Don't worry about your regional spelling. This wiki accommodates differences such as this. I reverted the edit back to your original spelling.

 * Yeah that seems fine. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 22:59, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Poetry
It's alright. Usually you add the whenever there's stanza's in them, or if the author wants the poem to be grouped together like this: In the fall of '79 I fell in love. She was a beauty; her eyes were as blue as a diamond, her hair golden as a twinkling star her body ready to explode like a rocketship. But unfortunately... she was a rocketship.

Usually if there's lines between the sentences you don't add that. Have a good day! Do you hear that? That's the grape roaring   22:32, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

RE:
Thanks for reporting it. Steam Phoenix already banned the user. Good catch. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 21:33, December 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * The author did credit the story (at the bottom), so it isn't technically plagiarism, but the story has been removed and the author given a warning about posting content on their talk pages. (The story additionally had some issues with quality. Thanks for being vigilant. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 12:36, December 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, the story was removed from the page and the author was advised to revise their story for grammatical issues if they plan on posting it. (you're, your, it's/its, etc.) Thanks for looking for issues like that. Have a good one. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 18:23, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Story on User Page
It was fine for you to come to me about a story on someone else's user page. I do have the ability to remove them and give them warnings about it (VCROC). Anyways, thanks for informing me.

RE:
I rollback his edits as they actually caused problems with the formatting and seemed counter-productive/pointless. While not destructive/warranting a warning for points gaming or vandalism (yet), they did reduce the overall quality of a story that was already M4R.

Re: M4R
Yeah, there's just too few active admins right now to keep up with the constant inflow of content. Decided I'd tag new pages I don't have time to read over with M4R so I could at least get around to reviewing them at some point. Better to have a backlog of this shit than to dig around for it. --LOLSKELETONS (talk) 21:29, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know? I just remember Adult Swim using something called "Kristmas with Krampus" and I guessed that it's one thing to make a loosely around something, but to make a whole poem dedicated to comedy, isn't really a fit for this site. I apologize, it was on the spot and I didn't know exactly why it should be deleted. Although, that's the first thing that came to my mind...Sorry.

Not an objection in the world. That said, I don't know why he thinks I care if he believes I'm attracted to members of my own gender. I'm currently sort-of dating a transwoman, and if I ever found the right man I might give it a try.WatcherAzazel (talk) 15:30, December 25, 2014 (UTC)

re
I believe the nonexistent pages in that category are from the time some Wikia Staff member accidentally changed this wiki's internal settings and wiped the whole Project namespace clean. We tried to re-create a few of the policy pages from google cache, but it turns out we didn't have to because Staff reverted the changes shortly after we contacted them. Those pages that were re-created seemed to linger about afterwards, though, seems they're still in the wiki's database somewhere. Might want to ask them to look into that at some point.

Also, that link you showed me seems to be to the correct namespace, but the thread itself doesn't seem to exist. Probably an incorrect thread ID. I'll remove the link for now. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 00:52, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

Unrelated, but your userpage is kind of hard to read in the Monobook skin. Just thought I'd point that out. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 01:03, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

That is a violation of ToU. SKEL was a step ahead and the blog has since been deleted and the user banned. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 12:52, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

The Story MH370
I read the story and decided that it should be deleted. Not so much that it was low quality- it was- but simply because it was, as you mentioned, highly distasteful and offensive and the writing quality was not enough to redeem it. We don't need something like it on our site. I'd like to say a thank-you for helping to point this issue out. A picture is worth a thousand words, but I&#39;d rather write a thousand-word story.

Thanks for the Coding
I wanted to thank you for fixing the coding errors on Seven Days. I know I PO-ed a lot of admin and people when I did that (Mainly because I simply copied and pasted them from a separate site that did them for me. My bad.).

I know that must have taken awhile to do that so, thanks. :)

J.T. (talk) 06:06, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

If you get the rights
You'll be able to rename pages. Since you skipped the rollback part, I suggest using this site to check if a title is correctly capitalized or not.

Re: Coding
Yeah, I'm okay with it. :) Right now I just hope it stays that way. Some dude was going through the whole series a few days ago and changing the format. (He stopped at Log 5, thankfully).

But again, thanks!

