The quality standards do need updating. We're all working on it as a group. Users and admins.

First of all the definition of "good" does not begin or end with the opinions of the admins, firstly the "poetry" category is mostly filled with non-poems. People don't seem to know how to write poetry. While I can't speak for your poem, a common problem is that there is no meter, no scheme, it's mostly just prose formatted to look like a poem.

Secondly, we guage on plot progression, development, tension, character, and much of this also hinges on whether something is totally cliched or not. So while grammar, diction, structure, etc. are all definitely things we look at it doesn't always make or break a pasta. Our standards need to be updated for the general public, but the editors and reviewers outside of the admins, such as myself and several others, all guage on a standard of quality that lightly mirrors that of a publisher. That is to say, we're less strict than a publisher, but we're also exacting in what it is that makes the pasta good. With that being said, Creepypasta.com actually is what you're talking about. The people that run that site don't only look at quality, it also teeters heavily on their personal preference.

I encourage you to post on the writer's workshop forum and become a member of our community. We're not out to get you.

And for the record, the previous comment mentioning other wikis. We are the most active and the premier place on the net for creepypasta. Many other wikis exist without quality standards created by a mass variety of disgruntled ex-users. None of them last.
