I know I'm probably beating a dead horse, but I've got to say, shadow does have a point about the spinoff thing (not the bureaucratic spinoff appeal thing, that's drama I don't want to get into). I'm not advocating for a total removal of the system, but perhaps if we relaxed slightly it and made it more accessible, perhaps the community would begin to care more about this site. If we didn't have a two-year dry period between spinoffs and things like that, but maybe, rather, a one-month deal depending on what kind of stories would be submitted. Yes, the majority spinoffs are bad, but if we made the system easier to access and go through, we would still let quality stories through, just not too many so that it gets cliche.

I do think the admins do need to have a small workload (I've certainly been a bit of a slouch but it hasn't affected much), but would making the spinoff appeal just a little bit easier to allow a glimmer of hope for those attempting to submit one really add that much work?

(P.S. Treating it as if it is another deletion appeal but with higher standards is sort of the direction I'm thinking - but who knows)
