. I've read the Quality Standards already and I still don't understand what's wrong with my story

I believe you have a perfectly good reason for this, but I'm just confuse. Since I still don't know how this site really works, i've already made a post at the forum (i'm sorry if i wasn't suppost to, I really don't know. Anyway, I hope the message gets throght...

A Concern About My Pasta
Hello Underscorre, I have recently noticed that something appears to be wrong with my pasta, Revival.

Even though I wrote the story, as comments clearly show, the page appears to be empty. At first I thought this was a problem with my computer, but when I checked on my chromebook, the same difficulties repeated themselves.

Any help here is very appreciated.

Thanks!

RE: The Nightlight
Hi Tom,

Just seeking some feedback on a story I have just written. Do you feel if it would work better if it were re-written in a standard 3rd person format with the female lead as the protagonist? Honestly, though I have read many of the more note-worthy pastas I would not profess to having read even a tenth of what is out there. I haven't really seen the forum format used all that often, but you would know better considering that you probably see hundreds of these things every day.

JCatenaci (talk) 07:05, September 30, 2015 (UTC)

Hmm, well okay. Until you mentioned it, I didn't even think of the plot revolving around the forum members being targeted, and as the author I would like to add that it's more of a coincidence. Maybe removing Alvin and the final part about PuckU seeing the lights would do it. I appreciate the compliment on the atmosphere, and I really tried to allow it to slowly build. I also hope that others can appreciate my attempts to make the characters respond in realistice manners (Puck trying to convince DatDawg to call the police and stay with friends, the comical nature of the user names, and DatDawg checking herself in for psychiatric evaluation after her last nightmare).

Hope to hear a verdict soon, and I already took it to the writer's workshop to get more feedback. Would love to see if I can make this into a successful entry!

A Favor
Hello! Rinskuro was going to ask an Administrator to look into a picture that was submitted for the Art Contest and I'm unsure if he got around to it as he's been busy (with university, I believe). I tried reverse google searching it and came up with things that looked somewhat similar in art style, but couldn't find an exact match. I figured you might have the best chance of finding another copy of the picture in question should one exist. If you find no matches then I'd love to get to judging it.

Here's the picture in question: Sorry to wait so long to approach you about this. There's a bit of a rush, the contest judging ends on the 10th (and I'll be gone on the 10th) so if you could get it done by tomorrow or the 9th then I'd really appreciate it. If you are too busy to look into it then please let me know ASAP. I'm aware the short notice is rude of me and I'm very sorry. I'm just starting to get worried about it, I wish I had said something a couple of days ago. Buckle up  I'm going to be popular  19:28, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

Contest Idea
Excuse me, Mister Undersccore, (Sorry for the formality. I just want to stay on the good side of the admins.)

So, my contest blog was deleted. I read over the message you sent me and I decided to post my contest idea here to see if you approve of it.

My idea was to make a contest where users would submit their ideas for a creepypasta. I thought it was an idea that might make way for some good stories. The rules would be:

1. No submitting troll pasta entrees. (Ex: A man encounters a VHS tape showing a man bleeding hyper-realistic blood!)

2. No submitting ideas that are spinoffs or ideas that have already been used.

3. I expect good grammar, although minor mistakes are OK.

4. This is not required, but I encourage fleshing out your idea as much as possible.

5. Any entree that does not follow the rules above (Except for 4) will be ignored.

So, yeah, that's my idea. If you approve of it, tell me that you do. If you do not, tell me what I can change to make my idea approved.

Thanks, Mister Undersccore.

Considering Contributions
Hey. I saw your polite departure message on my profile and decided to stop by.

Truth be told, I lost all my motivation to write the moment I stopped contributing to this wiki. Everywhere else either has no sense of horror or no community. I was so motivated while I was active here. For the most part, all the criticism I recieved, both positive and negative, was very helpful. That's why despite my still very bitter feelings, I would like to contribute to this wiki again.

I don't know if I'll be as involved as before, but I would still like to have somewhere to put my occasional creative thoughts. I'm going to start with something recommended to me a long while back ny the admin Empy: combining all my micropastas into one list/page. This will help me share my short stories while giving me some leniancy with the strict rules.

Wish me luck! ColorlessAngelz (talk) 15:39, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Creepy Art Contest Winners
I'm currently in a slightly difficult situation as I am unable to a ccess a computer and my phone can't let me use source mode. Typing is also tedious. Earlier in the day I made a  blog announcing the winners of the art contest, and I will discuss prizes with Ruckus. But as for now, would you mind doing me a big favour and mesaging the winners linking them to the blob and also see if you can somehow put the very impressive 1st place onto the front page? And lastly, putting a link for the winner blog onto the original contest blog and adding it (winners blog) to staff blogs.

