Disciplinary - Drygulch

New site member Drygulch (account age 15 days, site membership 11 days) has been making edits to other authors' pages without permission since joining the site. While a small number of the edits addressed SPaG, nearly all of their changes needed to be reverted:

• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/fragment:scp-1893-iteration-d (added an entire new paragraph)
• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5908 (four edits to add additional text to a sentence about Henry Clay and a footnote)
• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2539 (added a link to another SCP article, also reverted back to one of their revisions after someone reverted the changes)
• Added "australia" tag
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-992
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2539
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3370
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5883
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5870
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3477
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4297-j
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2018
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4297
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6004

  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3800
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2319
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5179
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4504
  • http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4159
• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4451 (changed formatting of a word and added a Wikipedia link to a named product)
• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-092 (added edit invisible/commented-out note in the page text "along which axis, exactly? — Ed." and footnote)
• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1539 (edit note "made SCP-1539-02 a little more, uh, interesting" Added sentence "Shortly afterwards, an agent performed "percussive maintenance" on it using a baseball bat. Although the self-directed movement and speech-like sounds stopped, the machine still would not work." and changed spacing after some punctuation. Also added "meta" tag.)

Of note, they were addressed by staff regarding the "australia" tagging, and a non-disc record was held off on pending their response to the PM about tagging. Given that they've continued to violate Site Rules with unauthorized edits, I've revoked their membership. PM has been sent.

Noting that I received two replies, about two minutes apart:

My apologies.

My most sincere apologies.

I did not send a reply. As of now, the user has not re-applied to the site.

Got another reply today (almost a week later):

BTW, how exactly DO I reapply for SCP site membership? Cause I'm not really used to Wikidot stuff. (I am a veteran of Wikipedia and Wikia/Fandom, though.)

Oh, and can you please remove the "Australia" tag from SCP-4159? Because it's still there, sadly.

I sent back:

BTW, how exactly DO I reapply for SCP site membership?

Go to this section of your wikidot messages center: https://www.wikidot.com/account/messages#/applications and delete the previous application for the SCP wiki. Then submit a new application the same way you did upon joining the site for the first time.

Oh, and can you please remove the "Australia" tag from SCP-4159?

Removed, thank you.

Noting that they submitted an application that included the extra text, "(My apologies 4 previously not asking authors b4 editing their SCPs, I never meant 2 vandalize.)" The application was declined.
