Noting that it was brought to staff attention that new site member 
toxic author (formerly Likini, account age 22 days, site membership 21 days) "has been going through the idea crit forums and giving critique that is pretty empty of constructive feedback and feels pretty mean-spirited. […] doesn’t make any suggestions or ask questions to help prospective authors improve, but instead just leaves rude feedback echoing what other, more experienced critters have said".
Today, the user posted the following in another author's (well-received) concept critique thread: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17799917/seeking-greenlight-physician-hide-thyself#post-7955715 post title "REALLY?!"
THIS IS REALLY—I honestly can’t believe it, I’m in shock. Sorry for the emotions, but I can’t ignore this. Especially you, DianaBerry. Now to the criticism:
Honestly, I know a lot of stories, and yes, there is drama here, but the Foundation is acting badly!!!
Where is your criticism, DianaBerry? I know you like psychology was it really just because you liked it so much?
[…]
It’s honestly kind of ridiculous. Some people wait weeks or even months, and here there’s no criticism, no advice-just “cool idea” and that’s it. DianaBerry, did you just give your green light for no reason? Honestly, others are also waiting and trying, and here it’s only four days and already another green light and a “finished story” with issues that you, as an official critic, didn’t take into account.
People are already messaging me in PMs for advice, I reply and try to help others, and this is very bad criticism and an undeserved green light!!!
A staff post was issued; following that, the user posted to the same thread: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17799917/seeking-greenlight-physician-hide-thyself#post-7955858
I understand you. I thought this might change something, but it all feels pointless. Why even try?
Well done. Wow.
You probably won’t see me anymore at all. I know you don’t really care, but still… does an idea with these problems really deserve a green light?
They then posted this in their own critique thread: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17823234/the-end-of-love#post-7956142
Now let me tell you what you need so critics won’t ignore you.
First of all: write what they like. Don’t focus too much on your own strange or complicated ideas. Why bother? If you want a greenlight, adapt to them. It’s easier for them to greenlight a simple dramatic story without complicated details that require deep thought and understanding.
Second: always write the way the critic wants. You have your own idea or proposal? Shape it into something the critics will like. Read tons of rules and hope your idea gets noticed. And yes, it may get noticed—but greenlights usually go to those who adapt themselves to the critics.
And third, the final thing: the chances are small. The chances that you’ll become an exception are very small. Sure, you can keep writing, but honestly it may be easier to spend your time on something else—drawing, videos, music—instead of wasting your time here just trying to please official critics.
I’m that same “aggressive” and “toxic” author, so feel free to ban me if you disagree. That would only prove my point.
By the way, how do you like this idea? Does it sound like me right now?
They also changed their username, and changed their wikidot "about" to read "never write to official critics because they don't like those whose ideas have potential but don't fit their criteria."
storm, Ari, Kufat, nico, and Mann voted to issue a yearlong ban. Ban enacted, PM sent.
