[…]This criticism is not helpful and potentially harmful. I, as a user, urge you to read the scp guides before performing any more criticism. Had the creator taken your criticism, the article may have been further deteriorated.

[under a collapsible] The above can be seen as backseat modding, but backseat modding is defined as telling other users how to act on the site, I am only telling them how to improve their criticism.
This is not intentionally backseat modding in my perspective

Given the history of this behavior and the fact that they've gotten a revoke, dropped an official warning and sent them a PM. We move to bans on further infractions.

ETA: received reply. Am refraining from providing judgment on content.

Yeah, I know, you didn't need to remind me of previous staff intervention though.
Sorry about that, again. I won't try to do this stuff anymore. Unless I am staff of course which I know I probably wont be in at least a couple years span of time.

Thanks for notifying me. -3-
(ps: This doesn't lose me any zyn-brownie points does it?)

And they're back with problematic critique:

http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-7634213/biofluency-gel#post-4002463

At it's current state, the scp is just a thing that does a thing. Or wierd science. Its not interesting or seemingly innovative at all. I feel like as a site, we have moved away from things that do things and more into narrative exploration.

But Currently, it's not very interesting.
Did you run this idea through ideas and br~
oh this IS ideas and brainstorming.
I'm gonna leave this to the mods but I dont quite think this belongs here.

Good luck.

The story is a good moral lesson on how to not be stupid and I sorta like it, its akin to sylvester and the magic pebble. But the dude's power is like, way too strong. Like

regardless of how big, small, destructive, it would happen

Why not just destroy everything around him and escape??

In my opinion, the storytelling concept unique but lacks a good anomaly to truly execute it.
We already have a ton of reality benders, I mean you could make it work but with how cliched reality benders are, you are going to have to work hard to make it work.

Keep an eye on. It's been almost a year since their last problematic behavior, but if this becomes a habit we move immediately to C&D.

They responded to a staff post with: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-7634213/biofluency-gel#post-4003584

Yes madam (or is it ma'am?).
I'll be sure to follow your guidelines.

In the future I will only post after someone has already posted and provide better advice. At least until I become more experienced.

[Serious formal mode off]

though I am feeling attacked about his new post like

In my last post, I got shot down immediately by someone who wasn't very helpful in the slightest.
Thank's Zyn.

Damn dude, don't gotta rub it in, I know I messed up like. [Insert embarrassed meme]
Also that "thanks Zyn"?
boi you got another thing going if you gon contend for admins pet, cause a whole lotta peeps including me tryin to get dat. haha XD

Apologies For the content above, just trying to make light of the situation with non-serious light-hearted jokes. None of the above is trying to attack him in any manner.
thank you for understanding.

I'm guessing they're just young and don't know better, but this is starting to edge into creep territory for me.

Dropped a C&D at the request of Zyn here.

+ PM sent

Hello TechDoomsday,

My name is Taylor and I am an Operational Staff member on the SCP Foundation Wiki. As seen here, staff have decided to issue you a Cease and Desist on providing critique on the forums until you have at least one successful mainsite article. This message is being sent to ensure that you see the C&D has been issued.

Thank you for your time.

Noting that they recently responded pretty poorly to a reviewer here: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-7622920/scp-idea:asylum-not-a-horror-scp#post-4005102

Quotes include:

The stuff you were suggesting in the first post was overly nitpicky.

Lazer sounds cooler, and should probably be the way to spell it, freakin dictionary and their boring spellings… regardless. I do have spellcheck, but this is not my "work" it is an idea on an idea forum (do i need to reiterate this) that does not need to be "professional."

It's an anomalous object, they do these things.

I don't really see how it's overcomplicated, see the brief explanation in the beginning. Its like 3 sentences long, it's not complicated.

Butterfly Squad, be advised. If they react this way to one of you, feel free to decline any requests from them moving forward.

And again: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-7622920/scp-idea:asylum-not-a-horror-scp#post-4005987

I don't see this post as anything but you trying to get the last word in and attaining moral highground.
You could've left by only saying "I have nothing left to say"

Your criticism shows you are not very experienced. I was only pointing that out.
I'm sure a more experienced writer would have a much different opinion than your's which is overly cynical. This is an ideas forum, nothing says I need perfect grammar here, despite you saying it constantly. And even if a more experienced writer has the same opinion here, I'm sure they would be able to explain things better to me than you can.

But uh, thank you for writing anyways.
Am I being overly defensive?

We may need to move into another official warning or potentially a ban. They've already been revoked and warned last year about their behavior.

I’m not disc but I would advocate for an official warning. This crosses a line into flat-out insulting another user. Not ok.

Noting that they brought up the stickied thread about the drama from last year and seemed… kind of pushy and misinformed about reinstating the Pride logo?

+ show block

http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-6242173/sticky-regarding-threads-about-recent-drama#post-4394758

Is the pride logo coming back next June?
I really hope it does.
And I hope this little debacle doesn't scare us off from supporting a good cause, especially with the US supreme court ruling in favour of LGBT not being under the protected group's list, making employers able to fire those under the pretense of their sexual orientation exclusively.

If the staff were unanimous on bringing it back next June, it would be an act of solidarity. And I know that many, including me, would appreciate and love to see this kind of support, even if it were a small gesture.

(Idk if this is a dead thread, I just wanted to voice this somewhere)

http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-6242173/sticky-regarding-threads-about-recent-drama#post-4397405

The drama is over, those who disagree with it are gone, no further damage can be done in my opinion.
The second time around, there's going to be significantly less drama, because it's already happened, and shouldn't matter anymore… right?
And backing off from something like this, or, even actively opposing it, seems like regression than anything else.
Some "Drama" really shouldn't be a factor of fear, at all, a tiny logo change for the month shouldn't make people this mad. Like I looked at it and said "cool." Because it wasn't a big deal. Someone who takes issue with a simple temporary logo change probably has some deep-rooted issues themselves. Why are we scared of these people?
Drama doesn't just "repeat", right?
I don't know dude, just seems a Lil wrong to me, but you might know something I don't.

Mistakes were made, lessons were learned, maybe we can do it better next time.

Of note, the second comment originally read:

Why do we care about how a few bad apples feel? They're bad apples.

I'm guessing this is just naiveté with regards to not being familiar with the full extent of what the community and staff had to deal with (and are effectively still dealing with, since we do get the occasional troll/spammer from time to time). That said, given their previous behavior and the fact that they don't have many other recent posts… might merit keeping an eye on.
