Disciplinary - August Quinlan

Zyn 08 Mar 2025 06:57

Noting that it came to staff attention that August Quinlan (account age and site membership 354 days) recently edited several authors' pages without permission to implement CSS changes ("specifically changing the CSS (ie: changing the ACS component to the animated component version)") and other unauthorized stylistic edits.

It looks like the majority of the changes were to recent coldposts, though they did also edit a page in Series IV. Some of their edit comments:

• "Bolded headings, added styling"
• "Added missing spaces."
• "added ACS animation."

Membership revoked, PM sent. Queerious supporting and handled page reverts.

Noting that upon rejoining, they have posted on another user's coldposted page trying to get them to use the animated ACS header they were editing in previously: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8128/comments/show#post-6885027 comment title "Want help?"

Insert this code anywhere on your page to animate the ACS header.

[[include :scp-wiki:component:acs-animation]]

They also added tags, several of which were not on the official list: uncontained, candy, door, music, teleportation, pending

Noting that it was brought to staff attention that the user made further stylistic edits without permission, this time indicating in the edit comment that they "fixed some grammar and spelling": https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7458

changes include:

• removed comma from "rises above 40°C, or rises by 10°C"
• added comma "If I go along with this, will you let"
• removed comma from "frowns slightly, and makes"
• changed "Utilised" and "utilised" to US spelling
• capitalized "god"

As their membership has already been revoked for this behavior, staff has enacted a weeklong ban on the user. PM sent, Zoobeeny supporting.
