| La Crosse, WI - USA, The Rivers Edge | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Iowa City, IA - USA, Fields of Rage | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Cape Cod, MA - USA, Rage Across the Cape | Leave it exactly how is | None of these options are actually useful; Gainsville echoed my thoughts on this issue. |
| Berkeley, CA - USA, Wasting the Dawn | Leave it exactly how is | My player base thinks some custom content is good for the game, while some is bad. We don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. We would be for an audit of the current content. We would also be for a reset of the content, with resubmission under more stringent guidelines. As these aren't options, we will go with the current system. This comment has been revised 1 time.

| Stockton, CA - USA, Stockton by Night | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Milwaukee, WI - USA, Nocturnal Rapture | Leave it exactly how is | Remove custom content that was not approved |
| Decatur, IL - USA, The Chaos Within | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Tampa, FL - USA, Tampa Bay by Night | Remove all player custom content | |
| Philadelphia, PA - USA, Honor in the Shadows | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Evansville, IN - USA, Paradise Lost | Leave it exactly how is | Custom content from "our game" is always well-considered fun and reasonable in the context of a specialized plot and setting. Custom content from "that other game" is always exactly like smoking a rock of crack cocaine the size of a Rubik's Cube out of a hollowed-out pumpkin. Productive discussion that respectfully accommodates this prevailing position seems... unlikely. |
| Cedar Rapids, IA - USA, Five Nights | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | |
| Fredericksburg, VA - USA, Caine's Chosen: Liberty in Death | Leave it exactly how is | Unless all forms of custom content can be dealt with in VAmpire Genres than this seems like an incomplete solution. |
| Indianapolis, IN - USA, Stars Never Rise | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | |
| Sorocaba, SP - Brazil, Sorocaba by Night: The Abyss Within | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | ASAP |
| Cedar Falls, IA - USA, Blackhawk Co. by Night | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Norwalk, CT - USA, Rails of Revolution | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | |
| San Francisco, CA - USA, Always Comes Evening | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Atlanta, GA - USA, Whispers of Atlanta | Leave it exactly how is | Only voting this option because the poll options are bad. We advocate making the database and custom content easier to use and allow individual ST staffs to decide whether to allow custom content on an individual case-by-case basis. |

| Ouro Preto, MG - Brazil, Dying of the Light | Remove all player custom content | |
| Vitória, ES - Brazil, Blood and Darkness | Remove all player custom content | |
| Portland, ME - USA, Blackened Veins | Leave it exactly how is | I am very uncomfortable with this all or nothing approach. Custom Content is problematic - some of it is so overpowered as to be insane and some of it is amazingly balanced and rich with story. To say Remove all player custom content punishes those who have worked hard to be balanced, to say leave it [and do nothing] allows stupidly overpowered power creep. |
| Lexington, KY - USA, Panders Playground | Leave it exactly how is | None of the other options are acceptable. |
| Gary, IN - USA, Shattered Souls | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Springfield, IL - USA, Capitol City Cauldron | Leave it exactly how is | Agree with other commenters. |
| Savannah, GA - USA, City of Shadows | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | It was unnecessary to begin with. This comment has been revised 1 time.

| Rohnert Park, CA - USA, Shadows Crossing | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Ann Arbor, MI - USA, Tower of Broken Glass | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Bradenton, FL - USA, Chaos & Entropy | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | I feel it is used as a shopping list. |
| Springfield, OH - USA, Ohio Knights Sabbat | Remove all player custom content | |
| Edwardsville, IL - USA, Caught in Eternal Twilight | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Phoenix, AZ - USA, Unchained Arizona | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Chicago, IL - USA, New Moon Rising | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Worcester County, MA - USA, Quabbin | Leave it exactly how is | Neither option is acceptable - custom content is built to be part of the fabric of several genres, including Mage and Garou. But the current system is insufficient for monitoring/cataloging all content, and ignores all genres but Vampire. We need a better system, not no system at all. |
| Gainesville, FL - USA, Won't Back Down | Leave it exactly how is | Don't like these choices; I'd like better monitoring and vetting for custom content, but not removal nor leaving it "exactly as is". |
| Hartford, CT - USA, Dark Colony | Remove all player custom content | |
| Indianapolis, IN - USA, Past is Prologue | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | In favor of removal of Custom Content Database and Registration, with the understanding that a better more organized format will be created. |
| New Rochelle, NY - USA, Seasons of Strange | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Amador, CA - USA, Gaia’s Call | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Nashville, IN - USA, Tea With Dragons | Remove Custom Content Database and registration | We would like to see all custom content which exists in a game to be published individually by that game in its house rules in order to provide a more ordered format and allow for people to identify the level of allowed custom content in a given game. It is much more relevant for a given player to know what is legitimate in a game they are attending than to try to sort through hundreds of powers from across the org. |
| Bridgeport, CT - USA, Bridgeport by Night: The Broken City | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Baltimore, MD - USA, Dark Harbor | Leave it exactly how is | |
| Salvador, BA - Brazil, Veritas Salvatore | Remove all player custom content | |
| Tampa, FL - USA, Orlando: Magic Kingdom | Leave it exactly how is | Removing it isn't a viable option. I"d rather have the DB handled in a different manner, but i can't say what that manner is right now. Leaving it is, I think the best of the options presented. |
My player base thinks some custom content is good for the game, while some is bad. We don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. We would be for an audit of the current content. We would also be for a reset of the content, with resubmission under more stringent guidelines. As these aren't options, we will go with the current system.
