2020-05-24 09:36:14 DrFenyang: If anyone could have a look, I need opinions and greenlights: http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/dr-fenyang, http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/dr-fenyang-s-second-scp, http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/dr-fenyang-s-third-scp, http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/dr-fenyang-s-fourth-scp.
2020-05-24 09:37:14 OCuin: DrFenyang: greenlights are given to idea threads
2020-05-24 09:37:28 DrFenyang: Damn it
2020-05-24 09:37:32 OCuin: Also, that is… a lot of drafts to just throw in here
2020-05-24 09:38:24 froideriko: THAT FIRST DRAFT
2020-05-24 09:38:32 DrFenyang: Are you saying I'm spamming? Because, I'm not. The whole point of this is to get opinions, O'Cuin
2020-05-24 09:38:33 froideriko: is like the hotel skip
2020-05-24 09:38:39 DrFenyang: Hotel what
2020-05-24 09:38:59 froideriko: i think OCuin means that the sandbox drafts can be condensed in one page (see the front page of the sandbox)
2020-05-24 09:39:07 OCuin: I'm not saying you're spamming, but there's not a chance you're going to get crit on all of those
2020-05-24 09:39:08 DrFenyang: Probably
2020-05-24 09:39:13 OCuin: Especially if they haven't been greenlit
2020-05-24 09:39:23 froideriko: the hotel skip is a hotels that turns humans into hotels
2020-05-24 09:39:24 DrFenyang: Bruh
2020-05-24 09:39:35 DrFenyang: I need opinions before I ask for greenlights
2020-05-24 09:39:45 DrFenyang: Opinions mean I can improve it
2020-05-24 09:40:00 Naveil: DrFenyang: that's not how that works
2020-05-24 09:40:10 OCuin: You get greenlights by posting an idea thread on the I&B forums
2020-05-24 09:40:25 OCuin: The purpose of which is to get conceptual critique before you write a full draft, which may need extensive revisions
2020-05-24 09:40:29 Naveil: DrFenyang: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-13282684/required-reading:how-to-use-this-forum-ideas please give this a read
2020-05-24 09:40:30 Th3_No0bz: you can get greenlights here too
2020-05-24 09:40:36 DrFenyang: …
2020-05-24 09:40:47 DrFenyang: I am asking for opinions
2020-05-24 09:40:47 OCuin: You can, but you'll need an idea thread as a record of greenlights
2020-05-24 09:40:50 DrUnoriginal: DrFenyang: I suggest that you kinda, focus on one idea and try to go with it first before trying to juggle multiple ideas/drafts? Keeping it to one idea can give assurance to your reviewers that you'll be focusing on that one only and not like, immediately abandon the draft for another if it doesn't really work?
2020-05-24 09:41:17 DrUnoriginal: (it's not an established rule, but it's more of etiquette, I would say)
2020-05-24 09:41:54 DrFenyang: DrUnoriginal, read them before saying they're crap because I did several. I've been doing these separately, as in one at a time. That's where nothing to do in quarantine got me lol
2020-05-24 09:42:06 OCuin: Nobody has said they are crap
2020-05-24 09:42:20 OCuin: We're recommending you focus on a single idea and utilise the resources provided by the forums
2020-05-24 09:42:26 DrFenyang: I have
2020-05-24 09:42:27 OCuin: In order to create better articles
2020-05-24 09:42:37 Naveil: DrFenyang: what we're trying to tell you is that you should create posts on the Idea Critique Forums before linking drafts
2020-05-24 09:42:42 OCuin: ^
2020-05-24 09:42:51 DrUnoriginal: I didn't say there were "crap", DrFenyang, it was a matter of "if" the drafts need significant revision cuz the base idea may potentially have fundamental flaws that require clarification/fixing up.
2020-05-24 09:43:15 DrFenyang: Potentially. Before saying potentially, go see if they do
2020-05-24 09:43:46 Naveil: DrFenyang: with all due respect, you should probably read the Required Reading post I linked you
2020-05-24 09:44:03 Naveil: it should give you a better understanding of what you should do
2020-05-24 09:45:34 DrFenyang: Naveil, I have a decent understanding of what I should do, and sent the links to my SCPs to obtain opinions to refine them before I actually do anything
2020-05-24 09:45:58 Naveil: DrFenyang: your actions aren't really giving me that impression, if I'm being perfectly honest
2020-05-24 09:46:04 DrUnoriginal: cuz creating multiple drafts and then shooting them off to reviewers (who are unpaid volunteers) kinda gives an impression or a concern that their time might have been used up in a less productive way in the event the idea/draft needed revision. Reviewers aren't really obligated to look through authors' drafts if they feel rather uncomfortable having to read through multiple drafts/ideas, so it would be at your own
2020-05-24 09:46:04 DrUnoriginal: loss, I guess
2020-05-24 09:46:49 Naveil: for new authors, you should seek critique on concepts, rather than drafts
2020-05-24 09:47:23 Naveil: you're technically allowed to seek critique on drafts in this chat, but very few reviewers are going to critique a draft that hasn't been greenlit
2020-05-24 09:47:35 Th3_No0bz: ey i cant create a new thread in the ideas critique forums
2020-05-24 09:47:39 DrFenyang: If its been greenlit, it doesn't need critiques
2020-05-24 09:47:46 OCuin: Yes it absolutely does
2020-05-24 09:47:47 DrFenyang: Because it's been approved
2020-05-24 09:47:54 Naveil: and you have to understand that you've thrown four separate sandboxes into this chat
2020-05-24 09:48:00 Gee0765: Th3_No0bz: you have to join the site by sending an application
2020-05-24 09:48:00 cybersqyd: Th3_No0bz, have you joined the SCP wiki?
2020-05-24 09:48:03 Gee0765: .s join site
2020-05-24 09:48:10 Gee0765: read this page
2020-05-24 09:48:21 Naveil: with no indication of which one you want reviewers to read, or what you're looking for
2020-05-24 09:48:22 cybersqyd: dang gee you got there first :3
2020-05-24 09:48:30 Th3_No0bz: cybersqyd, i have an account
2020-05-24 09:48:33 Gee0765: 😎
2020-05-24 09:48:43 cybersqyd: making a wikidot account and joining the SCP wiki are separate things
2020-05-24 09:48:44 DrFenyang: Naveil, I put in the message that I needed opinions
2020-05-24 09:48:54 DrFenyang: Did you not read the message for god's sake
2020-05-24 09:48:55 Th3_No0bz: oh
2020-05-24 09:48:55 DrUnoriginal: discreetly hands the issue over to the 0ps
2020-05-24 09:49:04 Naveil: "opinions" can mean anything
2020-05-24 09:49:04 Gee0765: zoop
2020-05-24 09:49:18 DrFenyang: No, it can't
2020-05-24 09:49:28 Gee0765: DrFenyang: dude getting pissy with critters is the number one way to make sure you never get any feedback
2020-05-24 09:49:31 OCuin: DrFenyang: There are two main stages of critique on this site: conceptual and draft. We are recommending you go through conceptual critique before seeking draft critique as it saves both the efforts of reviewers and your own in writing long drafts that might need fundamental revisions
2020-05-24 09:50:05 cybersqyd: I'm gonna suggest we all stop here; DrFenyang if you have specific questions about greenlighting, you can ask me, otherwise I suggest we all chill.
2020-05-24 09:51:02 DrFenyang: I literally ask for an opinion on drafts in the channel designed for it, and you lot get pissy? Well done, I'm now ignoring this chat for a while
Operator consensus was 24 hour ban.
