Non-Disc Record - Savanac

OCuin 13 Nov 2020 20:48

Savanac (S:3 days, W: 3 days) has been engaging in some unnecessary and over-the-line behaviour on the forums.

In this thread they backseat moderated, additionally in an unnecessarily authoritative and vehement manner.

If you click the "options" button located in the bottom right hand corner of your article you are able to edit the page however many times you like (I even edited this comment several times as an example.)

It is outlined in the required reading for the Ideas Critique form that you should "not create a new thread for a concept already on the forum, unless the current thread has not been posted on in 14 days or longer."

And also "do not ask staff to delete threads that you are no longer working on. Staff only delete material that contains severe rulebreaking; discontinued threads are locked instead."

And now I am getting nitpicky but "Each author is limited to posting two new concept threads per week (every 7 days)" and you have posted 3.

All right here.

(To anyone who doesn't know what I am referring to —> Bam!)

They engaged in similar, although less vehement, behaviour in this thread.

You've gotta format this in the way listed in the required reading for this forum.

Right here

They then posted the following feedback to this thread, which was unnecessarily vehement. Cybersqyd staffposted.

"Central Narrative: There, basically isn't one"

I'd critique this mindset, but I have your own words do that for me:

"People on this site are all-about the stories: if your object is intended to simply BE an object, an anomaly about which people are expected to draw their own conclusions and think for themselves, it is unlikely to be well-received, so I've been told. Try to come up with some meta-narrative for where the [object] came-from, why it does what it does, and what it will do in the future." -Nemo of Utopia, person trying to write an SCP without a central narrative.

And don't hit me with "the Foundation is as of yet without an answer to the SCP's origin and the reason behind its properties" because that's an excuse, not narrative. if you want to see that kind of writing done right, check out SCP-5041.

Keep an eye on them.

The vehemence has gone down, but they're still leaving some comments that are on the edge of Rule 0, such as http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-13885705/the-mother-of-a-hell-spawn-goat-fetus#post-4830682

Worth keeping an eye on.
