I recently got a PM from user tanman650, which is as follows:
I was just watching one of my favorite channels today and I saw something strange. He does a lot with SCP foundation from creepypastas to which SCP's would be the most world threating. Then I saw #1 SCP-001 1:22:00 somewhere around there the file starts. I just wanna know if that info is correct. Also that if that file is the real deal. I'm not joking… He has 441,471 subcribers and I'm sure a lot are asking the same thing I am is that the real file ?? Just wondering here's the link. Have a very nice day.

If you don't trust links here's the title and the youtuber Top 24 Scariest SCPS II
Tats TopVideos
I replied back saying that SCP files are not real, and staff has no intention of picking a "true 001" since people can still add their own 001 proposals. It's of note that this user is not a member of any wikis, so keep an eye on, I guess? I didn't watch the video they linked to (it's about an hour and a half).
The video author was mentioned on reddit recently, apparently they have quite a fanbase but have also run into legal issues before, getting C&Ded for using copyrighted images/audio in their work. Probably a low-key Markiplier effect.
Just noting that this user has been flooding my inbox as of late, including 7 messages sent in the last day.
The PMs appear to be rather random, including one three-message chain in which they thought they were a site member because they could read the pages, but then realized they'd forgotten they had to do an application.
Also stuff like this:
I was just looking over the member there was a member called The Adrmistator I'm honestly not for sure if it's a troll trying to be funny or if it's the real person and founder of the site SCP Foundation. I honestly didn't know. And I still don't know.
Given that I've reviewed at least two (poorly-written, at best) things for them, telling them repeatedly to create a sandbox (which they ignored) and their writing hasn't improved noticeably, I told them to stop messaging me with drafts until they're a site member. Anyone else getting PMs from this person should do the same, I think.
More inbox flooding:
12 Dec 15:26 - SCP Question
Hey Zyn ! Is there any way someone could find out what moderator had deleted their SCP ?
13 Dec 06:33 - Re: SCP Question
Thanks Zyn !
13 Dec 7:02 - My SCP
SCP-2976 My SCP I am revising in it in the sandbox II and using all those who replied. SCP-The Doll is being put into work, I will have it done and do it again…
- Mr.Four Eyes
13 Dec 9:55 - SCP-2976
My SCP-2976 I need a moderators help, no not to re-write the entire thing but, in the same way yes. You see one of your fellow moderators did their job and reverted a dirstic change that was made without my consent. I need you to revert the action he did. I'm ok with the changes that they had both made. I had gotten to talk to both editors and I am ok with the changes. I don't know if this will take the tag off of in process of deletion, all I need is for their changes to be back as they where good.
-Mr.Four Eyes
13 Dec 10:04 - Nevermind !
He fixed it.
13 Dec 11:12 - Re: SCP-2976
Zyn, one more question is that how does the deletion process work ?
Anyway, uh… did anyone else get stuff like this? I think Woggle is the one who did the revert mentioned (thank you for handling it, Woggle). I'm just glad I checked my PMs after my violin teaching. I thought something burned down.
Anyway, I responded to… two of the PMs, I think, basically giving very short explanations and linking them to relevant guides for further reading.
I also got messages.
13 Dec 2015, 09:21
Salutations my moderator ! If you could, please revert the changes that you did. I talked with the two that had edited the page, I liked what they where doing. (Leave the deletion though, that was put by Zyn) Yes, I do understand that they where large changes and I didn't give them permission to do so, I'm ok with it now.
-Mr.Four Eyes
This is on SCP-2976 thanks for doing your job !
13 Dec 2015, 12:46
Question, how many votes do you need for it to be deleted ?
13 Dec 2015, 15:55
Take another look. I changed a lot over hours of work and talking with people. Take a look at it, I dropped the entire "Imma kill you," and all that and made it something the site hasn't really seen before. Also, it's a keter as a keter doesn't have to be a nuke it could simply be someone else and then end the world like that. So, read it over and revise your decision of deletion. If you still want to do it, if not then yay ! I'm ok with either.
I reverted the reversion per his request after the first one around noonish. I responded to the third one just now, explaining that we don't really vote on the article.
More stuff today, indicating that they don't seem to have learned much from the last PMs sent:
Zyn, I had been thinking about what to wright after my last failure. I was hoping you could tell me if this idea at all sounds crazy, or stupid in that matter. I'm thinking about calling it, "The Other Side". It will be a small computer monitor with a static screen. Anyone who sits down and looks into it they have their conses to another time seeing all the great memories with, past family, pets, siblings, as you can see I had left the entire "It's going to murder you" subject and went something a bit more scuttle. I'm hoping that this idea wasn't terrible as recently I've been seeing more and more "IT'S GOING TO KILL YOU !!" kind of SCP's.