Due to us deleting the VCROC slot as a whole, and your support for the old slot, you now have admin rights. If you have ANY questions, let another admin know. Congratulations. Mystreve (talk) 01:01, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

Tense
Ok, I just noticed that you fixed the tense in my story. I thought I'd made it clear in the Writer's Workshop that I felt changing tense was something the narrator would do in character. Am I not allowed to have a character use incorrect grammar.WatcherAzazel (talk) 05:48, January 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * As long as it's intentional/used as a character flaw, this is perfectly acceptable. Feel free to revert the edits if need be. If you're having trouble doing so, let me know.

You're a fucking masterpiece on adminship. You're doing such a great job for someone who didn't spend much time on the wiki! Keep up the good work.

Pasta Review
Hi, Underscore. I was told by another administrator on this wiki - I think it was Empy? - that if I wanted someone to review my Pasta, I should ask an admin. I would really appreciate it if you could comment and leave a review on the talk page under the pasta. It's called "The Polished Man", and you could easily find it by going on my profile:

Many thanks:

Observation
You've been doing a bang-up job as an administrator so far. You seem to have an eagle-eye for little things that might've been missed. This type of thing never goes unnoticed. Keep the damn good work up, Tom. Thanks again. And, as usual, if you have ANY questions, concerns etc, feel free to ask (as you have been). Mystreve (talk) 23:27, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

Why do you keep deleting and changing my stories?
You seem to always want to get rid of everything I do am I doing something wrong?

Policy Question
Hi, Underscore.

I was just wondering - are we permitted to post stories that are heavily based on existing urban legends? (Note: Not Creepypastas). I am asking because I had plans to write a story based on "Bloody Mary", and I'm not entirely sure what this site's policy is regarding them.

I'll appreciate it if you can get back to me.

Yours Sincerely,

Baron Brixus (talk) 17:57, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Uploading Stories
I saw that you uploaded a story for someone because it triggered the abuse filter for them (which I have since deleted for quality issues). I know you're an admin and you're supposed to be helpful, but try not to do this kind of thing unless you're absolutely sure it's up to QS/doesn't contain any blacklisted elements/etc.

Thanks. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 21:30, January 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I saw your responses in the WW thread, but I still think there's too many glaring plot errors for a story this short to pass muster on the main site.


 * Like, an old man was living in a family's attic for four months, and they never checked it in all that time? They were clearly aware of suspicious activity, but they didn't bother to check the whole house until after they installed the cameras? I'm sorry, but that just strains my suspension of disbelief too much.


 * The story has potential, but it still needs some work before it's up to QS.


 * LOLSKELETONS (talk) 22:11, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * I restored this story. It needed some editing for content and some paragraph separation, but otherwise it really wasn't all that bad.
 * Mystreve (talk) 16:05, January 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * I dunno, that plot hole is pretty glaring to me. I would revise it before restoring it. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 16:11, January 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * I fixed that part (toward the end). Didn't jump out at me before. Hopefully the author doesn't mind it. If so, we can just re-delete it.

First Article: Need Help!
Dear Underscorre,

I am the head admin on a related wiki, Cryptid Wiki, and with my vast knowledge of the unknown I translated some ancient Indian sanskrit text (slokas) talking about a popular demon story in India. I need help with this article. Also, this is my first article here, so I need advice on my article, such as categories and such. I would greatlly appreciate your help.

My article is Demons in India. It is a popular horror story in India that I translated.

Thank You

Australopithecusman (talk) 22:17, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Categories
Dear Underscorre,

I apologize for adding categories. I was just confused, since you told me what categories to add. Also, I am not sure what your quality standards are, but the story I published is an ancient text, revered for thousands of years in India. Perhaps it is out of place here, as many westerners would not be able to relate to it. Since you are an admin, I would advise you to delete it, but provide a reason like "housekeeping," because stating it does not meet quality standards would offend Hindus and Buddhist across South and Southeast Asia, though you probably don't see a lot of them. Just give a clean, simple reason and delete all traces of it immediately. I do not want this text to be viewed by ignorant commenters. But please provide a sensitive and nice reason for deletion, such as "housekeeping" or "authors request." I do not want to offend anyone, especially since this story is so revered and sacred.

Please delete it immediately.

