AI Record - DinhLam

Zyn 09 Jun 2026 07:10

Noting that new site member DinhLam (account age 72 days, site membership 15 days) recently posted the following concept thread, which has multiple indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17994379/seeking-greenlight-critique-a-love-poem

+ show block

Seeking Greenlights: Yes

Page Type: Tale

Genre: Poetry, LGBT+

Elevator Pitch: This idea is a quiet portrait of a late night conversation between two men, where the outside world completely fades away. Without any loud words, their deep affection is subtly and tenderly captured through shared glances and an accidental touch of fingers beneath the stars.

Central Narrative: Set in a silent night isolated from the bustling world, the narrative focuses on two men sitting on an empty porch. The story shifts from the quietness of nature to the invisible connection between them through an unspoken conversation filled with soft laughter. The climax is not a conflict, but a moment of shared awareness of a gentle, hidden affection crystallized by an accidental touch of fingers and a glance that speaks louder than any promise.

Additional Notes: I would like to submit this idea for PrideFest 2026. I will build a lore for it in near future.

[…]
As for my personal tastes, I am deeply into poetry, literature, psychological horror, and surrealism.
Currently, I am a translator for the SCP Vietnamese Branch. To be honest, I'm not a complete newbie to Wikidot, but my writing and coding skills are still pretty basic. (A little secret: most of the code I use comes from stealing studying from other SCP articles).

Because of that, I really hope to get some guidance and help from elder authors to get more familiar with this platform, as well as to contribute more quality works in the future.

Dear SCP Wiki Administration Team,
I am writing this to respectfully appeal my recent ban from the SCP Wiki, which was issued under the assumption that I used AI-generated materials.
I want to say clearly that I have never used any AI tools to generate content. All of my works are my own work.
However, I completely understand why the administration might suspect about my writing style. In the past, I used to rely on AI to help write my school essays. While I have completely stopped doing this, that habit heavily influenced how I structure my sentences and express ideas. Because I became so accustomed to that specific style of writing before joining the wiki, my natural words can sometimes look or read like AI-generated text.
I am currently putting a lot of effort into developing an independent writing style and breaking away from those old habits. Although I am no longer dependent on AI at all, I admit that my writing still carries a trace of that influence.
I deeply care about the SCP community and respect its rules about original content. I am willing to cooperate, provide drafts, or explain my creative process to prove the human-made of my work.
If the administration still believe that my work is similar to AI content too closely to lift the ban entirely, I would like to ask if a compromise is possible. I would deeply appreciate the chance to prove myself.
Thank you very much for reading. I look forward to your response.

Can you explain why the text of your concept critique thread, specifically the Central Narrative portion "Set in a silent night isolated from the bustling world, the narrative focuses on two men sitting on an empty porch. The story shifts from the quietness of nature to the invisible connection between them through an unspoken conversation filled with soft laughter. The climax is not a conflict, but a moment of shared awareness of a gentle, hidden affection crystallized by an accidental touch of fingers and a glance that speaks louder than any promise." not only does not follow the prompt, but also is structured in the same way that AI-generated responses to the template are?

Dear SCP Wiki Administration Team

Thank you for clarifying the issue. I’m going to address the concern regarding the Central Narrative portion you mentioned:
First, I want to clarify that I completely support the SCP Wiki’s strict anti AI policies. I deeply understand how these rules are preserving the human creativity and honesty of the community, and I do not fault the administration for being highly protective of the site's standard.

Next, I now realize that I focused too much on describing the atmosphere and emotions between two characters, rather than clearly outlining the structure point required by the template. This was my oversight in understanding what the thread wanted.

The vocabulary and phrases (like “crystalized” or “invisible connection”) came from my attempt to translate my thoughts from my native language into a more literary English style, I was relying on translation tools for choosing words which accidentally resulted in a rigid structure similar to AI-generated.

To prove this was entirely human-made, I have compiled my notes which I can provide this link: [link removed, available to staff]

I am fully committed to proving my honesty.

Thank you for your time and for giving me the chance to explain.
