I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I agree that standards are important to ensuring that this section of the site doesn't descend into chaos. I am just commenting that as a new writing user, I am potentially going to make this site better and stronger for all users. If you delivered the same corrections using a more inclusive tone, you would not threaten the precious resource of new content contributors.

Hi Platypus. I think it's great that you are keeping an eye on things and ensuring proper grammar and such. But honestly when the option is between a blank page or a page that's not quite perfect for your liking, well deleting the whole thing and leaving the page as a broken link doesn't really help anyone. If you wanted to fix up the issues, or wanted to replace it with something better that is fine. Perhaps there is an option to flag a page for cleanup later if you don't have time (or maybe someone else can do it). But deleting pages that are reasonable but not perfect in favor of absolutely nothing is not an improvement in my opinion. There are a lot of story lines on here that dead end and need finishing and not only does your practice make it very disappointing for readers to not be able to finish a story arc, but it also discourages editors from wanting to come back and help finish some story arcs.

I appreciate your protectiveness of your source material, but try being more hospitable. No reason to delete things when the changes aren't more than link perspectives or minor punctuation problems. You clearly don't want to write all 64,000 pages that would be needed to finish and tie together Rampage, or any other of your stories. So stop impeding people who are helping add more content to the site by wholesale deleting everything anybody writes with 2 missed periods or a run-on sentence or two. Try leaving the message and see if I'll fix it first, at the very least.[[User:Makhai|Makhai]] 13:57, 12 December 2014 (UTC).

Platypus...this is Bustyalix.  You recently messaged me about including the STATUS BAR, but I have no idea how to go about doing so.  Is there any way you and I may converse privately?  I'd be more than happy to include my personal email address if necessary.  Please get back to me on this matter.  Thanks!

I'm still new at this, so I don't appreciate the attitude. Yes, it'll take me some time getting used to this HTML like format, yes I'll make some errors now and again, but no that does not mean you have the right to strike an attitude with me. I haven't really worked with a status bar before, and I honestly didn't even realize I had to do anything with it. I'm still learning, rather teaching myself this strange format, so don't come to me in a hard and demeaning tone because I didn't do something the way you wanted it, because I am fairly new at this.

Platypus, this is eatenbypie. I appreciate that you pay attention to things like categorization of pages, but deleting work two hours after being warned and threatening to ban a new user because I missed categorization on 6-8 pages is excessive, especially given that the site doesn't notify you about warnings. Simple oversight on my part, and obviously an oversight given that the rest of the story has proper categorization. -Edit Not bothering to recreate my work on this site.

Apologies for the tense problems.  I've been proofreading my stuff since I'm used to writing in past tense, but some things slip through the cracks it seems.  As for quirky titles... do you mean the link/page title thing?  The first was due to a page collision.  I suppose I could have changed the action prompt to something else, but I consider that a part of the story itself, and didn't want to change it due to a collision.  Those are rare, I guess.  The second was due to a plan where two mini-storylines would converge to the same page... but the actions to get there would be different.  In this case I would prefer to use a third page title rather than favor one of the two storylines.  The third time I did it... yeah, that was just for my amusement, and it would be a simple matter to limit usage of alternate titles and use them only when needed.  So... yeah.

Hey platypus, just a quick question. I have a guy adding to my story using very little detail and it doesn't even follow the story.

Heya Platypus, I just wanted to ask you how high the writing standards are for this website, as I'm currently working on a CYOA story that I'd really love to post here... but sometimes my punctuation is lacking. I only ask because I've noticed a lot of people on this page complaining about you deleting their stories/pages. I would hate for that to happen to me.

Hello there, I was wondering if you could help me delete two pages of my own story please, for I can't seem to delete them myself.

In my defence of the above accusations, I would like to bring Blackdragon's attention to the message that appears at the bottom of the edit window. Specifically, if you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit here. The majority of my recent edits have centered around spelling, grammar, and readability, although I admit that here or there I add some embellishment or make changes to improve consistency and continuity. No one else on here seems to have a problem with that and realize that wikis are designed with collaboration in mind, and collaborative storytelling only makes for better more well rounded stories. In any case, I submit that if he considers his writing to be a sacred text that he changes his story type to private. But I'm definitely done with his whining. He will see no further contributions from me.

You are totally wrong about written descriptions of underage sex being illegal.  The fact that the material could be considered obscene, and thus illegal (in the US) would actually apply equally to any story with any extreme sexual activity.  It can be applied to rape, bestiality, and just about ANY story that contains sexual descriptions.  It is based on a remnant of a struck down child protection law that was unconstitutional, which is why it is sited for material directly related to children.  The law is laughable, and you may have found one of the few cases where it was actually used, and the only one that I am aware of that actually made it through successfully.  The user who pointed it out to you must be a free speech hating Nazi to bring up such an unlikely and remote senario as based on such a law.  If this law were actually a problem, the largest sex story site on the internet '''www.asstr.org''' would not exist.  No reasonable court would rule that you are guilty of transporting obscenity for something someone else wrote on your website. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your site, but if the "no pedo stories" rule stands; I will be leaving.  Sincerely --[[User:Elerneron|Elerneron]] 00:56, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Actually [[The Humiliation of Katie]] may have some offending sections as well. I don't know how in depth we are planning on going here (age wise), but "[[Katie, who just hit puberty, is in her first year of high school at the age of 13]]" and "[[Katie, small and unknown to the town, enters a new elementary at the age of 6]]" would be offending sections. I didn't particularly want so young of ages to be used but I wasn't aware of the whole deletion possibility at the time. If necessary, I can raise the age of the 16 and 17 years on that story. But let me know if I should first before you delete them (the [[Katie, small and shy about her body, trying out for cheerleading at 16]] and [[Katie at 17, who deals with an exceptionally bad school year along with her family's attempts of getting closer together]] if you do decide to. - [[User:Uman|Uman]] on October 3, 2015

I don't usually like bitching and complaining, but this [[Katie Leaves the Locker Room After Five Minutes]] here was flagged for pedophilia somehow.
