• Account age and activity
• Similarity in comment style
• Focus on particular articles which are not widely known
• Similarity in behavior with site members

There was discussion in chat where it was agreed that the circumstances were too suspicious, and thus a ban for evasion should be applied. Disciplinary team members in agreement: aismallard, ManyMeats, Vivarium, Zyn.

This is in line with our rule of "Users currently banned from the site may not submit new articles or other works to the site in any way."

Works included:

• Harick's Skipwave Authorpage
• On The Existence Of The Light
• Guide to SCP Writing: #67-68
• SCP-6914

The following points were brought to staff attention in support of this claim:

• Both users primarily engaging in only cold-posting.
• Similarity in writing style and grammar choices/mistakes.
• Heavy focus on Broken Masquerade/lolFoundation references, and tales featuring similar SCP objects between the two authors.
• Similarity in behavior/interactions with specific site members
• Multiple messages from Kaldahl in chat platform(s) where Harrick is spontaneously mentioned. (Screenshots available to staff on request).

At this point, the evidence presented to staff seems far too numerous to be merely coincidental. As such it is highly likely this user is, in fact, an alt of DrKaldahl. This would be subject to a perma-ban, which is the action I am recommending at this time.

The following PM has been sent to inform them of the situation:

EDIT: Noting that I received the following response to the above ban notification:

I would be willing to disengage from RPC as I do not like it much in any case. I will not leave Harmony's server regardless of any SCP Wiki penalties.

Given the recent exchanges demonstrated below, I am now in favor of a perma.

I feel that the temporary ban and conditions for re-entry were a way for the user to show that they have changed, that they are willing to work on their behavior and participate in good faith. Their actions since the ban have demonstrated the opposite. As such, I feel like we should extend the ban, perhaps six months to a year.

That said, it might be a moot point. We requested them to disengage from AHT involved communities prior to reinstating membership, and so far they have not done that. Which I guess means their app is declined until they do?

-Zyn, 2022, secretively extending a ban without an O5 post, and threatening a permaban for being friends with Harmony.

As the edit was made while not a member, I have reverted and locked the page until the Disciplinary Team can come to a consensus about what should be done in this case.

As this marks the continuation of the previous pattern of behavior, without any display of improvement, Myself, Zyn, and aismallard opted to escalate to the next level of disciplinary action: A short ban (1 week).

A copy of the ban notification is included below:

Per standard disciplinary escalation protocol, a long ban will be issued if the behavior continues.

Per standard disciplinary escalation protocol, I am in favor of revocation.

This seems like it falls under the same pattern of behavior that led to them receiving a warning. Should we revoke?

As today marks the fourth incident of this nature brought to staff attention in the last two months, it was determined a formal warning was indicated with Zyn and TheMightyMcB supporting.

The following warning was sent to the user:

Per standard disciplinary escalation, a site revocation would be our next step if this pattern of behavior continues.
