This Wiki is one of writing and sharing stories for a particular YouTube channel called SomeOrdinaryGamers and its community to read for an online video series known as "Haunted Gaming", which as you can imagine reads out stories horror related, creepypastas specifically. While we do try to keep most of the writing on here, there are some as you can imagine are not worth keeping. These will be referred to as "trollpastas" to refer to ones that don't meet site standards.

At the end of every one of his videos, Mutahar, founder of SomeOrdinaryGamers, always give out tips of what works and what doesn't work in the particular story he reads. While of course these are subjective, most of them are general statements and an easy guide for any aspiring writer or otherwise.

The majority of trollpastas do not follow any one of his advice and tend to throw any possible error or cliche in the book seemingly delibertely. Most of these posts intend to include the following:


 * The big no-no's in horror writing (excessive blood, "I am a huge fan of...", mindless splatterfests, etc.).


 * Atrocious or borderline unreadable spelling and grammar.


 * Empty image and video placeholders, usually filled by another user.


 * Obvious trolling elements such as sound effects or overuse of capitalization.


 * Authors who attack other users who call their pasta bad or claim that it is against the rules.

We do keep some trollpastas for example and humor purposes. The dragonborn's revenge is a good example of a trollpasta and it is not so much different than the thousands of others we get on an almost weekly basis. While it is amusing the first time or so, we can't have our wiki clogged up with such posts.

This is a general "if they don't respect the writing, the users or even the YouTube channel itself than do they really deserve respect?" kind of thing. It can be assumed that most of these trollpasta authors are just that, trolls. People who go our of their way to annoy communities and websites and after having our inbox EXPLODE with these posts we all tend to get bitter due to the sheer amount of immature individuals looking for a laugh by irritating members of a website, and the people who run it. While we can see and try to improve the harrassment on our part, it is more of a question of who is harrassing whom.

Thank you for your time.
