Sadly a page's discussion thread is deleted when the page itself is deleted. I'll see what I can do with digging through the spin off sights.

PresidentBeard posted:If I remember correctly the SCP foundation page being added to TvTropes led to a bunch of tropers flocking there, and making terrible entries that were fairly quickly deleted. They then whined about how unfair it was and joined one of the no deletion SCP spinoffs. I wonder what they wrote about the SCP that's a little girl and MUST BE RAPED OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN? (jesus loving christ why doesn't that site delete that article yet)

See, you said it was about rape, that means you must want it to be about rape and furthermore  No seriously. That was the author's response to being called out on it. That it wasn't about rape, and if you said it was it was because you wanted it to be.

It's a procedure that specifically requires convicted sex offenders, but it's totally not rape you guys. I actually don't think that article is entirely bad - the basic concept of "The horror is meant to be in how far the foundation is willing to go" works. It's just that it leans a bit heavily on implying the procedure as being "constant horrible rape" rather than something more vague. It's also massively overexposed on the site - "Procedure 110-Montauk" is kind of a meme there, and memes are a pretty good way to ruin something (just like the "here's all the ways we've failed to kill 682" article). Dr. Killjoy posted:I wonder what they wrote about the SCP that's a little girl and MUST BE RAPED OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN? Oddly enough they don't actually say a whole lot about it other than the usual "It's so scary and disturbing you guys!" that pretty much every trope listed on the SCP page has.

Funny how they deleted all the obvious loving self-insert anime characters (OMG THE BIBLICAL ABEL EXCEPT HE'S A BADASS SWORDSMAN WHO BY HIS WRITTEN DESCRIPTION LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A BLAZBLUE CHARACTER AND WIELDS A HUGE SWORD AND IS UNKILLABLE AND INVINCIBLE AND RESPECTS ONLY STRENGTH AND STRONG WARRIORS and a researcher literally called CROW DARK NASTY or something stupid like that). Shame they still have that lovely montauk procedure thing.

Also they give her memory erasing drugs sometimes. It's gross and awful and completely encompasses everything wrong with the website.

Anticheese posted:What is the procedure, for those of us who don't want to touch the poop? It's not specified, but described as essentially being "The most traumatic thing we can possibly do to this woman, repeated on a daily basis". Heavily implied to at least feature rape as a prominent component. This is the actual article, you might as well just read it, it's not actually something horrible like Fluffy Pony or something, it's just basic horror fiction. It's essentially "We have to do this horrible thing constantly or THE WORLD WILL END (maybe)". Now that I think about it there's actually a lot of articles on SCP that kind of follow that pattern, and this one is probably what inspired them. Another one requires baby sacrifices to be willingly performed by the child's mother in order to prevent natural disasters. It's all really contrived.

The site admins really hate to delete old articles, so there's a lot of poo poo from the old days that they continue to tolerate. Even they're unhappy about Procedure 110-Montauk. The canon explanation for that now is that there is no SCP 231-7, and the article is a loyalty test. Any researcher who gains the clearance level to read that article and decides to save SCP 231-7 is shot. The site culture of the SCP foundation has dealt with a lot of broken people over the years, and usually handled them poorly.

The site culture of the SCP foundation has dealt with a lot of broken people over the years, and usually handled them poorly. A lot of poo poo that would most likely be deleted if it were new ends up being kind of grandfathered in just because they've become too well known and referenced in too many places to get rid of easily. It's why Able is still on there despite it being the perfect example of what not to write when you're trying to make horror. It's pretty similar to some of the stuff on tvtropes in that regard. Sometimes it's easier to just say "look, we know this is poo poo, don't use it as a metric for writing your own stuff" than it is to clean up all the cross-references between things, plus the inevitable complaints from the people that hate change.

SCP Foundation is a pretty good example of why the wiki model shouldn't mix with fiction, because you have some genuinely good writing in there tied down by being associated with dumb garbage bullshit and terrible idiotic stories clinging to the wiki because it's become entrenched in the bullshit metafiction.

sweeperbravo posted:Could you please summarize for me what it is, because I'm too apprehensive to google or go to the actual site? A wiki cataloging a bunch of things that are supernaturally dangerous, all held (more or less) by a shadowy organization that protects humanity from the dangers posed by these items. Each entry is supposed to be the containment procedures and descriptions for one of these things, which range from items to people to monsters. It's the place where the Holy Grail gets taken at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or it's X-Files, or it's pretty much exactly Warehouse 13 if Warehouse 13 replaced most of its comedy with horror. That said, some of the more goofy ones are the more enjoyable ones. Look up the experiment logs for the interdimensional vending machine and the machine that takes any material and makes it 'coarse' or 'fine', I remember those were pretty enjoyable.

I'm just going to quote the OP from the SCP thread over here.DeusExMachinima posted:For those not in know, the SCP Foundation (SCP stands for "Secure Contain Protect") is what you'd get if you crossed the X-Files with CSI, with the same level of investigative competence. It all got started as a one-off joke on 4chan's paranormal /x/ boards with an unusual copypasta. If that article reads suspiciously close to a Weeping Angel from Doctor Who, consider that it began to show up shortly after the first Weeping Angel episode aired in 2007.

There was one about an AI on datatapes that could only remember the last 10 minutes because of its limited ram, until it talked to this other anomalous dudething and from then on it would ask to talk to that guy when it was turned on. That one was pretty good Then I read another one about this zone zone that gives everything 'personhood', not like things talk, you just get the sense that everything is a person while you are in it, or something like that. That's when I stopped reading entries.

On a similar note, the stack of DVDs with pre-recorded responses to all conversations was pretty fun. Basically, when researchers play a given DVD for the first time, the man on screen responds politely to all questions but doesn't know much more about the situation than the researchers do. From all testing, all of the DVDs are completely pre-recorded- rewatching shows exactly the same thing as the first watch showed. The primary researcher assumes it's some sort of elaborate temporally-displaced prank.

Actually they've wiped out or heavily edited a lot of the stories that had been heavily tied into other articles a while back, particularly the Magic Blocks Any Mental Effects Metal thing and the Guy Who's Totally a Regenerating Warrior Badass. I don't remember the names or numbers of them but both used to be referenced in every article that could tangentially involve them. It also barely uses the wiki model really, due to how you can't freely edit any story articles you didn't write yourself.

There is a thread somewhere on PYF about the SCP foundation too.