Thank you so much and apologies for the delay. The mess regarding the competition and prizes will be organized on Monday when I can get back to skl again.

RE: Blocked
WARNING: Since I pre-typed this comment immediately after I was banned two days ago, this comment contains some sarcasm and venting.

Thank you for blocking me based off your incorrect assumption. Waiting a couple days before getting to explain myself is always fun.

My recent upload wasn't "an excuse to reupload deleted stories." It was an idea to combine all my micropastas into one list that was pitched to me a long time ago Empy the admin. I explained this already in my previous message (glad you paid attention). My stories were taken down (allegedly) because, as short stories, they weren't quite strong enough to meet the standards on their own, not because of legitimate lack of quality. Therefore, putting them all together, like Empy did with his short story list, should more than suffice for acceptance on this wiki.

Think of it like this. Would Empy's short story "Pillow Talk" (I loved how my wife used to wake me up by whispering sweet nothings into my ear every morning. I didn’t enjoy her pillow talk as much the day after her funeral.) get deleted if he posted it as a stand alone story? Unless there's some kind of admin bias, yes. However, his story is accepted on this wiki because he grouped it together on the same page as several of his other short stories. This is the same thing I did. Therefore you should either delete his short stories page because the individual stories aren't all enough to stand alone like you did with mine, or you should have never removed my micropasta collection and blocked me in the first place. Still, I'll be writing an article on the deletion appeal page just to clear things up 100%.

Side note: there should be some sort of time frame for ban-stacking. I was blocked for reuploading some stories (via a miscommunication with an admin) about a year ago, so why am I receiving this 2 day block punishment as if I'm repeatedly/ntentionally spamming this wiki?We both know the rules are intended to prevent malicious users from harming/bothering other users on the site. As someone who quite literally just explained (in my previous comment) to you how excited he is to be back and contribute, you know I don't belong in that boat. Please message me so we can clear things up BEFORE blocking me and making me wait several days next time. Obnoxious acts like that make it very hard to believe the admins on this site aren't out to get me. I took an eight month break. I should not come back happy and return to a state of paranoia after just ten minutes. ColorlessAngelz (talk) 15:11, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

RE: RE
I'm going to write this response while I read your message since it's quite the behemoth. I really wish you guys would simply understand that I'm a writer who has good intentions and just wants to come back to contributing to this wiki instead of going out of your way to find any assumption that what I'm doing is out of malice and/or against the rules.

1. I'm not, nor is anyone, on any site, EVER, going to read EVERY single bit of text on EVERY page. Yet, you admins on this site always use the "it's mentioned somewhere on some page" excuse as a go-to to back up your "ignorance is no excuse" bs. The reality is that yes, ignorance is a perfectly justified excuse, just not willful ignorance. If you put that kind of information somewhere useful/noticably visible, such as the "you're blocked" screen, then I could honestly say I have no excuse. Until then, don't expect me, or anyone, to go searching through every wall of text on every page until they learn and memorize every single rule and bit of knowledge offered on wikipedia.

2. It was a way to reupload my highly praised, properly if not overly qualified stories as well as several new ones, but it wasn't just some "excuse." like you claim it to be. I, as well as many others, in fact, several admins (yourself included I believe) have given these micropastas understandable praise for their exceptional quality, (proven by the fact that they were able to stay on the site for months [before being deleted for vague, non-descript reasons] even though they were all only three or less sentences). I've said it before and I'll say it again, even though I shouldn't have to say it at all: just because a story is uploaded and taken down DOESN'T change it's quality. These are still the same stories you praised, and the same stories Empy told me to upload in a collection page. Also, it's easy for you admins to rush to block me without taking the time to investigate for a minute, yet you'll tell me repeatedly to "be patient" because I don't come up with a story or something to talk tabout and sit there for a day hoping for an admin to check his page and respond. I try waiting, but I can only do it for so long before my restlessness and drive to create more gets the best of me. If anything, yeah, I should be more patient, but you admins should also respond faster.

3. It's not irrelevant. We're in the same creative boat on this issue, that's why I brought him up. The only difference is that, since I posted my stories individually and they were taken down, you guys suddenly believe they have less than deserving quality for some reason. As far as needed to go through deletion appeals, I figured as much, that's why I went to the deletion appeal page. Empy declined my appeal for pretty much the same thing I just explained: they had been uploaded and taken down before, therefore... they should automatically be taken down again? I don't follow, and I sent him a message on my talk page about how unfair this is.

4. This wasn't a reupload. This was a brand new compilation page. I really can't stress enough that just because a short story couldn't stand on it's own doesn't mean it can't stand on a list with several other stories like Empy's list. Also I'm not annoyed I'm being treated the same as everyone else. That's you trying to twist my words. I'm annoyed that you're treating me as if I'm some sort of malicious troll who intends to abuse/has no regard for the rules, like the people that deserve to be blocked.

