Library Database Curation Question

Post by Farquaar » #620238

I noticed some old creepypastas I added to the library database are no longer there. Did they get curated out somehow? Or did they disappear when paper-writing got overhauled? (I used a lot of formatting to make it legible)

they were removed under rule 8 for being creepy

In seriousness, there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the removals. Some really juvenile shock-writing is still there, which is why I'm leaning towards the latter theory.

They likely got curated. Library entries don't disappear, they're all (mostly) still there.
In fact hey I can check.

8193, 8197, 8336, 8341 and 9903 are still there
9902 and 9904 are deleted. Curation is down to just admins cause of how caustic some more recent books have been, so I imagine someone saw them while purging porn, looked at the names and first few lines, and just nuked. Be like that sometimes. IDK didn't really read that closely

I uploaded the moth copypasta to library a few months ago and it disappeared.

That’s unfortunate. 9902 was “Normal Porn for Normal People”: a classic creepypasta that, while not what I’d call family-friendly, certainly isn’t porn/smut. 9904 was quite literally a spooky story that kids would tell on the elementary school playground, with an SS13 coat of paint. Pretty annoying, especially since the former took me a whole round to format legibly.

It’s a real downer to make a legitimate effort to submit good content to the library, only for it to get deleted because some admin thought the title was icky and didn’t bother to read it.

it may also have been deleted because it was a duplicate of something that was already in the library.
