The problem with this suggestion is that Jeff's fanbase won't understand what's happening. They will probably hooray in unison that their favourite pasta is up again.

Even as a bad example, its popularity will continue to grow because of its fanbase. We should cut down its exposure as much as possible, and hopefully the fans will grow up and get over it.

If we need an example of what not to do, we can simply post random deleted stories.

Also, I agree too that it is a cult classic, I just don't want this to be the first thing to spring to people's mind when they hear "creepypasta" or even "short horror story". And I'm afraid for people not familiar with this genre, that is the case.
