Board Thread:Administration/@comment-24304936-20140603171416

I think I need to speak up about something here. I had to delete a story that someone wrote; fellow admins can view it here. For the users that can't view it, it was a story directly related to the events yesterday through the fictitious "Slenderman's" point of view. Not only is this tasteless, I think it's repulsive that someone would try and use the event to stroke their own personal ego (and yes, it violates the "no spin-off" rule anyway, but that's beside the point). And as most of you already know, this tragedy is national news. Hell, this news article even quoted Slosh's blog. Yesterday's stabbing wasn't a game or some story on this site, folks. It was very real and people need someone to blame (our site). Thank God the girl is in recovery and will probably make it through.

Anyway, this isn't a voting thread. I just wanted to be clear that stories like this aren't appropriate or are the sort of attention this site wants, needs or will tolerate. I ask for you all to keep your eyes peeled for stories like this, and if spotted, let the admin team know so that we can handle it.

Thanks,
