User Dearheart, formerly known as damnCream, has left the following comment on Djoric's recent SCP:
This snowflake sure is special.
As he's had a history of less-than-stellar critique, I sent a warning via PM:
Hello Dearheart,
It has come to staff attention that some of your posts, such as this comment have been in violation of both our Criticism Policy and Wheaton's Law (ie, don't be a dick). Please desist from making nonconstructive comments. This is an official warning.ProcyonLotor, Site Criticism
I get that the 'masturbatory' remark was pretty bad (I'd actually go back and delete it if I could, because that one was worthless and did not explain what I meant, and I myself dislike it and see it as pointless venom), but in all sincerity, how have I had a 'history' of this? Surely none of it's been over-the-top friendly, but what's been so wrong with it all?
Terribly flattered that you remembered my previous name, by the way~ I take it as nothing less than a sign of genuine personal affection.
Hello Dearheart,
It has been informally noted by several users that your critique tends to be unnecessarily rude and vehement, such as the comment discussed in your message and the one that started this conversation. There is no disciplinary action being considered at this time, so just remember to keep your criticism constructive and focused on the draft, and you should be fine.
Thanks,
ProcyonLotor, Site Criticism
Sent me another PM, and this one deserves to lead off its own post.
Excellent. Acknowledged. Submitted. I appreciate the guarded boilerplate and all its relevance to my inquiry. This has been an informative, beneficial, and meaningful interaction that will undoubtedly better my standing and my value as a member of the SCP community, and certainly not just the vague shaking of a text-fist because beep borp.
How do I make that sound non-sarcastic? GOSH, all of these keyboard
I suppose it's adequate to pound ill-fitting pieces into place and ignore the gaps and cracks. Especially in a scientific or technical document.
I appreciate the primer on communicating like a human being. I think the problem is that I know what words mean. I'll have to work on that, perhaps by bashing my astoundingly handsome head with a rock.
I staffposted and closed thread after consulting chat:
You have been officially warned to stop leaving confrontational/insulting comments before. This is now being submitted for disciplinary action.
On a related note, this topic is now closed. Anyone with further questions may PM me or another member of staff.
This is a closed post. Please do not reply unless you are staff.
This guy is toxic. Thoughts?
48-hour ban, I think. Combining his reply to you and his reply to me seems reasonable.
24 hours would also be fine.
if your reading this your gay
Seconding 48 hour ban, and I'd recommend that you (Procyon) don't reply to PMs he sends. I think it'd be best if the communication here goes through mods or admins, since this is the point where disciplinary action is meted out.
I did not reply to the last one he sent (posted above) and if he sends any more, I will do likewise. There's nothing productive down that path.
Ban of whichever length is merited. Will support either.
Guy thinks we're here to hear their middling-quality insults to other authors. They are mistaken.
48 hours
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
48. Also, I swear to God I am certain I've seen that flavor of snark somewhere before. Google, 05, and wiki searches produce nothing fruitful, but I know I've seen that exact paragraph before. The "because beep borp" is distinct. I think he may have been warned on a deleted SCP and gave that same response, possibly?
"Beep borp" is a relatively common internet phrase.
Edit: Need one more admin.
Was this lifted?
if your reading this your gay
It was not. It has been now.
Additionally, I would like to add: please add notes for why blocks are put in place when the block is added. Without that, I don't have a way to automatically lift expired bans when I check them periodically. Thanks.

If you ban them from the abusive user page, it doesn't give you an option to add a reason.
Admin, SCP Wiki
Yeah, but we can remove them via that page and then ban manually with less trouble.
In related news, wikidot's setup sucks.
I feel like they've gotten more warnings over the past three years; this thread seems empty?
Posted on a tale that's currently at -8, saying:
I'm glad the start and end were labelled. Turns out I've been doing it backwards all along. This changes everything.
ARD gave a nice reminder to be nicer:
Dearheart, your post is unnecessarily sarcastic and fails to actually explain the problem with labeling the start and the end (that it's totally unnecessary). Take care to provide some substance with your sarcasm.
And I just didn't pull any shit:
Additionally, you've been warned for your behavior multiple, numerous times. If you can't break out of this habit of being extremely snarky and giving contentless critique when you comment on articles, you can expect further disciplinary action.
Given that it's been three years since anything was logged in here, I opted to only leave a warning.