Enjoy your day Zyn
- tanman650
And then about 35ish minutes later, even though I'd yet to say if the idea was good or not:
Hey Zyn, I know that this is your job and I wondering if you could take a quick gander at my rough draft and make sure I'm on the right path, thanks a bunch.
- tanman650
I wrote a quick review of the (frankly nowhere near site-ready) draft. If anyone else is getting PMs from this guy, please refer them to the forums or chat. I don't want them bugging individual people when they need as much writing help as they do currently.
…new PM from the guy, titled "Just becuase you're most likely bored.."
Hey Zyn, a few questions.
1. What inclined you to become a moderator ?
2. Do you like butterflys ??
3. I understand you found the wiki via reddit but, who had gotten you officially on the right track in the foundation.
By the way had taken high school writing classes all though,
when ever I am inclined to write I am ussaly running on a kick starter or a monster.
To conclude, I love your work. I hope you keep working as a moderator along with, that more can come back and resume their previous moderator postions.
-Mr.Four Eyes Oo.oO
P.S - I know I am a nescunce at times for having stupid questions when you may be very bussy. I am sorry. Also, I suggest doing another talk show sit down. The first revealed a lot to me about being a moderator. Good cop, bad cop, heh you can both play the roles of eachother.
Dear lord I need to do another kaktuskast where I'm less anxious than I was those years ago.
…and then they created a new "for newbies" thread in per-page discussion, which I had to clean up: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1761550/scp-001
SCP-001 Is a collective SCP. Several have taken a shot at writing a version of SCP-001. All though, there is no "offical" SCP-001. It always has been interesting with what some writers have come up with. From people calling it the first Keter SCP, to some being what brought the foundation together. If you'd like I suggest taking a shot at SCP-001, there are essintly no limits of imagination with it.
Hell it could be a unicorn that kills people by smashing down on my their lungs and heart until internal bleeding kills them, then having the unicorn come back to eat out their small and large intenine. Whoops, to gorey ?? Sorry
. I love gorey stories along with creating them.
Any ways.. As I said, SCP-001 does not have a "offical" place holder. For more info I suggest contacting one of the noob helper moderators. Don't pester them, ask them once and wait for am awnswer..
-Mr.Four Eyes Oo.oO
…two more PMs.
As I said, when I am hyper from drinks such as, kick stater, monster etc. I write idiotic. I already knew that a majority of SCPs are written at a 12th grade level or higher.
Please try to understand from my perspective, I don't get inspection until my mind is traveling many times faster than my fingers. (Note - I Already know that the brain is already faster than ones fingers)
Which at the current moment I am very hyper. I am trying to write without substies for energy but, I forget things when the substitute energy wears off.
One more thiby before I conclude, at least consider another talk show sit down.
-Mr.Four Eyes Oo.oO
What is a annoymaly SCP and where can I find them on the foundations site ? (Excuse my grammar, auto correct is annoying today..)
The creep continues, and I find out that the guy is indeed underage.
Take a wild guess Zyn, then I will give you the answer. I hope you don't mind me asking but, what kind of butterfly is in your profile picture ?
- Mr.Four Eyes
Post Script - Zyn, The reason I always sign off with "Mr.Four Eyes Oo.oO" is because, when I was younger I had huge thick rimmed glasses as I was blind as a cactus. Still, I wear thick glasses as I'm blind without them on. I was always called "Mr.Four Eyes" because of this factor. I kinda found it funny, so I always sign off with it.
You can skip all this if you feel like it
If I were to take a crack at your age, I would say you'd have to be in your 20's. Considering how you spoke to the Kulu cast. People all talk from certain years of age growth. This may sound odd at first but, think about it. Let us say we have a person named John, John was born in 1989, John would miss the shows like, Rugrats, Drake & Josh, etc.. All of which were canceled around the 21st century. If you'd watch John's social media he'd most likely share things saying "SHARE THIS IF YOU MISS THE OLD SHOWS" Showing shows stated before, Drake & Josh, Rugrats, K.N.D., etc. All of which John would want back as he fond memories as a kid watching them.
The way a person speaks is another way to pin them down to an age. Let us say we have Old Timer Jim talking, he'll say "Whelp" frequently as he was born around the time of the great depression and for some odd reason, they have an odd tendency to say "Whelp" as if it's their superhero phrase. That's how you track their voice by year.
Now, their tattoos. This one may sound very odd Zyn and I know. Look at the years, each year had its own special tattoo I guess you could say. If they had any kind of tattoo that is just stars, they were alive before the 2000's and were above the age of 18 in 2000. Anyone in 2000 got a tattoo of stars, there're a few people who didn't but, there's a lot who did. Their state, the state was really popular in around 2010. People would tattoo their home state with a star on their home town.
