Non-Disc Record - PenOrSaber1

Zyn 20 Sep 2022 06:35

Noting that PenOrSaber1 (account age 16 days, site membership 15 days. Also, their user profile reads, "I will not be using my SCP account until of July 8, 2023, due to restrictions."?) has recently been spamming critique threads with links to the forum resources, and nothing else:

Go to the butterfly squad, link here:https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/butterfly-squad-roster
Find one you think would best edit your idea, and click on their profile. There is a option that says send private message in red font. Click it and send them the link to this page. This is my understanding of it, but it may be incorrect.

This link also shows it in detail: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-13282692/how-to-get-more-reviews

I've sent them a PM asking them to refrain from this behavior.

ETA: also noting feedback that was addressed by staff https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15199106/seeking-greenlights-the-gun#post-5588058

Unless I'm wrong, an SCP article explains how to contain an anomaly, not explain its existence, or its backstory. I believe this would be better written as a tale. The gun can still be an SCP, but I think you should make a main page for it, such as an SCP article telling how to contain, listing incidents that were cuased by the gun, and make a separate tale on its backstory. Therefore you aren't mixing the two separate types of pages, and it will make more sense to the reader. […]

If they don't stop after Zyn's PM, I would advocate a membership revocation.

Received replies:

Sorry. I just noticed the message right now. I will delete the messages that are irrelavant to the author's stories.

I discovered I could not delete the messages, so I edited them to say {deleted}. I am sorry for cuasing a problem.

I responded thanking them for editing the posts.

Noting that the behavior is continuing, with them giving a user incorrect information regarding the deletions process and encouraging the user to contact Zyn directly to delete articles. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15248404/help#post-5605607

There might be some missing context here—the user in question did ask me for assistance deleting their old sandbox pages.

At any rate though, the information they gave about the mainsite deletions process is still incorrect.

User very frequently requests that staff lock ideas threads for various reasons relating to either abandoning an idea or wanting to change an idea. I have informed them that staff will no longer lock their threads upon request due to how often they have asked. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15396524/locking-a-page#post-5718503

Lock request- http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15280938/how-do-i-get-rid-of-an-old-idea-forums-post

Thread locked per request- https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15198330/seeking-greenlight-the-all-seeing-author

I am also concerned by the number of ideas thread the user produces without moving any of them to a proper draft or mainsite post. Scrolling through the user's history I've seen at least 6 ideas posts and no drafts or mainsite posts. I'm starting to believe this user is effectively wasting reviewers' time.

User contacted my privately asking for a crit request. Though my response was from a personal capacity, it relates to ongoing issues with this user and as such has been logged below.

+Initial message from user

Hi, Ori. Was wondering if you would take a look at my scp and provide feedback. Here is the link: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15361034/seeking-greenlight-what-you-think-you-see#post-5698396
Thank you so much, and have a happy (early) Thanksgiving!

+My initial response

Hi there, I'm sorry but I politely ask that you not contact me for critique. I am extremely concerned by the amount of ideas threads that you have created over the past few weeks without ever moving into proper drafting or posting to the mainsite. As a reviewer, this tells me you aren't willing to able to follow through on any of your concepts, and leads me to believe that my feedback will go unheeded. Until you have a positively-rated work on the mainsite, please do not reach out to me for critique.

+User's response

I have only posted three idea forum posts, excluding my first idea (which didn't work out well), two of those being co-author posts for someone else. The one I contacted you is my second original idea. I will gladly accept any critique and properly adjust according to it. Please reconsider your opinion. If not, is there someone you can point me to that can help me find a reviewer? I have been having trouble getting one, and that would be a great help. Thank you!

+My response

I have been through your post history and have seen at least 6 ideas threads. Even if it wasn't 6, 4 (the number you gave Harmacy) is still an excessive number of threads to post without any follow-through. As stated in my previous message I am not willing to critique your work until you have a successful page on site (positively rated after 24 hours). Even after that point I will still reserve the right to say no if I don't feel you will follow-through on the concept. Likewise I am not comfortable sending other reviewers your way.

As I said in my prior message, it is extremely difficult to trust that you'll actually adjust your concepts in response to feedback, and it is difficult to trust the the idea won't simply be abandoned. You have requested 3 page locks from the critique team as seen in your non-disc record. This tells me as a reviewer that I will be wasting my time giving you feedback, because I see someone who repeatedly abandons ideas that aren't immediately successful.

I am a volunteer, as are all reviewers on the site. If I do not feel like my time is being respected or my advice is being heeded, I will not continue to spend my time with the person I was working with. Simply put that is where I am with you- I feel as if my time is being wasted and my words are going unheeded. Until I can see tangible proof from you to the contrary, I am uninterested in critiquing your concepts and will not be sending other reviewers to you.

Please do not contact me about this further.

As outlined in my final response, I have asked the user to not contact me further and informed them that I was unwilling to seek out reviewers on their behalf. The user also seems to be confused on the number of posts they are creating, as they have given myself and other members of the crit team different numbers with none being accurate to their posting total.
