This feature was rejected 5/29/2014: I don't think this is very necessary and I think we're moving away from categories

Dumpster Category

I think we should have a Dumpster Category for all the 1 & 2 Rated Stories on the site (since we don't delete them or anything).

Of course, we don't have to call it a 'Dumpster' (even though that is unmistakably what it would be) - we could call it the 'Needs Improvement' Category - or the 'Enjoyability Challenged' Category - or my second favorite (after 'Dumpster') - simply, the 'Toilet'.

"The Hall of Shame"

I think would be a good name.

I 2nd this name.

The sentence underneath it could be something like

"Failed Storygames tell bad tales. No really, they do." or "Broken, Unsuitable or just needs Improvement stories here." or "For those looking for badly made stories to read? Enter Here."

I third this... but I would also agree with "Free points" because it's so damn true. >.>

So, wait, how would you feature a game from that category? xD Is the criteria "the best of the worst" or "it's so bad, you just have to see it"?

Cesspit

Ashtray

Septic Tank

Wasteland

I think the horrible stories should have a separate genre if they aren't deleted - maybe at first it can be a place where mods+ manually put bad games (if they do not meet a certain set of standards or based on the moderators opinion) - further down the line if that seems to work or not work, an option to rate the game to go to the [Wasteland] can be added. If you rate it to go to the [Wasteland] then you have to provide a short comment as to why (filtering lazy trolls). A comment at least 50 characters and max 120 or something. OR to even be able to rate the story to go to the [Wasteland], you'd have to be a member of the site for a certain amount of time or have a certain amount of points (some restriction to further prevent trolls: point amount, forum posts, storygame count, trophies, or manual permission given by a mod+).

Not Deadland! Deadland is an awesome place! Haven't you ever read Judge Dredd!?

And let's try to keep our names out of the bathroom on this one, Fartstinkfetish would enjoy having his stories put there.
