The Death of SCP

[Psychomaster35]

So is voting up for anyone, or just Staff members?

The voting is over, and only thread mods, admins, and bureaucrats were able to vote

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I technically accepted calc group members as well this time.

 

[Antvasima]

Sounds good. I wasn’t sure nether the helmet or the words should be centered, so I’ll try that next

Thank you.

 

[Chritin]

Sorry it took me a bit, but I finished it and uploaded the file

May be the best we can do, I find the colour-change being a bit off center more irritating, but I can live with it as-is.

Yeah, personally I prefer having the words more off center as opposed to the color change (although that might just be apart of the original image).

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you very much for your help. I have added the image to our wiki's front page.

[Mr. Bambu]

Since the new Internet media image was chosen, what else needs to be done here?

Nothing, really, it's just a matter of finalizing the transfer of all SCP files to their new archive wiki. The pages themselves are ported, the images are not.

 

[Catzlaflame]

Or are you guys suggesting a deletion because of its Level of "OP"?

We’d also delete Twin Peaks, Cthulhu Mythos, etc if that were the case. Yet we aren’t.

After all the years of hard work? Deletion isn't the way. What are the systematics to proposing a fiction and it's sources as "Valid" within this site? It's simply "canonicity".

The pages are being preserved.

I really hate pulling this card, but do note that this is a Staff Only Thread, so please ask permission from a Thread Mod or Admin before posting.

 

[GarrixianXD]

What Catzlaflame said.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Oh my... That ain't right. After all the years of hard work? Deletion isn't the way. What are the systematics to proposing a fiction and it's sources as "Valid" within this site? It's simply "canonicity". As long as all fall under being canon then I don't see reasons as to why it should be deleted, damn. I'm just seeing this now. Oh my.

It's been pointed out that you need to have permission from staff to speak on this thread. This is to prevent exactly this sort of unneeded chatter. There is a companion thread floating about if you wish to lament.

That said, I will answer your question by encouraging you to read the OP, as it laid out the reasons for deletion. Oh my, indeed.

 

[Qawsedf234]

So its been a month. Has everything been concluded here or are the pages still being saved?

 

[Psychomaster35]

The pages are still up, apparently

 

[Agnaa]

Last I heard, people were taking their time with moving the images over, rendering the migration incomplete.

Is this the point where we should start considering a deadline to force them to act?

 

[JohnConquest1]

Pages are moved over but the blogs aren't afaik.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Blogs and images aren't.

I've done some of the work, but it seems they are broadly slow to pursue it. It may be necessary, given the length of time since an agreement was reached. Off the cuff, I think two weeks is ample time.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I'd considered the countdown to have begun, given the liking of the message and no further statements on the matter, but I will post it plainly.

The countdown is two weeks from today. SCP people have until July 21st to move all remaining content to the archive forum. I've assisted and will try to assist further, but legwork will be necessary from others.

July 21st, 11:59 PM EST, right? Like, a time clarification might be good

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I don't think that's strictly necessary, but I also don't feel like arguing or nitpicking over minutiae. 11:59 PM EST it is.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I will say, if this is going to be deleted, there should be a rule emphasizing the fact it's been officially banned from the wiki ala Suggsverse

By discussion rules I don't really have sway on this save what I can directly argue, and I really don't know that much about SCP anyhow.

I will return to this facet of the discussion (admittedly late, but it seems appropriate to do this now, to avoid future drama).

Without a rule, this will be approached over and over again. As far as I can foresee, there can be no changes to the context of SCP on this wiki barring an extreme change on their own wiki- a change that is very unlikely to occur, given it would need to adequately address all of our issues. So, I think a specific rule is a good idea.

I'm not great at writing these things, I think, but this is an initial proposal:

SCP Rules

Do not try to add any SCP Foundation profiles to this wiki. It has been discussed here that the verse is inappropriate for our wiki due to issues such as manipulation of statistics. As the threat of this contamination is unlikely to change, any discussion on the subject is disallowed barring some major changes in policy on the SCP Wiki's behalf. Without such major policy changes, discussion regarding additions of SCP Foundation profiles is regarded as a waste of all involved parties' time.

Slap this (or whatever we end up with) into the Discussion Rules, at the bottom of the page, with the other two verses with specific bans on their presence on the wiki.
