You admins of this wiki make me absolutely fucking sick. How DARE you give such a pathetic attitude about someone elses work because it's popular. What's the matter, need a scapegoat because you can't succeed at snything yourselves?! Seriously, if that's not the case, you have one hell of a funny way of showing it. Something like Sonic.exe may've produced all the things that try to copy it, but it's still it's own thing & has every right to exist here. It's not JC's fault that everyone decides 'That's cool, I wanna make my own version of it!!'. That's the readers choice! And what do we have here? A bunch of admins with a 'holier than thou' attitude wishing to get rid of it. You guys set the bar for being elitist yet worthless by acting like you want this guys head on a spike.

Seriously, what the fuck is the matter with you people?! Someone creates somethig popular & you act like it deserves to be purged off the face of the earth? You guys display a new level of abysmal reasoning & logic with how you respond to this subject. I honestly don't think it matters if you'd punish me for these words... Not only would it reinforce my point of how petty you all are, but after seeing this I am so ashamed to be a member of this community. You should be ashamed that this is the example you set. Pathetic.

We are not allowed to critique someone's work? What we are not allowed to express our distaste popular subjects? Sonic.exe is bad in MY opinion. It is our job to regulate content on wiki by its quality.

Sonic.exe is a bad example of what a creepypasta is and should be, and we want to make that clear. It got popular off of mere chance, and yes it is not the author's fault why it got popular. But if we keep allowing these type of pastas be the notable examples, people will try to write like them. Monkey see, monkey do.

If that pasta was uploaded today, it would have been deleted right away.

You do indeed have the right to govern content on here. After all, you're admins. If you didn't do those kinds of duties, why would you be in this position?

But the way you handle a subject like this is *not* the way to go. You're supposed to set the example here. You all talk of 'setting the bar' for low standards... Maybe you should take a look at yourselves & low you've set the bar for behaviour towards others.

In the end, this makes me more upset than angry. Blaming a creator for the influence their creation causes is unacceptable in this case, no matter who you are.

I am hoping so much that you can see any kind of reason in what I say here. Rather than looking for a fight, I just will not stand for people in your position to exercise your power in this manner. I realize this will mean nothing coming from me, but until you can put your unfair outlook aside... How dare you call yourselves admins. As long as you act this way, you don't deserve the rights you mention. Like I said earlier, it's not author's fault for its popularity. Admins are human too you know. We don't profit anything keeping the wiki maintained. We get bickered and insulted at for deleting badly written work.

What have you done for the wiki instead of complaining about administration. I don't see power abuse you claim there is. Sure admins and mods have disagreements on some subjects, but we don't act out of line. And when such event happens, she/he loses their rights and gets banned. Same rules as everybody else.
