Q 1. How do you expect to correct thousands of story with grammar?

A 1. I don't. Just because it's impossible to correct every story doesn't mean it should be disallowed. That's like saying to a cop "There's no way you can catch all of the criminals, some will get away, so if you see a criminal you are not allowed to catch him". Even correcting the grammar of some articles will raise the net quality of the wiki, if just by a little bit.

Q 2. It appears like a waste of time

A 2. Well, I don't think it is a waste of time, but it's okay for you to think it is, just don't do it. There is no need to say that no one can do it just because you personally don't want to.

Q 3. It does not let users see its original quality.

A 3. I think that works of fiction should be judged by their quality as stories, not by superficial things like grammar. You may not know this but people who write professionally often have editors who correct any grammar mistakes they make.

Q 4. You can not really expect to go to a random page and do the same thing over and over again to correct because that would take too much time.

A 4. I do not expect anyone to do this, I would be completely happy even if I was the only one to ever correct grammar on this site. See A 2

The rest of your questions are just rewordings of the same point. Hit me up if you have any further questions. Again I will respect your decision for the time being, and I am just expressing my distaste. Thanks for listening. To be fair, we are not the Creepypasta Wiki, SCP site, or Wikipedia.

You act like we need to follow their way and correct stories with grammar.

I do not want this site to turn into either of those, we should just leave the stories as their original quality.

Also, how do you expect to correct grammar over thousands of stories being created.

No offense, but we are not the Creepypasta Wiki where we delete any story we consider not professional standard or correct them. Q. We are not the Creepypasta Wiki, SCP site, or Wikipedia. You act like we need to follow their way and correct stories with grammar.

A. That's true. We are not those wikis. Do you know what separates us from those wikis? Quality. You've said it yourself. We need to increase our quality. It would be preferable to have every story be Steven King tier perfect stories, but that just isn't possible. An easy thing someone can do is simply correct the grammar, and raise the quality just a little bit.

The rest of your points were just rewordings of other points that I have addressed

Now I have an honest question for you: Did you consult any other staff members when you decided to suddenly change the rules? Changing the rules is not something that one single admin should have control over especially since everyone who has posted in this thread aside from you (1 admin, 2 mods) have disagreed with the rule change
