Site user Gooiff (Wikidot and site member for 523 days) today vandalized two pages by different authors. A whole tale was replaced with just the sentence "cheesy socks, ok?". An SCP changed to be full of references to Thanos including changing its object class to "worse than thanos" and replacing a large part of the article with just "blah".
Edit: Zyn permabanned. With Zyn's permission I sent the ban PM and moved this thread to the Disc forum.
Agreed.
I have negative sympathy for people who try to use mental illness to justify their poor conduct on the site or make us feel guilty for disciplining them. We should reject any future applications of hers.
Perhaps. While I doubt the SCP is related to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, the disease does relate to the SCP. Thanks a lot China (and to a lesser extent Israel).
Official warning. Please ban on next offense.
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
This user also edited SCP-sqrt-1-j and SCP-2475 to have an animated snowflake effect on 12 March. Edits reverted by Corvus.
Looking through their edit history, they also had an edit on the Classification Committee Memo consisting of a joke/troll addition of an ACS module, which was reverted by FloppyPhoenix shortly after it was made.
can I get some nice "no signatures on my forum"

understandable have a nice day
User Blobfishsand, member 27 Feb 2020, 03:36 (36 days ago), wikidot 22 Jun 2019, 19:41 (285 days ago) has made a few edits to articles.
They changed the object class of SCP-4645 from "Euclid" to "Euclid Keter Euclid". This was reverted by the author.
Additionally they have made some additions to collaborative logs, and in the process edited other entries.
Log Of Anomalous Items, Vol II:
removed "old", changed "three inch" to "three-inch"
A three-inch nail which, after it’s 200 year old existence, can never become iron oxide
Experiment Log 423 A:
added "despite no evidence that it could before," and changed "said" to "stated"
When questioned about its ability to write a program in Java, despite no evidence that it could before, SCP-423 stated that it "just sort of knew how."
PM sent:
Posting to note that the article in question was summarily deleted with Modulum witnessing.
I am not Disc. Here just to provide some more info.
That article had had to be deleted by staff three times today, not just two (the other time it was deleted).
Before their interaction with Zyn, this user had already been PMd three times during the day - once about gaming site procedure by publishing an unrewritten repost, and twice about removing the in-deletion staff process tag.
Got a quick reply…
I am sorry for my behavior. But when you guys deleted my first scp I was heartbroken. I thought everyone hated it and so I tried repeating it to give it another chance. I was really hoping that 5827 would be a big hit, but I was wrong. I'm just really hurting during these bad times and I thought this would bring me happiness, but you guys just brought be depression. You know why my scp has autism, anxiety, and depression? It's because I suffer from them, I just wanted to connect with other people that suffer with these things. So if you guys don't like it that's fine, but I believe that what I think as the author what I think matters most.

So uh… not sure if we want to necessarily let them rejoin…
New site member Marina Hatzigiannis (account age 16 days, site membership 2 days) recently coldposted a rather low-quality article:
SCP-5827 is a twenty-three year old caucasion male, 190.754 cm (6’3) tall and 82 kg (180 lbs) with brunette hair and emerald green eyes, is of Eastern European descent and with a mesomorph build. SCP-5827 appears to have multiple scars on his body. Subject has black wolf-like ears and a black wolf-like tail. Subject is able to make these appear and disappear, giving him a regular human form, which SCP-5827 has confirmed is his original form. Has a brand on his right shoulder in the shape of a wolf's head. Subject is also able to transform into a 15 ft (457.2 cm) black wolf entity with dark reddish eyes, has claws as sharp as harpy eagle claws, and has a bite force of a hippopotamus. In wolf form, SCP-5827 can run 75 mph.
Which was deleted per standard process: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-13110181/deletions-64:in-fact-i-am-the-book-on-sailing#post-4578728 The user then reposted the work within the hour, and it was summarily deleted: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-13110181/deletions-64:in-fact-i-am-the-book-on-sailing#post-4578794
About half an hour ago, they reposted it yet again under a different slot: http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-5837/comments/show

Second repost has been summarily deleted, the author's membership has been revoked, PM sent.
Confirming that the above is correct. Thank you RTME!
I've been feeling incredibly stressed lately, so I'm taking a break until I believe I'm able to be active enough to carry out my duties.
Thank you, RTME. I appreciate the clarification.
I'd say that, yes, you are correct. Forum moderation is a part of the program as I understand it, which includes some degree of correcting users when it comes to the guidelines.
However, I will say that it becomes an issue when flight officers are addressing things that would be better handled by someone with proper authority. I've asked my flight officers to do some light moderation, but requested that they run more serious offenses to me so I can handle it.
In short, directing users to stick to the format and such is fine, as long as they don't represent themselves as staff, because they are not staff.
A question came up in #site17 today, and I'd like to seek clarification.
Are the flight officers allowed to direct users to use the correct format when they fail to do so? As in, would directing a user in this way be considered backseat modding, or would it be covered under the Flights mandate?
It is my understanding that this policy initiative is designed to ease pressure on site staff in dealing with the forums, and this would definitely fall under that. Am I correct in this?
Works for me. The audacity to try and plagiarize one of the most popular articles on the site. Some people, man. Perma.
Ban enacted
As you wish.
This is your notice that you have been permanently banned from the SCP Wiki.
Thank you,
Magnus
The Visual Records wiki is now officially and permanently turned over to the Licensing Team as part of the effort to ensure it is a useful resource for housing CC-by-SA 3.0 images and the SCP Wiki Senior Staff as a whole.
I will be transferring the position of Master Administrator to Elogee Fishtruck as they are the current Image Czar.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Take care of yourself first of all.
Hope all that work doesn't prevent you from taking some time for yourself to feel more refreshed.
This whole COVID-19 thing has really thrown me for a loop. I've managed to keep my job, but in doing so have managed to wind up with nearly all 40 hours of work crammed into just 3 days of my week. Combining that with my house being far too full for comfort now that everybody else I live with has been laid off, I just need a little bit of a breather.
I'll still be around in chat and I'll try to do a few things on site when I can, but I'll be taking it easy for the next two weeks or so. I plan to still be working with Hatcheye and F15H35 on Flight Two though, no worries on that front.
