I'm just not going to make anymore stories up here and if I do post some of my other creepy pastas they're probably going to get deleted like the first. Again, we have strict quality standards akin to those of a publisher.

Again, we're the premier to place on the web to post, get feedback, and participate in the actual creation of creepypastas.

Boo hoo, your story got deleted. Probably for good reason. Instead of bitching, maybe try to improve. Posts like yours are a huge pet peeve of mine, you're obviously not trying. You obviously don't want to improve. You're not posting on here because we're challenging you to get better when we say your story isn't up to snuff? Haha ok then. There's a lot of woe is me baaaawww in your post, do you know how many people get their stories deleted here? A lot. Do you know how many of those people take that as a challenge to improve? A lot. Do you know how many typically come back with better stories? A lot.

You're just giving up. There's nothing to be respected in that. Hey, don't be so hard on him. We all get upset when our pastas are criticized. Who among us doesn't pour our all into our writing?

I think we need to approach this situation with a bit more humility. I mean, we're just a creepypasta website. We're a popular and frequently-trafficked creepypasta website, but that doesn't make us "akin to a publishing company." I mean, I'm not saying we should lift our quality standards, but the reason we set up the writer's workshop was so that we didn't have to say, "Tough. You obviously suck. Write better." when someone gets their pasta deleted. We're not being constructive by insulting prospective writers.
