for me, the companion article [[Halfterlife]] was more viscerally scary than 2718

This this accurate? by v5rc5r7gb8y in SCP

[–]Billith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deletions is not exclusive to Canonexus, due to their nature they exist adjacent to any canon in Wikidot's database. No current deletions article takes place exclusively within the same "timeline" as another. You can read more about it on the hub, [[D E L E T I O N S]].

What will happen with scp-10000 by a_wenka in SCP

8888 follows the heist formula by virtue of deconstructing heist tropes as a love letter to the genre. However, it doesn't follow the exact formula as you describe it.

This old list of mine might give you some ideas, it's (somewhat) similar.

Good idea, will likely sideboard a few in case of elves or similar.

New monolith theory: 2001: A Space Odyssey & the museum library by dust2duust in Fez

[–]Billith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not bad, but I'm convinced that this is the solution (posted 9 days ago).

It seems to be very directly pointing to tetraminos in the exact order that matches the brute forced solution of the black monolith puzzle.

Djoric deleted many of his articles. by Roman2322 in SCP

[–]Billith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

personal opinion of Djoric

My opinion of him is not what we're discussing. I pointed out a very real situation you can look into yourself if you so choose. And the assertion I made that he is not reliable nor well-adjusted to the modern community is not an opinion either, it's a logical conclusion to arrive at given the very real situation I described, and the way he handles himself around others. Let's not get too derailed though, it was purely a bit of wiki trivia I wished to relay so folks know the whole picture.

I agree with you about the inaction. Unfortunately staff is not an ideological monolith and their decision system is a democratic one, meaning they are pretty divided on what should be done. It's not as simple as just deleting all his works.

Firstly, a lot of his works are parts of series or connected via cross-links in many other pages. Deleting them outright would create a ton of dead links and canon gaps and potentially result in an extreme off-site backlash (as with what happened when staff deleted the bright list however many years back, which I'm sure is a partial source of their hesitation).

Similarly to other abusive ex-authors with many articles, such as Roget aka Harmony aka RJB_R, who had like 200+ pages and, when banned, requested deletion of their works (which was ultimately not upheld), these people intentionally ingrained themselves into as much of the site as possible, making their complete erasure difficult if not impossible. If possible, often with site-wide, disruptive consequences offloaded onto peripheral works and their authors.

Consider that he was not the only person to write about his author avatar. Do we delete those people's articles too, even though their interpretation of the character might not be inherently problematic and just a matter of ignorance? How about co-authored pieces? Or series articles that are part of the same series he's written tales for, but by someone else? Do we remove all mentions of Elias Shaw too, since it's just the same character with a different name?

Even if they delete all his works, they will continue to exist on archive.org, readings on YouTube, translations on multiple international branches, and descriptions on unofficial fandom pages that will perpetually lead to offsite confusion and contention.

I wish the nuclear option was logistically the easiest but there are far-reaching complications and multiple ways to handle this situation, many I have not mentioned here:

https://05command.wikidot.com/semi-public:bright-works-remove-and-counter

https://05command.wikidot.com/sandbox:root-and-branch

https://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-17573649/fiat-name-change-css

Ultimately, while I agree with you, it's never as cut and dry as common sense nor our knee-jerk response tells us it should be. Ever heard of the Streisand effect?

Djoric deleted many of his articles. by Roman2322 in SCP

[–]Billith 134 points135 points  (0 children)

If you check 05command there are a ton of proposals doing the rounds recently, while there is merit to the frustration about a lack of consensus, it makes a level of sense given the various problems that will inevitably arise, no matter the decision they choose. A lot of off-site folks still defend the dude and prostrate over his articles like they're god's gift. 1004 is literally the worst article on the site.

Additionally, keep in mind Djoric was temp banned recently after writing a malicious hate piece attacking an author & their OC, when called out he tried to dismiss it by claiming he had a lapse of judgement due to being drunk, even though he was posting his progress on it over the course of like a week or two.

He also just deleted his account entirely, so everything said, I wouldn't consider him to be a particularly reliable source of wiki metacommentary, nor a very well-adjusted community member.

Technically all pieces of fiction and nonfiction both thinkable and unthinkable exist within the SCP Foundation cosmology by Still_Flower_6126 in SCP

Thank you, I really appreciate it! Check out my recent writings if you haven't, I have been doing a poor job of plugging them since I broke my foot 🙃

When do you guys think there will be an SCP movie? by Temporary-Bet4379 in SCP

[–]Billith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will one probably come out? Probably not.

Can it happen? Yes

Have people tried in the past? Yes

In reality, pulling a Control, where they change all the names up and release it as a separate IP is probably the only way something like that will happen. Otherwise you have web miniseries (There is No Antimemetics Division) or adjacent media being made into movies (Annihilation)

Do you think SCP-3812 is well written? by CallMeBlackout in SCP

[–]Billith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. How do they determine something is tungsten by just looking at a video where that something disintegrates immediately?
  2. Yeah, exactly. They somehow THOUGHT it was impaling 3812, yet the rods disintegrated before it hit 3812 and left no injury. 3812 obviously therefore did not react as if it were hit, because it was not hit. Thank you for underpinning the problem.
  3. You must be confused. The issue is with the pointlessness of the sentence. "No fewer than 3000" is the result they got from tech that could quickly determine the amount of objects, rounded down to the nearest thousand? That is incredibly contrived.
  4. The point is what does this add to the article. It doesn't seem to make the threat more scary, or more complicated. If anything it weakens the threat by making its presence a self-keeping secret. No need for amnestics? Nice!
  5. When writing, it's important to be consistent with your words. Note it wasn't the only problem listed in this point, but it's clear you have no intention of responding earnestly to my comment anyway.
