I guess it's all been pretty much covered, but I'll go ahead and throw in my two cents. Within the past few weeks I ended up in charge of a website and you know what I learned? Admining is hard. I mean, I sort of figured that out, but I really knew it after having to do it.

Sometimes you have to make choices that absolutely kills you or you disagree with (if you are a good admin and try to give your community what they want). You also have to worry about site storage space and giving your community the best experience that you can.

How does the above relate to the topic at hand? The admins here work hard and sometimes have to make choices that they might not personally prefer or compromises to keep things going smooth. If they didn't delete some of those bad stories, not only would they be wasting site space, but they'd also be cluttering up the site with bad stories which would make it harder for the better stories to be found. If the good stories aren't found because there are so many bad ones, then not only would the readers leave, but the writers might as well.

In short, the Admins have their reasons for what they do and I'd say that their actions are well thought out and planned. Heck, most of their actions are from community input. This place isn't some sort of dictatorship, we all get a fair say in things.

By having quality standards in place, that is prevented and is the best thing for the community. This isn't the Jeff the Killer wiki, this is the Creepypasta Wiki, so it doesn't have to be on here. The removal was the right thing to do in my eyes as JTK didn't meet the quality standards and no story should be immune from that.

I don't believe that the wiki is going downhill or dying at all, there's like 50 plus stories submitted each day and the traffic is phenomenal. If anyone believes that the wiki is going to hell in a hand-basket then they should participate in all of the community proposals and such. I don't see too many people participate in those, though maybe the matter isn't important in their eyes (I don't participate at times when I feel that the proposals brought up aren't important).

TL;DR: The wiki is doing fine. The admins know what they are doing (or have me fooled) and do things because they have reasons. If you want a say in things, go participate in the community proposals.
