User Vigie posted a poorly written coldpost today, which was in the SCP-3000 slot. Staff voted it down/deleted since it was in the wrong slot. The text of it is here, though there was a pinball machine image as well.

Experiment 3000-1

D-279 enters the room with a video camera

Dr.████ "Please approach SCP-3000"

D-279 "What that broken down 60's Soda machine?"

Dr.████ "Yes approach it now please"

D-279 stands 5 feet from SCP-3000

D-279 "now what?"

Dr.████ "Wait for further instruction"

D-279 "Sorry Doc I feel like I should play some pinball"

Dr.████ "Proceed"

D-279 stands directly in front of SCP-3000 & powers it on

D-279 "This doesn't look so hard"

Dr.████ "begin playing"

D-279 acquires a score of 100

D-279 "awh yeah this is great"

D-279 acquires a score of 220

Dr.████ "Perhaps you might want to take a break"

D-279. "No way this is awesome!"

Dr.████ "very well"

D-279 acquires a score of 430

D-279 "Yo doc you mind turning the heat up It's freezing in here"

Dr.████ "The temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit how are you cold?"

Dr.████ changes the temperature to 90 degrees Farenheit
D-279 "I said turn up the heat Doc!"

Dr.████ changes the temperature to 115 degrees Farenheit
D-279 "That's more like it"

D-279 continues playing for 6 hours
D-279 acquires a high score of ████

D-279 "Doc I don't feel so good"

Dr.████ "very well the experiment ends here"

D-279 was rushed to the medical center & found his body losing blood 1 pint per 30 seconds
2 minutes later D-279 said his final words "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" & died of Cardiac arrest

--[END LOG]-——

Then he/she posted another coldpost, this time in the SCP-2065 slot that consisted of a single letter D, and nothing else.

Advocating revocation immediately.

EDIT: At the time of this post, Vigie is apparently still editing SCP-2065, so they have something to finish.

The post was an actual article, albeit one with an off-site image and lacking a rating module. I'm willing to chalk up it up to "overeager newbie" rather than "troll."

That said, if they continue to coldpost without proper formatting, I second revocation.

Re: Vigie

Pixeltasim 25 Sep 2014 15:24

For the record they also self-upvoted their SCP-3000 post.

Re: Vigie

(account deleted) 25 Sep 2014 16:55

User has reposted what appears to be the same article as SCP-2296, complete with the same formatting mistakes and a self-upvote for good measure.

Moving for revocation.

Re: Vigie

Zyn 25 Sep 2014 17:45

From TroyL:

10:34 TroyL Actually, I wouldn't revoke this guy, myself.
10:34 TroyL Just looks really overeager.

Re: Vigie

Eskobar 25 Sep 2014 18:19

I can get behind a Final Warning — Figure This Shit Out Now or No Quarter Shall Be Shown at Next Engagement message being sent before we move to revocation.

Re: Vigie

weizhong 25 Sep 2014 20:06

Posted another article as SCP-2850, which is also heading into the negatives very quickly.

Re: Vigie

ProcyonLotor 25 Sep 2014 20:18

Did a warning ever get sent?

Re: Vigie

Vivax 25 Sep 2014 20:29

I've sent Vigie a notice via Wikidot PM telling them that they really need to slow down and think. Text is reproduced here:

Hello Vigie,

I am Vivax, a moderator on the SCP Foundation Wiki. Recently you posted SCP-2850, SCP-2296, and SCP-2065, which have all dropped into the negatives. Two of which are up for early deletion having passed the early deletion threshold. I don't believe you're doing anything malicious but you're definitely not getting feedback or help with these articles. Please read the following guides How to Write and SCP, The Guide to Newbies, The Big Cliche List and generate a Sandbox. All of these things will help you draft better articles and give you a place to host in-progress drafts for feedback. Above all, slow down with your writing. Three articles in a day is pushing it for a veteran author and you're new and inexperienced. We don't want your articles to fail; we'd rather they succeed but this thing you're doing isn't helping.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me or a member of the staff.

Vivax

NOTE: The SCP names and the guide names and the sandbox are all links in the PM.

Noting that Vigie, once again posted another article, this time in the 2570 slot. This one was poorly formatted.

Re: Vigie

Vivax 25 Sep 2014 21:21

Yeah. I'm writing a staff post in the comments.

Edit: So Vigie is being pretty defensive and apparently is doing all this stuff on their phone. They haven't even read the PM I sent.

Revocation is probably the best option in this case.

Zyn 25 Sep 2014 21:30

Noting that as of now, they've got four coldposts on the site, almost all of which have received feedback to the tone of "Get on the sandbox, get feedback, these ideas are poorly-developed and uninteresting".

To put this in a handy list, this person has:
- coldposted repeatedly despite being directed the the sandbox every time
- self-upvoted until called out
- relied on other users to fix common errors (rating module, image fixing, title formatting)
- ignored a staff PM (Vivax's)
- generally demonstrated unfamiliarity with basic interaction (they've posted comments "Even though there were some errrors made it's not like it was unreadable", "I wrote that one on my phone" and "But why do all my ideas get negative reviews?")

Revoke. They're clearly not understanding how to function well on the site.

Re: Vigie

Photosynthetic 25 Sep 2014 21:38

After having the following conversation on Vigie's latest coldpost, I've revoked their membership. Zyn, Vivax, and ProcyonLotor concurred via chat.

+ Show what happened on the coldpost

Vivax:

[Staff Post: Vigie Please Read This]

Vigie,

I sent you a PM about this behavior earlier. I sent you links to the relevant guides and where you could go to post your drafts. I told you that the staff was here to help you and that people were available for feedback. If you don't stop coldposting the staff may take disciplinary action.

Vigie:

But why do all my ideas get negative reviews?

Vivax:

The mainlist is not the place for review. The mainlist is the place for finished, reviewed drafts. Your articles are getting poorly received because they're not well thought out, rushed and poorly formatted/edited.

You need to slow down and get review before you post your articles.

Zyn:

Because they're uninteresting and there are multiple errors.

You need to get feedback before you post, since you're missing a lot of things that can and should be fixed before you even post them to the site.

Me:

Because you're not seeking reviews, you're just throwing ideas at the mainlist. You need to seek feedback before you post an article. You have been told this several times now, explicitly, and that's after it was clearly stated in the guides that you were supposed to have read before applying to join the site.

Since you have been warned about this behavior and chosen to ignore it, and since it is becoming obvious that you have not read and internalized the required reading, I'm revoking your SCP Wiki membership. You may reapply at any time, but you'll need to change your behavior once you do.

I'll send Vigie the usual revocation form letter as well.

Re: Vigie

TroyL 25 Sep 2014 23:22

I concur at this point. He seems to have gone from overeager right into dsklfjklasdWORDSfjklsjdfklsd.
