Hi, I'm a new user, but I've been lurking (without an account) for a few years now. Reading a few SCP articles in relatively quick succession (
Decibelles' ...Like Clockwork series,
Ori's Proposal,
Eastward of Eden, and
altoid-clef, with a few in between) finally encouraged me to start taking my life into my own hands - and one of the ways I'm doing that is joining this site. I was planning on making my first post a CRT for said verse, but, well,
you know what's going on. So, instead, I came to ask permission to comment on the referenced thread, and I guess congratulate you for the work you've done on the wiki - not just you, of course.
Reasoning for commenting on said the thread (do I need this part? I'm adding it anyway): Who is He? was
deleted - as Bambu points out it's AI generated; and
such content is banned on that wiki. A Journey Through the Afterlife was also
deleted, but I don't know why - it's not showing up on the
deletions thread, unless I'm being an idiot. The deletions thread also serves as a good counterexample for those who claim there's no oversight or whatever - it was only created on the 18th of March, but it has 8 pages full of deletions. BAROQUE was
clearly written - at least in part - to demonstrate that
the Department of Unreality was not, in fact, Tier 0. And indeed, it shouldn't be;
WOG states that SCP-7909 - the article that makes the Department big 0 - was intended to take place in a different continuity from "regular" Unreality. As such, it is not featured on the
Unreality hub, which only houses
articles consistent with each other - thus, if by some miracle SCP stuff doesn't get removed we should probably only use articles on that hub. Consider it from Fishish's perspective; some guy writes an article that
goes against the core concepts of the Department you helped create - it
explains unreality, and gives the Dept. members (other than Alex). (Remember the Department's members don't exist -
so they aren't there.) Then another guy starts asking
how powerful Alex is - whilst completely misunderstanding Alex and Unreality. Then you discover - either via simply searching for the Department of Unreality on some web browser, investigating why this guy was interested in how powerful Alex Thorley was, or something else - that some other guys had made
this thing, claiming that Unreality was this really powerful thing - because of that first guy's article - whilst
misnaming Alex, and depending on when Fishish read it,
misgendering Alex too. With this in mind a reaction like
BAROQUE makes perfect sense, at least to me. I have a lot more to say on this matter, but since I've only slept like 6 hours in the past 3 days, I'm really f-ing tired, so night night, I guess.
