However I don't forbid things I personally don't like. I only remove things if they have very objectionable content that might get the site reported to Fandom again.

The whole point of this site was to be more lenient than VS. A place where people could make pages without fear of them getting taken down or having to abide by some strict Tiering System.

As such I don't want to just strike down on pages since I don't think they're funny. Also how would we even go about coming up with a standard of what's "funny enough" for this site? It'd just be a subjective, arbitrary guideline based on the staff's own personal preferences.

Well, you're far from the only one here who doesn't like spam pages. All of us here so far want them dealt with in some way.

The fact that these pages are becoming increasingly common and slowly overtaking the more "sane" joke pages should worry us. We've already lost a staff member (Alex) to them, and if this keeps up I fear that we will lose more.

I understand that Joke Battles is meant to be a "loose" version of VS Battles, but being a satire-based wiki is not an excuse to forego page expectations. We still need to establish some degree of quality control, lest this site becomes the next Encyclopedia Dramatica.
