Dr Hamilton posted an unfinished skip, or possibly a draft, straight to the mainlist.

(Yes, it did cut off in midsentence like that.)

Roget and I started (accidentally simultaneous) votes for summary deletion, which have four votes between them now, so I'm deleting the page. (Edit: Drewbear beat me to it.) I'll PM the author as well:

Hello Dr Hamilton,

Your article, SCP-1681 ("Humanoid Bones"), has been summarily deleted. This is because it was either a sandbox or an unfinished article, neither of which belong on the main SCP website. You need to create a sandbox for yourself, and put any future drafts there. Also, please seek feedback on the SCP forums before posting any articles to the site.

He replied:

Yes, I do understand. I accidentaly saved the article when still in progres. I'm still editing the article to upload it later.

I asked him to please do so on a sandbox this time. Hopefully he listens.

Uh, for the record, he didn't. "Humaniod Bones" was added to the mainsite today. Granted, it was complete, but also replete with errors.

+ They sent me a PM today.

ProcyonLotor,

Concerning: SCP-1681

On the date of 31/01/14 (American: 01/31/14)
I wrote a SCP. It's my first one. It had a lot of dislikes, I can't say I disagree.
The article is probably deleted by the time you read this, It has -50 likes.
I took all criteria serious, And I decided to edit my post to readers desire.

But however, I don't want to fill up the site with useless crap, So if the sandbox criteria is positive, Can i reupload the whole thing (Improved)?

Yours truly,

[Real name removed]

+ My reply

Dr. Hamilton,

Thanks for your PM. Don't feel like you have to beat yourself up over a poorly-received article; almost all of the prominent authors on the site have at least few deletions under their belts. As long as you sandbox your draft, make constructive edits in line with the criticism, you are able to resubmit it. Although this is not a rule, I would heavily advise you (and not just you, everyone on the site) to run your sandbox article by the drafts forum or the chat in #site19 before submitting to the mainlist. If the reaction there is mostly positive, you have almost certainly made enough edits to repost it to the list. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to PM me or another member of staff.

Sincerely,
ProcyonLotor, Junior Staff, Site Criticism and Community Outreach.

It seems to have been an honest mistake, and that is hopefully the end of all that.

Moving this thread to Major User Issues for reasons which should become apparent shortly.

On the discussion thread for his SCP-1681 ("Humanoid Bones" again, albeit significantly edited), Hamilton has been acting… problematic. The biggest issue, for me, is the following exchange:

BadDoctor: If you're the only litterate [sic] person in your school, I can only wonder if you've met the minimum age limit for joining the site.
DrHamilton: Good diagnosis for a bad doctor.

…Did he just flat-out tell us that he's underage?

---

Even if he isn't, the following chestnuts are, at best, toeing the line of acceptable behavior:

I'm not looking for an excuse.
I'm just kinda shocked how this community thinks they're very classy well educated people. While in reality, 80% of the people I met are right in the face jack-asses.

I've seen a lot of assholes today nd I'm sick of it. So I kinda react it out to everyone.

Both of those in response to critique of his ideas. In fairness, a lot of the criticism on the article discussion is sharp to the point of nearly insulting, but from what I'm seeing it's all either in line with the Criticism Policy or has already been called out as problematic by other staff.

He has been removed from the site, at current a ban for 24 hours. Anyone want longer?

Message sent:

Dr Hamiltion

You have been banned from the scp-wiki for the next 24 hours, due to your intolerable reactions on the thread of scp-1681. You may rejoin the site in 24 hours, unless the staff feel a longer ban is warrented. Please remember that we strive for civility on this site and while your detractors may have come off sounding harsh, they were not directly insulting you, and, even if they were, your response is to go Staff, not fire back yourself.

If at any time you feel a user is being overly harsh, you are always welcome to come to staff and ask for intervention.

Bright

24 is enough for me.

For clarification, he also posted multiple times in subthreads that had official stop orders posted on them and kept snapping off pissy little one-line comebacks on anybody who tried to talk to him. There were many, many infractions over a short period of time in the one thread.
