Non-Disc Record - Commodore_32

Noting for records-keeping that new site member Commodore_32 (account age 24 days, site membership 3 days) recently sent me the following PM:

subject heading "SCP idea critique: The Dollar General Plague by Commodore_32"

Hi, I am a first time author asking for a critique of my SCP idea.

It takes inspiration from this youtube video (I will be sure to credit them):

I sent back:

Sandbox link:

This is not a link to a sandbox page; this is a forum thread url. Do you want me to review the forum thread?

Additionally:

It takes inspiration from this youtube video (I will be sure to credit them):

Did you confirm with the creators of the video that they agree to releasing their content under the SCP wiki's Creative Commons license? Depending on how much material is referenced, just a text credit may not properly adhere to the mainsite's licensing policy. Also, why didn't you mention the inspiration source in the forum thread?

As of now, user's only mainsite activity is the forum thread linked above, and a single bump post: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17304525/the-discount-plague-of-dollar-general-by-commodore-32#post-7265558

Hello, zyn. As a first time author, it is an honor to talk with you. Not including the inspiration source in the forum thread was an oversight on my part. I will not make this mistake in the future. Furthermore, I was not aware that a text credit would be insufficient to follow the mainsite's policy. I read the site's rules in full before applying for membership, and was unaware of this seperate webpage with a licensing policy. I will keep this in mind moving forward.

I will reach out the makers of the youtube video and be sure to ask permission from them so I may use their video as inspiration for my story.

Warm regards,

Commodore_32

I'm sorry for doing this. I am a first time author and simply wanted to make sure the reply system worked. I Intended to deleted this contentless post, but I didn't see any button or method to delete it. If you can direct me to a way to delete it, then I will gladly do so.

I didn't even know that "bumping threads" was even a thing. I hope you will understand my mistake.

I responded with links to the forum guidelines and site rules.