I'm glad you see how seriously I take getting blocked. It's because I take this wiki very seriously as it's really my only way to upload and properly share my writing. Hopefully next time you'll at least check your talk page and clear things up with me before blocking me, and I'll try contacting you through that link I now know about.

Story deletion
Hey, Tom. I'm just inquiring about the deletion of my story "My Silent March Into Hell." Did it suck or did I misspell words or have bad grammar or something? Any advice on what it needs to be better?

Judging Period
Hey Underscorre, I should let you know it may take 4-5 days more to judge the entries than originally thought. If that's a huge problem I can tell the team to hurry up, but I'm not sure rushing it is wise. MrDupin (talk) 18:24, November 4, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Tom, my pasta I posted was deleted. It was "A Normal Routine" and I was just wondering why it was deleted? Thanks!

Hello, there! I knew about how s is changed to z in the US in some instances, like practise (as well as centre and favourite), but apologise escaped my memory. I've read works by Douglas Adams and JK Rowling, so am slightly familiar with English spelling. Thanks for the reminder!Biffantoid (talk) 21:25, November 5, 2015 (UTC)Biffantoid

I am just trying to ask how I can MSG and do stuff on wikia also how do I send in a deletion appeal? Also if I can't get it put on wikia can you at least open it some time so I can copy and post it on a site elsewhere?

Story deletion based on...
Hi Tom,

It's an issue I address with admins on this site a second time already, anyhow, as I've been reading and posting on this site for over two years now lately it seems to me the staff only cares about if the post is aesthetic. I mean I've had some story reviewed about million times by different people, I appeal to story deletion and the admin just tells me "still does not fit in with standarts." All this in spite of the positive feedbacks on both plot and aesthetics (grammar, punctuation etc) without explaining whats the problem (Posted it like 3 different times).

Would you mind going through it by the way yourself and pointing the problems?

Angel's Nest

Anyhow, I also wonder why admins complain about new pieces with bad plot while they keep crappy pieces that get negative comments on the site? Like in the case of "Beyond Insanity" obviously the piece is aesthetic, the writer even made a costum and props but still its a female version of JTK with a costum. Apparently that thing has been online for a few years now.

Another interesting thing that happened to me is when I posted something on the writer's workshop and some guy (Im not sure he's part of the staff or just an old member) decided that my piece was Jeff the killer like because rage led to reddening of sight along with other things due to mutation. I asked him if he is aware I was writing about X he told me he was completely aware of it just chose to believe I was refering to something else... God knows why he decided so. Anyhow he kept holding his argument that this is jeff the killer influenced even though I told him directly its an X Men style of mutantion and super abilities...

So my main point in this whole long ass massage to you is, I am strongly lead to believe the current staff of the site simply manages it using their subjective views and ideas with little care for the writers or readers here. Also I run a site similar to this and I dont delete pieces a hour after they were written before anyone has even gotten the chance to read them...

Just felt like unloading this to you :)

JTK Poll Site
Hello Underscorre. I asked MrDupin this first, but I think you are better to ask because you made the JTK contest.

Has easypolls.net caught all cheating and prevented people from seeing results enough that you would use it again? like I said in the contest comments it didnt work for me at first, so I want to know how likely it is you would use another site like polldaddy.com (whihc worked no problem for me) in the future, because I really want to be able to vote with less hassle in other contests.

First of all sorry for removing messages from MrDupin's talk page, I just took the question down becaus you answered so I didnt need his answer anymore. Also please do not block me, I did not mean to advertise polldaddy.com I was just saying it worked for me. I was just asking all that because easypolls.net didnt work for me at first but if youre going to keep using it then okay

JtK Runner-Ups
Hey, Underscorre! First things first, I want to thank you for organizing the JtK Rewrite contest. This event was a phenomenal experience, and it wouldn't have been possible without your contribution.

So: I noticed that Banning's entry was posted late yesterday, and I was hoping you could tell me when I can expect the second- and third-place to go up. I understand this probably requires an admin's intervention because of the Title Blacklist.

JZoidberg (talk) 17:47, December 7, 2015 (UTC)

Contest
Hey, no worries. Didn't realize we were doing the approval thing or I would have asked first. I can rewrite the blog post, but that pretty much sums up everything I was looking for. Holiday horror theme. 5000 words or less. Enter by 12 Dec, stories due 19 Dec, winners announced 24 Dec. Graded on writing, creativity and creepiness. Stories not meeting qs are automatically disqualified. I was planning on being sole judge, unless that's another no go. Prizes for the top three will be reviews for up to three of the author's other stories. Let me know if there's anything else you need to know, or if there's something I need to tweak to get this the go ahead. Thanks for the heads up!

