Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

Jacob Conwell 28 Nov 2021 04:25

DrKaldahl has engaged in several episodes of excessive vehemence towards their fellow SCP Wiki users over the last two months, as has been reported in their Non-Disc thread:

http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-14319405/non-disc-record-drkaldahl

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:

Attention Drkaldhal,

It has come to the attention of SCP wiki staff that you have been engaging in excessive vehemence towards your fellow SCP wiki users in our forums over the course of the last two months, as is denoted in the thread here: http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-14319405/non-disc-record-drkaldahl

As we've received complaints about your unconstructive comments and lack of basic civility towards other authors and community members, you are being issued a formal warning. Continued vehemence in the forums will result in additional disciplinary action including, but not limited to site membership revocation and/or bans from the wiki.

Feel free to reach out to me or other members of disciplinary staff if you have additional questions.

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

Today, DrKaldahl made the following comment: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14408635/scp-6211#post-5164685

Unoriginal and insipid scip.

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

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

Jacob Conwell 26 Dec 2021 22:41

They have continued the same pattern of behavior despite the warning they were given.

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

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

Zyn 27 Dec 2021 08:05

Revoke enacted. PM sent.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

Zyn 29 Dec 2021 07:11

Re-applied, accepted.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

DrKaldahl has been noted to have continued the vehemence and toxic behaviors that had earned them their previous official disciplinary warning, this time in chat spaces:

http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-14460712/kaldahl

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:

Attention DrKaldhal,

With the continuation of your pattern of excessive vehemence, as demonstrated by your recent ban from SCP Chat spaces, you have been issued a one week ban from the SCP Wiki.

Feel free to reach out to me or other members of disciplinary staff if you have additional questions.

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

In response to a PM sent for a Disciplinary decision regarding their post-ban membership application (which at time of writing has not yet been accepted), they edited the page The Skips we Missed, an unrelated tale, with content copying the PM and adding additional commentary:

-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.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

aismallard 31 Jan 2022 16:04

As a point of clarification, the Disciplinary Team made the decision around this requirement to their site application. It was not logged on O5 due to the aforementioned concern about community safety, specifically, the overlap with Anti-Harassment Team cases.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

With the above events in consideration, I think it is time where we consider where this case goes from here. I personally would argue that behavior shown in response to the concerns about involvement in communities with strong ties to AHT cases demonstrates the same line of vehemence that got them banned to begin with. Obviously, providing an example of the behavior you are banned for, while still banned is not a great look. Additionally, there is the demonstration of these same behaviors in parallel community spaces like IRC and some of the discords. I would argue this continuation of behavior would trigger the next escalation up the disc ladder.

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?

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

aismallard 01 Feb 2022 23:12

The user has been involved in several incidents showing poor behavior, causing trouble between other site members, such as being banned from SCPD, and generally being a disruptive force throughout our community and its neighboring spaces.

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.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

Jacob Conwell 01 Feb 2022 23:17

I feel like a year for all the damage done to this point is warranted, and would support as such.

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

Agreed, the user clearly has zero intention on self reflecting or listening to our concerns. Voting in favor of a permanent ban.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

DrBleep 02 Feb 2022 01:30

Due to new information regarding DrKaldahl's association with multiple individuals who have active AHT bans/AHT cases, and their contribution to material that enables such such behavior, I'm putting forward to disc that escalation should be scaled to a permaban here. Consider this my official stance and vote.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

Zyn 02 Feb 2022 05:53

Noting that I have received a PM:

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.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl

Vivarium 02 Feb 2022 09:01

The user has also begun making edits to their authorpage expressing similar sentiments. Due to the rule that states banned users are prohibited from making edits to pages on the wiki, all edits have been reverted and the relevant pages have been locked.

With all the above considered, I'm voting for a permanant ban.

With the most recent series of events in consideration, and with votes in favor of a permanent ban cast, DrKaldahl has been issued a permanent ban from the SCP Wiki.

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

Attention,

Following your continued behavior of vehemence, your rampant violation of the rules regarding banned users making page edits, and your disregard for staff concerns regarding communities involved in AHT cases, your ban has been extended to a permanent ban.

You may make a ban appeal in one year.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl/DrHarick

Jacob Conwell 03 May 2022 16:41

DrHarick was recently brought to staff attention due to community concern that they may be a sockpuppet of banned user DrKaldahl.

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.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl/DrHarick

ManyMeats 03 May 2022 16:48

Circumstantial evidence is often individually weak but when piled together creates something as tough to ignore and as highly as likely as this was.
This is a sock, perma ban.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl/DrHarick

Dexanote 03 May 2022 16:52

Agreed with Meats. This is just a perfect storm, and this is a sock puppet. Ban.

Re: Disciplinary - DrKaldahl/DrHarick

Jacob Conwell 03 May 2022 17:03

With the above support, the ban has been enacted. The following PM has been sent to DrHarick.

Attention,

SCP Wiki staff has been presented with the case that this account is an alt of a banned user, per the evidence gathered here: http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-14352139/disciplinary-drkaldahl

As such, it has been issued a permanent ban from the SCP Wiki.

You may reach out to Disciplinary Staff at any time if you have questions, or wish to appeal.
