Why should they review something before they delete it? I don't know, maybe to help the writer improve so that they can make quality pastas in the future? And a shit pasta doesn't need a full length, epic review, but maybe some words of advice or reasons for the deletion? (And no, saying "This doesn't meet quality standards" isn't a reason, I mean specifically)

Also, banning an entire genre because some pastas are bad is just ridiculous! You don't ban rap music because people like Lil Yachty and Fetty Wap exist, you don't ban video streaming because porn exists, and you shouldn't ban an entire genre because there are some shitty writers. The whole "Quality over quantity" dynamic is respectable, but the means of achieving said goal should not be completely removing an author's means of creating said quality. This is the only place to write creepypastas nowadays, there's no real competition, so with this implemented ban on gaming/lost episode pastas, you're drastically hurting the chance of ever seeing a good one again. Not to mention that since reviews aren't being given for these bad pastas, it's incredibly easy to just skim over a shitty gaming pasta, delete it, and keep the good ones on the site. You say you have no interest in gaining popularity, but if that's the case then this wiki is fucked anyways.

As for the chat, you know the simple fix to toxic assholes? How about appointing some chat mods to ban them from the chat, it's not fuckin rocket science. In all my years of being on wikis, creepypatsa related or otherwise, I have yet to encounter a chat problem that hasn't been solved in seconds by a chat moderator simply clicking a button.

"You can be creative without writing horrendous" No shit sherlock, but what you fail to realize that just because there are some horrendous pastas in a genre, that doesn't mean that the genre itself is always horrendous. Common. Fucking. Sense.