Shadowswimmer77 (talk) 16:20, December 8, 2015 (UTC)

Jeff The Killer
So I mentioned it in the other place, and it's been a few days since the end of the contest. I know you said that you'd message the winners regarding prizes but I haven't heard anything and I saw that Banning's had been posted already. I was just wondering if the 2nd and 3rd place winners will still have their stories posted and, if so, when can it possibly be expected. I apologize if I seem to be a bit pushy, but I'm just curious SiriusNightshade (talk) 20:15, December 8, 2015 (UTC)SiriusNightshade

On the JtK thing
Hey Underscorre, I wanted to weigh in on whether the other two JtK stories should be posted on the wiki. Personally, I believe they should. This is what was voted on and this is what we initially (and as officially as it gets) announced. Well, that's my two cents. MrDupin (talk) 17:09, December 9, 2015 (UTC)

Trouble viewing comments
Hello, Underscorre, I'm having a tech support issue, and I'm worried it will crop up again if I don't figure out what's causing it. I posted feedback on this story yesterday, and it got a response, but I wasn't aware of it because I haven't been able to view the comment since I posted it, nor the response. I seem able to read my other Writer's Workshop comments, but due to the weirdness of this issue, I can't be sure they haven't been replied to as well. I tried clearing my cache, but no dice. Please consult Emperial's talk page and mine for further info. Hope you have some ideas for me, 'cos I'm out. Thanks in advance.--Mikemacdee (talk) 09:41, December 11, 2015 (UTC)

it worked!
I can totally see the comments now, so thanks for the tip. Is there no way for the admins to fix this? or would you have to ask the wikipedia staff to do it?--Mikemacdee (talk) 02:45, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Message to admins
Hi, I wrote this "story" (you can find it here: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:514480 ), Empyrallnvective thought it was just a troll pasta but it was in fact a way to criticize the site's policy. I'll copy what I wrote on his talk page (it's destined to him at first, but the critize and suggestions should be read by every admin)

It's a shame you took my "story" like a troll pasta, it was a way to criticize this site's policy.

And don't think I'm only complaining about my deleted stories, in fact, I don't care: I'll post them elsewhere, other people will read them, it is the same for me.

I have read some stories that were deleted and I must say that some were creepeier than most of the admins' stories I have read.

You may have good skills in English, but you have no peticuliar tallent in writing, as everyone here. And you know why? Because talented writers make a living out of it. So stop geing condescendant by denying someone's envy to tell a story (s)he imagined just because you found an insignificant mistake/bad choice of word/...

I spoke with other members and with people on reddit (who were also members), many of them think that I have a point.

But I'm not here just to criticize, I'd like to give suggestions to make this site better.

This system (publishing, deletion, deletion appeal) doesn't work (you can see by yourself all the denied appeals on the page) and it means loads of good stories that won't be published.

What can you do instead? Well, first of all, the workshop should be easier to spot and helping members should be rewarded (it means less work for the admins). You can also give tools to auto correct the grammar. Then, a story won't be published immediately, it would go to a "pending zone" where admins, moderators,... will personally help the writer to correct everything. This will work way better than deleting a story, asking for a revised copy and denying the deletion appeal because the writer didn't spot this peticuliar virgule misplacement.

Now, this "I've already seen this premise somewhere": I have read excellent Stephen King's novels that reminded me some other autors. And here too, I have read stories that had something in common with another one. It is ineviatble and you will miss a lot of good stories if you systematically delete stories that have a common point with another one. For example, one of my stories about a scarecrow was deleted because there already was another story with a scarecrow. The stories were completely different, except that they both had a scarecrow involved.

So now, you should have a talk with the other admins, because you have 2 options:

- You change nothing and keep believing that you all are masters of horror on their throne, deleting peasants' stories

- You apply my advice, make changes in your policy and make this site great

Any JtK Updates?
Hey, Underscorre. Have their been any updates in the JtK situation since the time of your last message?

JZoidberg (talk) 20:03, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey.


 * No worries about the delayed responses, I know everyone's busy around the holidays. About JtK: I really don't want to sound ungrateful for the offer and I definitely get that as an admin you don't want to start any drama, but . . . frankly it doesn't really seem fair to rescind 2nd and 3rd place prizes based on the response to the 1st. I’m not angry at you or anything and I hope it doesn't come off that way, but I'm really hoping that you can reconsider. If drama is your only concern, could we just put it up after a few weeks when the interest dies down (it mostly already has)? After that I doubt there'll still be any vitriol, and if there is I'm really the only one affected by it and I'm prepared to take some criticism.
