Noting Revenhelix does not match any existing user name has received an official warning regarding misuse of the “ Writing Help / Help: Questions Desk” Forum. This includes

• Creation of a thread titled “Writing Wrong” to vent frustrations with the critique process. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15520762/writing-wrong#post-5838555
• Responding to the following question in a discouraging manner, despite no experience with the topic. This required intervention from Ralliston to clear up misinformation. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15529901/site-120-deluge-of-history#post-5843141

Particularly concerning lines from Revenhelix on the latter thread included:

I mean, i'm gonna say that I don't think ralliston or any of the meta people kinda want anything new added, especially from a newbie. (uh, no offense)

Like i'm really really trying despite me being a hateful mood right now. I really do try. Anyway its better off letting ralli handle this.

Revenhelix does not match any existing user name, please refrain from answering questions regarding topics you do not have experience with, particularly when you are essentially speaking on behalf of other users.

I mean, i'm gonna say that I don't think ralliston or any of the meta people kinda want anything new added, especially from a newbie.

Statements like this are discouraging to new users, and hurtful to the work and reputations of authors.

Going forward please avoid posting in these categories when finding yourself in a negative mood.

Additionally, user was sent the following warning by DrRevan

Hello,
This is a notification from staff. Other site members have complained about your recent behavior, specifically posts like this:

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15529901/site-120-deluge-of-history

To be clear, this is an official warning, and failure to adhere to it means that you will face disciplinary action. Moving forward, please:
- Let other site members answer questions rather than speaking for them
- Focus on posting in help threads where you understand the material well
- Step away from the site if you are feeling heated or negative

Sent an apology, sorry.
Just not in a good mood this week, going through plans that are stressing, getting many artists consent on things, etc. Alot of things, I'm sorry and won't do it again.
Though the 3rd one is a maybe, unsure mainly since I put myself in reading other's tales.
But yes, goodday then DrRevan.

Due to repeated inquiries into attempting to bypass the wiki's guidelines on intellectual property usage, including guidelines on Creative Commons, I have, in my capacity as Licensing Captain, issued a cease and desist to RevenHelix does not match any existing user name against further attempts towards making inquiries regarding the use of or attempts to incorporate copyrighted characters onto the wiki.

On July 3rd, 2023 RevenHelix does not match any existing user name messaged aismallard via Discord with a threat of legal action. When questioned specifically, Reven did not disclaim the possibility of that legal action. As a result, and in line with both SCP Wiki precedent and the policy of other sites, they have received a permanent ban from the wiki.

This decision is so that we - as a wiki - can sever our relationship with Reven as a user of the wiki and protect ourselves from further threat of legal action.

Supporting, our precedent around legal threats is well-established.

Assent - This situation not only has escalated to threats of legal action, but has historical precedent to guide our response. Unfortunate, but ultimately required for the site's protection.
