Disciplinary - Opposer

Zyn 11 Jun 2024 07:30

New site member Opposer (account age 42 days, site membership 39 days) recently posted the following in someone's critique thread:
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16860009/seeking-greenlights-cold-war-nostalgia#post-6534920

[…]
3.) Not really about this but I’ve noticed that you have posted 3 threads on this idea critique forum. The max is 2 by the way.
[…]

Not only was this over-authoritative, this information was also incorrect: the limit for posting in the Ideas Critique forum is 2 threads per week/7-day period.

This is after they were addressed over two weeks ago for the following post: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16827672/seeking-greenlights-an-entity-kills-to-protect#post-6518157

Author, Don't reply to your own messages, please select the "Options" button then the "Edit" button and make your change there.

(Saying this so Zyn doesn't have to)

And they acknowledged the staffpost: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16827672/seeking-greenlights-an-entity-kills-to-protect#post-6518175

Ah, I apologize, I didn't know it was against the rules, just did it because Zyn does so much, I will not do this anymore. Thank you for telling me.

The user also has a history of spamming the critique forums:

Sounds like it has potential! I'm not someone that gives greenlights, just giving my opinion

http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16834127/seeking-green-light-printed#post-6516680

Sounds like a good idea, although,

My SCP idea is a 3D printer that can print 1:1 identical "working" copies of things

Might just be me but the "1:1" part sounds a bit like 914, just something I wanted to say. I would greenlight but I'm not an official reviewer, so. :(

http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16834775/seeking-greenlight-the-apple-tree#post-6516698

Idea: It's fine but there are somethings you can do.

1.) Please Remove the REDACTED. You should know what you are redacting and why. Also pretty sure greenlighters don't like it when the ideas they review are REDACTED. So please show it.

2.) Use the correct forum. It's one of the sticky threads at the top of the thread page.

3.) On the SCP Wiki we use the metric system. (e.g meters etc.) So no imperial system.

Not a official concept reviewer btw.

Congrats on the greenlights man

http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16836903/seeking-greenlight-realm-jumping-wolf#post-6517420

Um, first of all, you're not encouraged to make a draft before asking for greenlights, second of all, where the hell is the elevator pitch? Please put in more details for greenlighters to see, don't just put "A wolf that can enter different realms and is friendly"

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16820449/greenlight-seeking-scp-7564-all-knowing-stock-market#post-6517906

This sounds really cool! The fact that the foundation has this is gonna give them an edge over every GOI their against. Quick questions: Why a projecter? And how do you summon them? How did the foundation find it? And can you Buy and sell the stocks nvm that sounds silly. Anyway, I bet that all the other GOIs are probably gonna fight over this projector, mostly the Insurgency and GOC. Overall, this is a concept I have never seen before on this wiki, congrats on being original. Although, can I see the document? (To review better, and for a good story)

[Not A Green lighter]

I've posted an official warning, and PMed the user to notify them of it.

Revoke/ban on next infraction.

Noting that user Opposer recently posted the following on a blank article: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8095/comments/show

Another blank page. What is the point of this? You’re just putting junk on the wiki. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THIS!

Given the above, moving for a short ban. Weeklong? Monthlong? Disc team, please weigh in.

Re: Disciplinary - Opposer

Ban, but I'd recommend something relatively lenient. The outburst was inappropriate, but I can understand their annoyance with new users who make messes and don't clean up after themselves. Weeklong sounds reasonable to me in light of prior behavior.

Noting that today they also bumped their critique thread: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16834069/seeking-green-light-the-agent-the-operative-the-insurgent-an#post-6537783

Have contacted multiple reviewers, waiting for responses.

I’ve contacted like 7 and only 1 has actually crit

Given that they've repeatedly ignored staff posts, forum guidelines, and the site's Criticism Policy, I've enacted an emergency revoke, pending a ban. PM sent.

Re: Disciplinary - Opposer

Zyn 14 Jun 2024 07:10

Received the following reply:

Hello Zyn. This revocation was due to the back seat modding yes? I take full responsibility of the warning you gave me previously, but I’m pretty sure I haven't back seat modded again after the warning. If I have, could you link it to me?

I sent back:

This revocation was due to the back seat modding yes?

As noted in the previous message, the revoke was due to your repeated instances of not following forum guidelines and the site's Criticism Policy. Specifically:

• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16834069/seeking-green-light-the-agent-the-operative-the-insurgent-an#post-6537783 bumping critique thread
• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8095/comments/show posting the comment "Another blank page. What is the point of this? You’re just putting junk on the wiki. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THIS!"

Staff has determined that you will be issued a weeklong ban. The ban will elapse on 21 June 2024. If the ban is not promptly removed, you may contact a staff member to request the ban be lifted.

(Ori and Ari supporting weeklong ban.)

Received a PM:

Hello. I’ve noticed that I haven’t been unbanned yet from the wiki but it’s past the 21st. It still says “Private Access” when I try to click the “Join The Site”. I would like to be unbanned.

Thank you.

Ban has been lifted; I've notified the user.

Re: Disciplinary - Opposer

Zyn 26 Jun 2024 07:37

Re-applied, rejoined site.

Re: Disciplinary - Opposer

Zyn 26 Nov 2024 06:34

Noting that they've returned, with: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16990112/random-sandbox-drafts

I've noticed that there isn't much stuff based on the sandbox. Besides the sandbox cleaning team and it being used to hold drafts, there isn't much. So I thought I'd talk about this fun idea I came up with randomly. Kinda like how you can randomly get an SCP, or a Tale, GOI, and stuff like that, why not make it so you get a random sandbox draft, too?

You could find good, unpublished, drafts on the sandbox, and it could give the Sandbox Cleaning team some more purpose, filtering out the drafts that either have nothing in it, or drafts that break some rules at the same time. (Their original purpose.) We could also try to encourage writers to link their idea forum looking for greenlights in their sandbox.

There's probably some problems that I haven't pointed out, but I hope that you site members and staff like this idea, at the very least.

The original post mentioned using Google Docs; the user removed that portion upon being informed that GDocs was bad for drafting wiki syntax, and made it really easy to accidentally leak the author's identity.

They've also continued in the forums:

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16989364/this-object-is-many-things-looking-for-green-lights#post-6736550

You can use it. I dont mind GIVE ME CREDIT RAHHH.

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16989364/this-object-is-many-things-looking-for-green-lights#post-6737050

I like it. Has more detail, gives critters more content, and clears up former questions. Nice work. You should start working on a draft in the SCP Sandbox site, so critters can see what it would look like on the main site (At request of the critters). GIVE ME CREDIT GIVE ME IT RAHHHHHHHH

They have continued to backseat mod with incorrect information: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17004090/posted-by-accident-please-delete#post-6752168

NOT STAFF

Hi. Staff usually don't delete posts unless they have stuff that break site rules. You can just blank this if you want.

I've staffposted the following:

Adding clarification: staff only delete posts that contain severe rulebreaking content. Something like an accidental double-post or an uncollapsed image isn't grounds for comment removal.

Opposer, staff have addressed you multiple times for backseat modding with incorrect information, including issuing a ban from the site. Please refrain from directing site members in the future; if you feel that someone needs to be reminded of guidelines, ask a staff member for assistance instead.

They also have another such post here: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17004199/donotmind#post-6752167

Hi. Normally, staff don't delete stuff unless it has a bunch of stuff that break site rules. If you want everyone to ignore this, you can just blank it. _{Not staff}

I've also sent them a PM with a link to the warning. As this is not a particularly egregious case, I'm inclined to hold off on escalating for now. Should they continue to backseat mod, given their history, I would support a long ban.
