This report is excerpted/mostly copy-pasted based on a PM I was sent.
It was recently brought to my attention that Kane775 does not match any existing user name recently downvoted this essay from Hippo on sentence clauses: http://www.scp-wiki.net/essays-by-a-hack-sentence-clauses
Per their scpper history: http://scpper.com/user/2835335
- They've downvoted all of Hippo's articles for April, and a few of Hippo's early articles, along with a co-authored piece (which features the original pride logo).
- They've downvoted four of kinch's articles.
- They've downvoted four of Tufto's articles (notably all of which display a variant pride logo). No upvotes.
- They've downvoted one of Decibelle's articles (notably, they upvoted another article of hers much earlier; might just be coincidence. Neither the article they upvoted or downvoted features a logo).
- They downvoted Ellie3's article (Cottonmouth), which features the original pride logo.
- They downvoted Uncle Nicolini's article (S&C Paper), which features the original pride logo.
- They downvoted ResearcherSehppard's article (SCP-4895), which features the original pride logo.
- They downvoted ScarfDyedShadow's article (SCP-3819), which features the original pride logo.
- They downvoted Alces_alces article (A Passed-away Pup), which features the original pride logo.
Out of 31 total downvotes, that's 19 downvotes that target a page displaying a pride logo (IE, 19/31, or approx. 62%). Additionally, they are fairly active on the RPC wiki.
Of note, while it's generally accepted if people downvote on the basis of a theme, this user has downvoted Tufto's articles, which use an entirely different pride logo (which is much more clearly integrated into an entirely different theme — a theme present on articles that they have upvoted). Between Tufto's articles and the others, these are the only custom CSS articles they've downvoted. Per the PM, "That, combined with the presence in RPC, tells me they're likely not voting based on any aesthetic principle — but rather, "get this gay shit out of my SCP"."
Given all this, I have revoked their site membership. PM has been sent.
Are we instating a ban for this?
