SCP foundation downgrade

...Do you guys know ANYTHING about how the canon works there?

There's no real canon, stories may contradict and differ from each other, and are not canon just because they are uncontradicted.

Foundation Tales are essentialy fanfiction written about the SCP universe, and should not be used as a canon source in any way.
 
So what do you suggest? Should we delete the profiles given that they are dangerously close to fan fiction?
 
You can only work with the amount of information you are given in regards to a character. If there is a concrete proof of text that a character can do a feat, and if there are no other sources that contradict it, we take the feat described as it is.

In SCP's case, his death can destroy an entire timeline. I believe WeeklyBattles made a very good case for this.
 
Did you just ignore what I said?

Stories in SCP Foundation aren't canon just because they are uncontradicted by something else.

I've been on there for years, and I know how the canon works there.
 
Alright. So what do you wish to change, specifically?
 
I think what I just said was a bit of an overreaction, but things from tales shouldn't be stated as fact but as "possibly"
 
Okay. You can change this in the profiles if you wish.
