Trollpasta Wiki:The Rules: Difference between revisions
this was a tough decision as banning certain topics isn't in the spirit of trollpasta, but ever since the rebranding of the geoshea Wiki there have been periodic spikes of activity where these types of stories are uploaded here to the point where it's become excessive

#Do not upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, limit the functionality of, or enable unauthorized access to any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment.
#Do not forge headers, or manipulate source identifiers or otherwise attempt to disguise the origin of any content made available via the Service.
#Do not access, collect or store personal data about other users in connection with the prohibited conduct and activities described in this
==General Rules==
Line 41:
#You are not allowed to write stories that slander, defame, or spread unsubstantiated rumors and/or gossip about individuals.
#Similarly, do not write stories that are just "Hey guys look at how pathetic and cringy this community is!" - depending on how severely this rule is broken, it will be viewed as either harassment or an attempt to instigate a raid, and you will receive a lengthy ban.
#Your stories should be legible to the average reader. This means yuo can maek stories dat r written liek dis, but stories that are very hard to read are discouraged and will most likely be deleted.
#As stated in rule #1 of the Content Rules section, sexual content must not go over the top. We've had issues in the past with trollpastas whose only jokes are "OMG these characters are having sex!" and not much else. Here are two stories that show you what the limit should be when it comes to writing NSFW trollpastas: [[The Tale of Shrek]], [[Robotnik2.exe]].
#Running already existing stories through Google Translate, Bad Translator, Gizoogle, or any other programs of similar nature and uploading them here is no longer allowed as of September 2023.
Line 50:
==Bad Creepypastas==
#You are not allowed to upload stories with incompatible licenses to this site ''unless'' the author has explicitly stated they are fine with their work being shared. This site is CC
#Some of the bad creepypastas on this site might contain plot elements that some of our admins consider to be a bit too crass. One story might contain excessive violence, another story may contain kids dying, another might contain a kid becoming a serial killer, etc.. We do not encourage or glorify these acts; these pages are merely being stored here as an example of how not to write a horror story, as well as archival purposes (for the sake of several stories not becoming lost media). The point is not for someone to read this story and think it's cool, but to go "This is awful, why did the author think it was a good idea to put this in?" - which is how the community here receives these stories. It's not different to watching a cheesy horror movie.
#Creepypastas that amount to being nothing
#When you upload a bad creepypasta here make sure it's actually amusingly bad. We've recently began deleting some of the newly uploaded bad creepypastas due to them not containing any comedically bad elements that would warrant them being added here. However, we do make exceptions for stories that were written in 2012 or prior, as they do hold some sort of archival value (and provided they follow the rest of the rules).
#Actual SCP Foundation stories are not allowed to be uploaded here.
==Blacklisted Subjects==
Due to the excessive similarity and general lack of quality of these types of stories, as well as wanting to avoid what some people in the pasta community call 'Geoshea traits' or 'Wiki rot', we've decided to blacklist the following story topics: THX, Battle for Dream Island (or 'Death Island'), Teletubbies, the Bluey cartoon, 'Ü pastas' (stories that copy the Toy Story Ü series), Despicable Me, 'Director's Cut' stories, and The Loud House. This does not mean you can't discuss these topics in the comment section or anywhere else on the site, just that you're not allowed to upload stories about them.
