New user Dark_Sprinkles (note name change) has recently demonstrated a lack of understanding of the site, evidenced by pretty much every comment they've got on the site, including telling Bright he'd make a good staff member in a necropost:
http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1023953/so-you-want-to-be-staff#post-2322995
M'kay.I think you would be good staff member.because of your karma rank.M'kay
All these are on their coldpost, which also included two attempts to use copyrighted pictures (unlocalized, unformatted).
I still can't tell if you are being rude or helpful but thank you anyway.
This is very helpful.This is my first SCP and I did my best for a newbie.This is just the base of it.Please understand that I will be adding to it very often.Feel free to edit it and make it better.
How do i change my profile pic?
So you are all here to help me with writing SCP's?
Why thank all of you for showing me errors and helping me.and how do i go to the sandbox area.i thought this is the sand box area.
(and then a bunch of thank yous)
And continued.
Aaaand so Coony posted the following on their coldpost:
Any true fan would be able to tell the Winchester Plasma Rifle of 1 and 2 apart from the Urban Plasma Rifle of the latter games :|
But in seriousness, this requires like a lot of "you have to learn this stuff in school" English correction.
In addition, 43mm ammunition is apparently not something that you see a whole lot of at all, and if that "over 9000 rounds" thing was supposed to be clever, well, uh…
…it very much isn't.
They responded with two posts:
One titled: I am choosing not to respond to negative and meaning less insults
Thank you
The other: I really do think I am a true fan.because I know that people that know more about the fallout franchise than others,
DON'T BRAG ABOUT IT AND DON'T INSULT OTHERS FOR NOT KNOWING AS MUCH AS YOU
Anyway, they responded to my closed staff post with something titled "I don't not understand" and consisting of "What exactly is staff?", indicating they haven't processed the required reading.
Calling for revoke. This person needs to calm down and reread the rules.
Now to lord my knowledge of Fallout over kings and emperors. No one shall stop me now!
But seriously, jesus christ, that was pretty obviously a joke.
So, uh, got this PM today:
A OFFICIAL COMPLAINT
I am quiet agitated of how bad the site moderators treat there member.I read and saw the forum on 0 5 command. It really disgusts me.You could have told these things directly to me.But instead you like to create a forum for people to mock at me.It is embarrasing and disgusting.I am not going to report you,or do anything like that.I would like to wish you a good day and life.But I see what you did was wrong and I would just like to Tell you.
THIS IS A OPINION.NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR SASS
Some Helpful words
FROM YOUR FRIEND:DARK_SPRINKLES
I got the same PM, complete with bolding, underline, all-caps for emphasis.
Send the following reply:
You could have told these things directly to me.
The majority of the issues that were addressed are listed in the Site Rules and the Guide for Newbies, the latter of which is required reading to join the site and expected common knowledge for all site members.
But instead you like to create a forum for people to mock at me.
O5 command exists as a tool for staff members to track behavioral incidents and for administrators to respond as necessary. The intention of the staff site, as evidenced by the rest of the threads noting poor feedback, trolling, harassment, and other site rules being broken, is not to mock.
But I see what you did was wrong and I would just like to Tell you.
Your complaint has been noted. I will again suggest that the next time you are agitated, please take some time to calm down before sending something like this, as your accusations here are unfounded in terms of staff intention and action. If you look through the archives, you will note that you are not the only user staff has kept a record of, and if you kindly reread the required reading, there shouldn't be any further problems.
Will keep everyone updated on further PMs. I can understand the guy being frustrated with his experience. Thing is, we have the required reading for a reason, and if people don't pay attention to that and expect to be told everything without doing the reading themselves, that kind of defeats the purpose of it being "required".
This is now an absolutely textbook case of why we sometimes revoke people's memberships. He has not understood the required reading at all, and I really doubt he's going to manage to be a nondisruptive community member until he does.
Never mind, we already did. Good grief. Has he rejoined yet?
He re-applied (emphasis mine):
I am 15,I have been removed from this site before for unjust reasons of site moderators being abusive with there power.I love this site i and i would love to join, my secret passcode is : Epic Epoch
I rejected it with the following explanation:
You were removed because you clearly did not understand the site rules, and you clearly still do not understand. Reread the guides, and PM Photosynthetic with any questions you may have.
T minus 10 to terrible spin off site…
T minus 9 to terrible…
