"...an honestly struggling site..." - How is the 'site honestly struggling? We have a dedicated community of users who contribute extremely high quality stories at a good regularity, and, if you prefer to think about it this way, generally get >100000 page views daily. That, in my opinion, is not honestly struggling.

"...help the admins on here already try to be a bit better..." "...admins who see these stories, miss the flaws, and then let them stay and get wasted. I know that stories do slip through the cracks..." - Obviously, it would be impossible for us to spot every single possible floor in every story that gets posted, and some stories slip through the cracks, however our non-admin community members (of which there are quite a few) are able to tag stories for review and deletion, so if we miss a story, a non-admin will often alert us to it with those.

I don't get why you seem to perceive our community as this huge, abusive, non-constructive beast, that exists only to adore bad stories and shun the good. In fact, on this wiki at least, the community is quite the opposite. The majority of our community are welcoming towards new members, as well as older members, and are willing to listen to each other's views on stories, as opposed to harassing them over them.

With regards to your paragraph about the stories, do you not think that there have been countless discussions over whether Laughing Jack, Dead Bart, etc should be deleted? Because believe me, there have, and the community has decided to keep them. If you think people will be influenced to write bad stories based on them, you clearly haven't seen that we have whole sections on how to write Creepypasta properly, and advising users to avoid taking inspiration from overpowered Gary Stus and Mary Sues.
