Non-Disc Record - DrGersch

User [[*user DrGersch]] has a history of confrontational or misleading feedback. 

Thread leading to Non-Disc [[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-2537025/scp-3106 |here]]]. I intervened in the thread and found more questionable posts.

> Author, you should really read the How to Write an SCP Guide, use the Sandbox to write your draft and post it on the Draft Section of the Forum.
> 
> Your skip is a basic TTKY (Thing-That-Kills-You) skip, the writing standards have changed since the First series, "monsters that kill you" are no longer interesting. You have to subvert your idea, most skips that are successful nowadays rely on a very strong narrative or on mind-bending twists and originality.
> 
> Moreover, your article has a lot of formatting issues (unnecessary paragraphs that are making reading more difficult, lack of the description and mainly **__WHERE ARE THE CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES ?????__**. It's not because a skip isn't captured yet that you should delete this section, you have to write that your skip is on the loose in that section, and who is looking for it. Reading the rest of the article, this makes even less sense since the skip is immobile and its location is precisely known)

> That part should be at the beginning of the description, and 2 dimensions for a 3 dimensional object are bad. **__AND USE THE METRIC SYSTEM__** (this is a huge mistake, the Foundation is composed of scientists, and thus, they use the metric system which is the standard measure system in science).

> False. It's not because you can't destroy it that you can't contain it, for example, I don't know, something like :
> 
> + SCP-173 or SCP-682 or SCP-106 or SCP-096 ???!!!

Called out by [[*user Zachary Maxwell]] on the latter example.

And that's just what I could find on page one of posts and comments.
Posting here for record keeping. It looks like it's coming from a good place, but they should reel their bluntness in a bit.

Yeah, if I recall correctly, this user was on my "toeing the line" radar for some time. I'll keep a closer eye on them and drop a C&D if they don't improve.

Nice team-up on that second case with Lev, Zach, and Magnus. Good work, team!
