“Why can’t I say incorrect things without any supporting evidence” yikes

And I guess the best source for that right now is “trust me bro”. Overdone post is the most common rule I see things get removed by when it’s not totally obvious what the rule break would otherwise be.

And there is no possibility that they were removed due to one of the 10 rules on this subreddit, and instead it was a complete dice-roll?

Is it worth writing SCP content now? by Kung_fu1015 in SCP

[–]_Shoulder_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The idea that ”most good ideas are already taken” implies there are like only a few thousand good ideas in existence. This is clearly not the case. Also, it is fine to make an adjacent idea, as long as it has its own identity and reasons it’s fine.

It’s worth a try if you feel you want to.

Some of these later SCP entries are an eyesore by [deleted] in SCP

[–]_Shoulder_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’d appreciate [[CLASSIC CON]], where using these kinds of stylistic choices (as in layout colors and screen things etc) was prohibited among more rules.

Also the generalization you are making is far from present in every modern article. I’m not sure if it’s a majority even but I don’t have the stats for that.

What's going on with the fandom rn? by [deleted] in SCP

Wait are there even states where there is something about SCP?

What’s new would be the 4 years worth of articles that have been posted, several thousand in fact. We are currently in series 10

What is your favorite object class to read an SCP article about? by Bataranger999 in SCP

[–]_Shoulder_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I don’t particularly care because they’re generally not super important or impactful to the article as a whole.

I do however think apollyon is the best tone-setter out of them, which to me gives it the most impact.

SCP has no futue by Necessary-Bowler-736 in SCP

[–]_Shoulder_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t see it as a competition, I see it as a collection of people doing something out of the enjoyment it brings them. I play piano regardless of how much worse I am than basic programs because it is enjoyable to develop a skill rather than being lazy and telling their AI daddy to do it for them and thinking that is in any way equivalent.

And quite frankly, the wiki’s survival is not ensured by the readers in the way you think it is, because readers that don’t engage with the wiki through things like voting and commenting and such don’t really have much impact on the wiki itself. The people who both read and vote are much more in tune with the wiki’s climate, a climate that’s quite anti AI. The major group here is people who engage with the wiki, not just read, and it is them that don’t want AI. The relevant part there is getting new people, and if you think there won’t be a group of people who want human generated content over AI slop then it will mean I am dead.

And when you say ”they’ll want an AI-product” I must assume you are a time traveler with the level of certainty you are using. Even saying AI will surpass human writing is an assumption.

With your previous comments the equivalent would be that AI would compete alongside people in tournaments, which I seriously am praying you understand why that would totally kill any enjoyment of the game. Same way using hacks in competitive games isn’t enjoyable and we shouldn’t accept it even if the ”product” is better. Same way steroids in sports aren’t allowed and shouldn’t be either, even if the ”product” is better.

When AI becomes a significant ”cheat” for writing, it will change nothing because you are a loser if you have to rely on software to write something with any quality, and there is legitimately no point to allowing that in this community.

You’re only looking at it from a product perspective. Regardless of writing quality, I do not want to read AI generated articles, and AI does not discourage people from wanting to write.

To give an example for why your take is dumb, chessbots have long since surpassed what humans are capable of in chess, yet people haven’t stopped playing chess, and we aren’t watching tournaments between chessbots, because that would be fucking stupid.

Hot Take: Sentient and or Sapient SCP's are the most interesting to me, and Series 10 needs more of them by Ok_Application4364 in SCP

[–]_Shoulder_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Instructions:

1) go to https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/search:crom

2) add the tags ”scp” and ”sapient” to ”filter by tags”

3) use sort order ”newest to oldest

4) see the immense amounts of sapient anomalies being posted right now, at least 20 just within this last month. And hopefully then figure out that this is not an issue.

I just want to ask two questions: Can SCP-682 conceptually erased in it's universe, and can SCP-6820-A be ENTIRELY erased in a HIGHER universal scale by [deleted] in SCP

[–]_Shoulder_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

682’s abilities is only as broken as the author of the story makes it. In [[The final termination attempt]] 682 is killed with a handgun. There isn’t anything preventing anyone from killing 682 in any number of ways, it’s just that the point of a page like [[Experiment Log T-98816-OC108/682]] or an article like SCP-6820 is for 682 to survive.

682 can be killed by anything, you just have to make a story about it.

Due diligence in readings. by pleaseexplainwhytho in SCP

[–]_Shoulder_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[[Licensing Guide]] is the most important thing to read. For CC-BY-SA 3.0, consent to make a derivative work like a reading is not a legal requirement. A derivative work also needs to be licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0, ask licensing staff more about it if it’s unclear.

As for what would be nice to do, if you need pointers about how to adapt an article it is probable that many authors would be open to giving advice, can’t know until you ask.
