I know! But no, i don't think only troll stories will be left. I'm also creating a more serious story. But, still, it will get FULL of it sometimes that we can't find one serious story. That's because troll stories don't need a actual story, that's why it's good for beginners. Troll stories are also easier to create, since they don't have much scripting needed. Or, professional scripting. Altough, there needs to be a good Custom Story browsing, somewhere, like a website. Filtering on Serious stories. What kind of stories like funny or troll stories, or serious ones. So we can focus on those!

The same resources are available to everyone, it is the people who: "rush through things and want more experienced members of the community to do all of their work for them when 100% of their questions are already answered on the forum" that end up making these (excuse my language) idiotic maps.

When I started this (a few months ago), I had 0 knowledge of scripting/mapping, I just loved Amnesia. But, unlike many new members, I took the time to read over the wiki page and familiarize myself. I also studied the actual maps and scripts for TDD (granted that at the time it looked like a foreign language). Since then, I have made at least 4 entire projects (5-10 levels each) that have never been announced and were eventually deleted, because each time I learned more and advanced in my creation skills/knowledge of the engine, I looked back and realized how bad they are. I am far too proud and too much of a perfectionist to release anything under the standards of the original Amnesia game (which is apparently a very rare trait for users on this site).

I will admit I am very close-minded on the subject of custom stories, but only because I feel everyone has the same resources. Every custom story should be like Followed by Death; if you are not willing to put forth the time and effort to make something similar to the original game (as far as mapping/story/atmosphere goes), then you shouldn't be making custom stories. I find it very hard to believe the creators of jump scare maps are proud of themselves.
