Disciplinary - Excer

Zyn 04 Dec 2019 04:26

I'm surprised they don't have an O5 about this yet.

Excer has a habit of posting ideas critique threads, receiving feedback, either ignoring the response entirely or commenting once or twice in response, and discarding the current idea and moving immediately to other threads, thereby essentially wasting reviewers' time.

Of note, they number every thread that they've made, starting from June:

• 24 Jun http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12129370/scp-1-excer-idea (was scrapped)
• 28 Jun http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12157668/scp-2-excer-idea
• 7 Jul http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12196389/scp-3-excer-idea ("I think that this idea is probably a bit cliche now and so it would probably be better to scrap it as there isn't anything creative in it.")
• 10 Jul http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12205723/scp-4-excer-idea ("I don't think that's gonna work, I'm not burnt out, i'm just now squeezing and putting stuff together since my charger plug just isn't producing any of the ideas with the same elements that I originally tried.")
• 11 Jul http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12208449/scp-5-excer-idea
• 27 Jul http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12260356/scp-6-excer-idea (was "immediately trashed")
• 27 Jul http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12260403/scp-7-excer-idea (first time they were addressed by staff about repeatedly posting ideas threads with the same issues)
• 29 Jul http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12262564/scp-8-excer-idea (thread was originally another "scp 7" title)
• 1 Aug http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12267925/scp-9-excer-idea (second time they were addressed by staff for lack of improvement and excessive thread posting/dropping)
• 3 Aug http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12271592/scp-10-excer-idea
• 19 Aug http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12360327/scp-11-excer-idea
• 22 Aug http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12380909/scp-12-excer-idea
• 13 Sep http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12535703/scp-13-excer-idea (no reply to reviewers)
• 16 Sep http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12548682/scp-14-excer-idea (no reply to reviewers)
• 18 Sep http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12556156/scp-15-excer-idea (no reply to reviewers)
• 29 Nov http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12838812/scp-16-excer-idea
• 29 Nov http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12838898/scp-17-excer-idea
• 3 Dec http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12843471/scp-18-excer-idea (per ARD, was Dr. Octagonapus as an SCP, which is effectively plagiarism)
• 3 Dec http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12843493/scp-19-excer-idea

Not sure if it matters, but they've also remained a relatively active member of the RPC wiki.

Do we want to revoke at this point? It seems like they have no intention of improving their work at this point, and it's not fair for reviewers to continuously attempt to assist this person simply because they keep slinging stuff into the forums.

And they've scrapped yet another thread, after multiple reviewer replies: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12843493/scp-19-excer-idea#post-4438353'

ETA: and posted two more today:

• http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12844392/scp-20-excer-idea
• http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12844419/scp-21-excer-idea

Revoke enacted. PM sent.

Re-applied, accepted. Keep an eye on.

They've been back a whole FIVE HOURS and came up with this absolute gemstone of an idea: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12873723/scp-23-excer-idea

+ show block

Before asking, yes I do have Aspergers.

So my idea for this SCP is that the condition known as Aspergers has now been identified as an Anomaly.
How it's suddenly been identified as an anomaly is due to a recent video capture of people being followed by strange entities, and all have Asperger Syndrome. The entities have caused the SCP to become Keter class since all people with Asperger syndrome now have these entities following them.
The SCP then causes people to start engaging in signs typically associated with Aspergers and seems to actually increase in growth as the person grows older but stops growing upon the anomaly reaching 26-30 years of age.
Once it reaches somewhere in there, it becomes more hostile and begins looking for a pregnant female in which it seems to attach itself to and will quickly do the same process by causing the child to have symptoms described with that as Aspergers and through some process become bigger.
Once reaching a certain height, the entities can then become more physical and will begin attacking any life forms in sight.

I staffposted to tell them that making the millions of people who have Asperger's Disorder an SCP is not, in fact, a good idea.

Noting that they also posted a second thread (they seem to post things in 2-3 thread spurts): http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12873624/scp-22-excer-idea

It would make sense that because of the existence of civilisations like SCP-3003 or SCP-1484 that the Foundation should have some sort of ambassidary group to make contact with these civilisations. I know that the Foundation already has groups to deal with these sorts of things but I thought like making sort of a page for it since there is an Ethics Committee page and a Nexus page but since this is somewhat of a thing I see that has lots of potential then I was wondering if a page should be made for it.

…there's no mention of what the page type would be, what its content would be, how they intend to present it…

They've chosen to do a "revamp" of their Aspergers idea, with a new thread: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12875537/scp-24-excer-idea

Do we want to escalate to a ban, given that they've repeatedly ignored feedback while at the same time insisting that they don't ignore feedback?

Re: Disciplinary - Excer

Zyn 28 Dec 2019 01:40

…and today they posted this feedback to another site member, essentially telling them to mimic Excer's own behavior: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12878427/lucid-dreaming#post-4455710

My advice would be to let this idea go completely

There are already SCPs with tons of logs dedicated to exploring other worlds like SCP-507, SCP-2935 or SCP-354 and many others which have world exploration so I believe that’s become a bit cliche now.

Exploration logs are losing their touch for certain exploration based SCPs so I wouldn’t suggest any attempt at doing this.

Dropped a C&D. Ban on next infraction.

Noting that they've continued to be extremely picky with their reviewers, even after these threads:

• http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12880970/anyone-know-any-gaw-critics
• http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-12905872/can-you-re-ask-for-criticism

Specifically, they have continued to ask me for feedback by trying to find a small portion of their material that suits my listed interests/skills in an attempt to get me to review material that I've already told them isn't really suited for my writing background.

To keep everyone in the loop, this is the most recent PM I sent them in response to a critique request:

I am not interested in reviewing for you, as nearly all of the critique I have provided to you thus far has gone ignored. Please seek feedback from someone else and polish up your material before asking me.

Their response was:

I tried to make stuff out of it but okay then.

Re: Disciplinary - Excer

Zyn 11 Feb 2020 06:43

Noting that they've posted concept number 25, which was 865 words (almost 350 over the forum limit): http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-13030397/scp-25-excer-idea

After receiving one review, they immediately scrapped the concept, which is the same behavior that earned them a revoke in the first place.

Re: Disciplinary - Excer

Zyn 13 Feb 2020 06:13

And today they've posted concept number 26, another joke article that seems to indicate they haven't really learned from previous posts: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-13037384/scp-26-excer-idea

Given the pattern of behavior here, do we want to move to a long ban? The user has been given many, many chances to improve and make reviewer time spent on them worthwhile.

Monthlong?

Re: Disciplinary - Excer

DrEverettMann 13 Feb 2020 06:20

I'd agree on a ban. We can't help someone who doesn't seem to want to do better.

Re: Disciplinary - Excer

RJB_R 13 Feb 2020 23:20

I’m in favor of a month.

Ban enacted. Can someone send the notification?

Sent:

You've been banned from the SCP wiki for one month for continued failure to listen to moderation on properly developing your ideas.

Please take this time to review the advice you have been given previously and improve your behavior in the future.

DrEverettMann 03 May 2020 23:19

They asked to return, promising they understood their mistake and would not repeat it this time. Their ban was up, so I told them to reapply and warned them that next time will almost certainly lead to a permanent ban.
