Salutations,

I'm SoullesssSingularity, a moderator for the SCP Foundation. Your article SCP-2125 has been summarily deleted for being someone else's work. This isn't allowed by the site, unless it's a collaborative work. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Below you will find a copy of the deleted article.

Kindest Regards,
SoullessSingularity

**Item #:** SCP 2125       

**Object Class:** Euclid

**Special Containment Procedures** SCP 2125 Must Be Held In A Room Without Any Conductive Surfaces Or Objects, And Upon No Circumstances Should Someone Turn its Handle.

**Description:** SCP 2125 is an average looking music box The Difference with This Music Box though, Is that on the inside of the box, it has Bloodshot Human Eyes that appear to be jammed inside it, Underneath those eyes is a Black Mustache.

When Any Sentient being Decides to turn SCP 2125's Crank, the song "Living on a prayer" by Jon Bon Jovi Starts To play, And not in a plinky plonky music box kind of way, it actually plays the song in Fairly Good CD Quality.

However, if someone decides to turn the handle for long enough, just before the key change before the 3rd chorus Because of how awful that key change is, SCP 2125 Will Let out an incredibly high pitched screech, killing the box turner of the box, but not harming anyone else, however, if the crank is turned by an inanimate object, SCP 2125 will start to shake, it will then emit lightning-like lasers that kills everyone in a 3 meter radius.

Added link. ~Zyn

Also noting that they responded to a closed staff post (the summary deletion vote) with:

NOOOO :'( also, its not plagiarism, i asked Caddy, he allowed me to post this…. >.>

Edit: Also of note is that they posted an announcement of the new article in the "Fan Work" subforum: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1166049/scp-2125-added:d#post-2266617

Got a PM back:

I Shall Say Again, I Asked The Person Who Came Up With This, (Who never posted it on this site) If I Could post it, he was thrilled with the idea, and gave me permission to post it, i am NOT claiming it is my own, if i added a disclaimer, it would destroy all immersion. :(

What is the recommended response?

Ask for proof. If none is forthcoming, I'd advise an official warning for plagiarism.

It's plagiarism and he admits it's plagiarism. He's not the original author, never mind that the original author supposedly gave permission. If Caddy wants to see it on the site, it's easy to make an account and join.

This is completely disregarding the fact that not only is/was it a bad SCP, but Caddy deliberately made it a parody of bad SCPs in that video. It has no chance to survive¹, even if it wasn't plagiarism.

Official warning.

If this is plagiarism, which means that there is no proof of their statement provided, then I am advising a permaban.

I've gotten a PM back. They have no evidence of their claims. They also claim a different user was the creator of the youtube video.

damn, i deleted the email, also the person in the video isn't the real owner THIS: https://www.youtube.com/user/Caddicarus Is.

Oh well, i guess it'll have to stay down

Suggestions?

Of note is that they claimed it was their own work in the announcements thread:
http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1166049/scp-2125-added:d#post-2266617

So i got around to making an scp, i'm a first time user, and this is my first go :D please tell me what you think :) http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2125

I'll change my response upthread (which seems a little light, in retrospect) and suggest a ban.

Permaban.

Edit: Also, flagged on the forums.
