@Flaky The reason for "blacklisted subject" and spinoff bans is because, even though badpastas stem from the writer's ineptitude and not the fact that they are writing about a certain subject, bad writers tend to gravitate towards these subjects and spinoffs for whatever reason. I agree that not all of them are bad, but the overwhelming majority of them are.

Still, I think the abuse filter is a lazy solution as our greatest concern right now is simply POOR QUALITY CONTENT, which, contrary to popular belief, is not limited to these subjects. Far from it.

I personally think a complete spinoff ban and blacklisting of certain genres is unnecessary, as admins could simply delete bad ones at their own discretion and keep ones that are good.

The rules in general could use some brushing up, especially the quality standards. That way, the catch-all reason for deleting (rejecting) pastas&mdash;"blacklisted" or not&mdash;would simply be "enforcing the quality standards". Which is far more practical if you ask me.
