Another problem I have is the inability to post pastas about certain topics. I can understand where you're coming from on this. I have personally read many terrible spin-offs of Sonic.exe, your generic Pokepasta, and your Squidward's Suicide-esque lost episode. I have, however, read other pastas that take these generic ideas and still make them original and worthwhile to read. Especially considering some of them are very broad restrictions (Pokemon, Minecraft, My Little Pony AND Legend of Zelda in general!?) that could rather hinder otherwise good writers. Anti-Sonic dll, Lavender Test and Disney's River Country are a few examples of some well-written pastas that besides using some of these topics, avoid the notion of bad spin-offs of their ilk. Ah, nice! I personally have read that Disney's River Country pasta.

There is a way to get spinoffs and other blacklisted subjects into the Wiki, but it seems that a lot of people don't know about it...

...maybe we Admins haven't taken the right approach at getting the word out about it. I'll see what I can do to spread the word around the Creepypasta Wiki, to see if the actual mechanism can have a bit more of activity.

Also, is that the main concern? The restrictions on subjects? If so, Zelda pastas are allowed back, as long as it doesn't involve BEN, Sonic is allowed, as long as it isn't Sonic exe, MLP is allowed, as long as it isn't ponies killing each other ala Cupcakes, and haunted cartridges are allowed again, as long as it doesn't have terrible cliché stuff such as...hyperrealistic stuff or I KNOW YOUR NAME stuff.

But I'll admit that Minecraft stuff is more than forbidden, heh.

Also, I think I feel the need to apologize if any of the bans that, well, has affected some of the members in the Wiki involved me as the banning Admin. I assure that I had no personal qualms with anyone...and well, I hope hard feelings aren't hoarded against me...or anybody else.

But yeah, eh, seeing how the issue at hand got solved, I'll once again say thank you for, well, the good faith this had.

Just by the comments in this thread, it is clear that this Wiki is in good hands, and is going to turn into something big! I wish you all the best that can happen to a growing wiki.

Cheers!