Best Regards,

Australopithecusman (talk) 22:41, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Nevermind
Nevermind, the page has been deleted. Please don't send me any messages regarding this. Thank you for your support.

Pro-tip
When handling threads on Site Questions, you should usually (almost always) answer the question before closing the thread. After you've answered the question, it's best to wait until the OP responds to make sure they don't have any further questions on the topic. After you're sure the OP is satisfied with the answer(s) given, you may close the thread with the summary "Resolved."

This goes for chat-related questions too (so long as they're innocuous).

Hey, i just thought they will tell me if the name is already taken in teh title box. But if so, maybe I could name it Inner demons?

Absolutley. Sorry about that. Total accident. I had a brain fart. Won't happen again. Thanks for understanding.

Temperature?

sounds good to me!

By the way, how can I know if the title is already taken, next time when I'll want to submit something?

Thank you for the help!

Is the story now under your name because you edited it?

I just thought every story should hav their original author mentioned. I just got a little problematized as i am new here

Thank you!

Question regarding Pasta
I recently announced a huge Creepypasta project, In Torment. Now, as with any massive pasta, it will be released in different sections, as no one wants to sit down and read a 10,000 or so word creepypasta at once. My problem lies with the fact the first part may not be *that* scary, but the other parts may not make sense without it, should it be removed for this reason. Any advice? ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 22:09, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Hey um..
Max and Ruby 0004 has like 30 cliches in the story (blood, ebay, satanic messages etc) and one respected guy on youtuber (ThatCreepyReading) covered that in one video. Jeff the Killer and Sonic.exe (2 famous pastas) were removed because they had so much cliches and were removed but this one stays because no reason. I'm just saying I think it needs to be removed due to awful amount of cliches in it (in my opinion). Jfgoofy (talk) 02:37, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Enquiries about re-uploading a story
Hi, I was just wondering about what to do next regarding a story I would like to re-upload. I posted it in the writer's workshop after it was deleted by Empyreallnvective, and I have taken the feedback on board and altered my story accordingly. I was just wondering now how I go about re-uploading it. Seeing as I have added quite a lot into the story, I was wondering if I could just re-upload it with a different title, or do I need to make a deletion appeal?

Thanks, Natalo (talk) 00:46, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Question about submission/affiliation
Hi Tom,

I was chatting with you yesterday about story titles, you said if I had any questions come here. So I'm here with a few questions. First thing, (maybe a dumb question), I was wondering what affiliation creepypasta wiki and creepypasta.com have? I've read rules/guidelines/FAQ on both sites...and still don't get it. I may have missed something somewhere, so forgive me if I have. I tried to google the difference, thought I found something, but I was taken to creepypasta.com's FAQ and didn't find anything to explain the difference. And second, if I've submitted a story on creepypasta, can I still submit a story to creepypasta wiki? I would have submitted here to begin with, but stumbled upon creepypasta.com first. I appreciate you taking the time to read my questions, as well as taking the time to answer my questions and help me out.

Thank you a bunch CaseyR86 (talk) 03:28, January 15, 2015 (UTC)CaseyR

Emergency Alert Notification
<p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">I noticed you gave me a strike against a Creepypasta, namely 'Emergancy Alert Notification'. I was merely helping with mistakes in logic, and did nothing to hamper the overall quality of the story. I do apologize, yes, but I do think it was somewhat necessary.

WHY DID YOU DELETE MY THING, I SPENT LIEK 3 hrs on it AND IT MET THE STANDARDS!(Agk2015 (talk) 16:34, January 15, 2015 (UTC))

I didn't 'delete' it. I merely edited it, and added a sense of suspense. Compare it to your original draft, keep an open mind, and come back to me when you want to talk about it in a smart, intelligant conversation.

Oh, a different story, if I follow. Dude, if it doesn't qualify, just put it on the NoSleep reddit or some bullshit. Just sod off, kid. Also, read some Edgar Allan Poe.

Re
Very good catch. No wiggle room here. It was a blatant copy. Even more, the author says at the bottom of the story he deleted that it was "his first story". Balls of steel there. Usually three months was the route we followed, but since plagiarism has been such a problem lately (and this idiot tried so hard to pass the story off as his own), I'm upping his block to six months.

People that do this make my fucking blood boil.