Voice sound - This may sound odd but, again I am an odd person Zyn. They studder, this may be sounds of age. Over their 40's if it counties as if it's a condition. Their voice high-low any cracks ? A high voice is pointing towards a female, a lower voice is pointing towards a male. If it cracks it can put them in the 13-21 age area as people are still developing their voice box through that stage and have a tendency to crack voice.
Come back here.
Zyn, am I correct on guessing you're in your 20's ?
Thanks for at least surviving this far of a prolonged message.
One last thing, I did not know that the moderators did not have this as an income. I really appreciate you reading my messages for being a volunteer.
I replied that their draft writing quality implied that they were 12. Also that the butterfly is a Mourning Cloak.
Zyn, your awnswer is.. Incorrect. I write as I was 12 most the time becuase, my hands and mind are moving very fast or on the contrary very slow. Hence it's my very rough drafts.
I'm 14 and skipped two grades. I currently am recving help from an author of script writing known for writing the script for "Glee" I belive the show was called. She saw my passion in writing and wanted to help. She is also the one who introduced me into the foundation.
Still, you must be 20s. Possibly early 30. I said possibly before you kill me. The next rough draft you see Zyn will have a lot less gramical errors.
- Mr. Four Eyes
Post Script - What made you assume 12 so much ? Also, was I correct you being in your 20s ??
Quik banned, I sent a PM telling the guy he's banned for a year, and that I'm not reviewing any further drafts from him until he's actually of age to join the site.
PM reply:
Not even a year. Tomorow is my birthday. Oh and Zyn. I may be done writing for a while. Thanks for at least not blocking me. The few before this where not worth your time and I know that. Bye for now Zyn.
Year ban. Let's hope they mature in that time.
Got a PM.
Is my ban lifted? I've lost track.
Sent back:
As per standard procedure, your ban will be lifted on 20 Jul 2017. You have been given a year's worth of time to mature and gain a better understanding of the site and its policies before rejoining as an individual within the age limit.
The impatience is not reassuring.
Got two more PMs:
Alright, thanks for telling me the day again Zyn. I appreciate the ban as, in all honesty, I've learned a lot more about the site.
Question - Where can I find the list of saying if you have a ban what you cannot do. I looked all over and I can't seem to find it, if there even is one.
I know, I'm most likely not allowed to do this being banned from the site. Can you take a gander at this draft that has been laying around? I think I had fixed all of the errors present.
http://scpsandbox2.wikidot.com/scp-2976
If anyone else gets PMs from this guy, please notify me.
And another:
Sorry, I deleted all my messages the day I had received the ban. Thank you for answering my questions Zyn. Who do I have to speak with to get the site modified? For example, adding a page onto what I person with a ban cannot do. I think it'd be a useful page.
Referred them to the admins. If they botch this, we know they're not ready to rejoin the site. If they make a convincing argument for why such a page is needed, all the better in their favor.
I personally don't think we need to have a list of "things a banned individual cannot do" since it's a level of hand-holding that of-age individuals really shouldn't need (and possibly might incite trolls to try and break all the guidelines listed there anyway) but I'm open to ideas. Thoughts?
I think we expressly don't need a list.
I mean, no one is going to stop you from reading SCPs or talking about them offsite. When you're banned, you can't do the things you're being stopped from doing. It's really that simple. But what are you stopped from doing, I hear you ask, Banny McBannerson from Bannedcamp? You'll know what you're stopped from doing when you can't just do it. No, I'm not going to be more specific. But you can't figure out what you need to get around in order to do what you want?
That's right, you can't.
Yeeeeeaaaaah, a "things you can't do while banned" list sounds like a way to toe the line, plus a checklist for trolls.
It's almost tempting to start a list of things you can do when you're banned. How to enjoy your enforced vacation from the wiki: Go outside, make friends, get some exercise, work on drafts, etc.
PM back:
Mk, thanks Zyn.
And two minutes later:
Would accounts such as Dr.Cleff be actual people or, just ti-hi haha account jokes?
…yeah. I told them to check Meet the Staff. At replies only take 5 seconds to write up.
It continues:
How do you hold a perfect karma 24/7? Do you leave the site open while you leave and go elsewhere to work or, what?
Thanks Zyn, you must do a lot to keep a perfect karma..
Yes, friends, activity, editing, creating, etc. etc. All of the usual that a moderator is expected to do. I read that it is only updated every few days. Meaning, if you were to go offline for something for a few hours or so, it wouldn't count against your karma.
Zyn, who is the developer of the SCP site? I'd like to contact them and ask them a few scripting questions upon creating a new site.
Wait, there's not a single devolper for the foundation. Then who did all of the work on the site? It's obvious it hadn't been done in just a few days. It had taken weeks to do.
…I'm not entirely hopeful about their rejoining the site.
