AI Record - dr_arthur_1

Noting that on 10/23/2025, dr_arthur_1 (account age 568 days, site membership 567 days) coldposted two poetry works to the mainsite:

• https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-hourglass-man (now deleted)
• http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/whispers-behind-your-door

Both pages were posted in entirety upon creation, and neither had an associated sandbox. There were some indicators of AI-generation/assistance, such as:

By the time you realize it, your moments are gone, your life measured grain by grain, and only the Hourglass Man remains — patient, eternal, and never quite human.

This month, the user coldposted two more poems with AI-indicators and no sandboxes. They also edited the remaining page from October:

I hear it sometimes,
just past the quiet hallways,
a soft whisper,
a breath that's not mine.

The walls are white,
clean enough to forget the world,
but the shadows remember still.
They watch,
and they wait for you.

I keep a key in my pocket,
feel its weight like a heartbeat.
It’s supposed to stop them,
but I fear if it stops me too.

The light snapped,
and for a moment,
I think I saw someone, something
smile back at me.

Revision:

I hear it sometimes,
just past the quiet hallways—
a soft whisper, a breath that is not mine
but knows the shape of my name.

The walls are white,
clean enough to forget the world,
but the shadows- remember.
They linger in the corners,
patient,
as if waiting for someone
who looks a like me.

I keep a key in my pocket,
feel its weight like a heartbeat.
They told me it keeps the doors locked,
the voices out,
the things behind the walls asleep.

But some nights,
it feels like the key is holding me shut,
keeping something inside
that isn’t supposed to get out.

The light snapped—
a brittle, dying sound.
In the dark,
for a single breath of silence,
I saw someone standing there.
Not behind me.
Not beside me.
But exactly where I should have been.
It smiled.
My ribs tightened.

The whisper came again—
closer now,
warm against my ear.
And for the first time,
I wasn’t sure
whether I was the one haunting the hallways,
or the one being hunted by them.

The hum comes first—
soft, steady, patient.
Like something breathing
;whispering, through the walls.

No one else hears it.
They say the pipes are old.
That the building settles at night,
that sound travels strangely
in empty places.

But the room knows my name.

Each evening, the lights dim
half a second early.
shadows lean forward
as if they’ve been waiting
all day for me to come back.

I try not to look at the corner.
It is always dark there—
not unlit,
but occupied by someone, something.
I don't know what.

The hum deepens.
I feel it behind my ribs
like a second heartbeat
Trying to learn
the rhythm of mine.

Last night,
I pressed my ear to the floor.
The floor was warm.
Something whispered,
“Stay still.
You’re almost hollow enough.”*

Tonight, the air shivers.
Dust rises in slow spirals.
The walls breathe in.
The corner exhales.

A hand I cannot see
traces the outline of my shadow,
pulling gently,
patiently,

as if checking whether
I am ready to step out of myself
and leave the rest behind.

And the hum—
so steady,
so comforting—
finally opens like a door.

I step toward the corner.

It steps toward me.

The floorboards knew I was coming.

They groaned the way old cuts do

when weather changes,

pulling memory to their surface

like something swollen under the skin.

I stepped inside anyway.

Dust rose as if startled,

not by my arrival,

but by the fact that I had come alone—

as though it had expected others

who used to follow me,

their laughter soft enough

to fit between the walls.

But laughter rots fastest.

In the corner, the wallpaper peeled back

in long, rolling strips,

revealing handwriting beneath—

my handwriting—

marking heights I do not remember growing to.

I touched the paper.

It shivered.

Somewhere in the hallway

a door closed by itself,

not violently,

but with the heavy calm

I should have left then.

Instead, I followed the sound,

because the air felt thinner now,

as if the house was breathing in

and had not yet decided

whether it would breathe me out.

At the end of the hall was a mirror

I did not remember owning.

Its surface was fogged

from the inside.

I wiped it clean with my sleeve—

and my reflection lagged behind,

a fraction of a second too slow,

eyes still closed
when mine were open.

It raised its hand before I did.

“Welcome back,”

it mouthed
with my lips,

my teeth,

my breath that wasn’t of mine.

The house exhaled.

Floorboards settled.

Dust laid still.

The hall stretched longer behind me,

shorter in front.

And I understood then:

it wasn’t the mirror that trapped me.

It was the moment

the house remembered my name

while I had long forgotten it.

I like the line "clean enough to forget the world,", and the stuff about the key, since I think it's strong imagery and very interesting. However, the rest of the poem seems disconnected with it. Literally, it's a boring scary story. Figuratively, it feels like it's still half a scary story and half something else."

Thanks for your review. I am working on it!

Noting that the user submitted the following appeal in Discord:

Hello Staff.

I want to appeal my ban on the SCP Wiki.

I got a message on my Wikidot PM claiming I submitted AI generated or AI assisted content in the site.

I swear, I didn't even use any AI to even proofread or improve my thinking. Writing with it is more a further far away thing/thought.

I never used AI to ever generate any ideas too. All the tales (3) I wrote were of my own. My own thinking. My own ideas.

(after asked if they wished to add anything else)

Yes.
If my writing style unknowingly resembled AI. I apologize. But still, I can assure you that the whole content is written by me. And AI has not at all been used in any manner including but not limited to proofreading, suggesting ideas, corrections, modifying, improving quality or tone. I used AI for nothing. I always respected the site rules carefully.

Staff discussed the appeal; consensus was to decline. subtletea, Kufat, afto voted to decline.

After being informed of the decline, user sent back:

Hi Zyn,
I hope you’re doing well.
Thank you for taking time to review my appeal. Although I am sad on hearing the decision, I respect it.

For my own understanding. Could you please tell me what specific writing patterns appeared AI-assisted to staff?

Also, since I plan to submit another appeal the next year. I would be really thankful if you could please let me know what kind of information or evidence would be helpful to include in it?

Thank you for your time, and have a good day.

I replied:

Formatting, word choice, overall page structure, and punctuation were common tells; particularly in the now-deleted page you posted, originally in this url: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-hourglass-man Also, it was noted that the poems submitted had some repetitive phrases across works, and there was a general dissimilarity between the submitted material and your forum typing.

I would be really thankful if you could please let me know what kind of information or evidence would be helpful to include in it?

The most effective evidence would be in-progress drafts with accompanying timestamps and source comparisons; sandbox pages tend to be the most reliable for such.

Hi Zyn.

Sorry for the late response. I was busy in some other work.

Thanks! I know that these signs tend to be potential AI indicators. But I sometimes have a habit of writing like that.

And about forum typing - I wrote them in a haste. I had to go out at that time. Hence sorry for that.

The most effective evidence would be in-progress drafts with accompanying timestamps and source comparisons; sandbox pages tend to be the most reliable for such.

Thanks! I have this saved on my desktop. I used to write on Word. And everyday once I finished, I used to take a screenshot of the time and add it there - just incase, if ever it's required to show to anyone.
I will get them presented in the next appeal.

Thanks for taking time to review my appeal.

I did not respond.
