I was thinking of saying something about the creepy shit Cy has been saying on Tumblr, but I kinda want to talk about something that's been bothering me about how SCP staff cover up serious offenses in their immediate community.
A while back, a pedophile who frequented SCP IRC chats, including several NSFW and roleplay ones, got banned. He was caught doing a lot of creepy shit to younger girls in the SCP fandom, including minors. Now, to my knowledge, a lot of people know what he did, so he probably has no hope of making a return. But here's the issue: he never got an actual disciplinary thread, despite being a longtime member of the community and a writer. The only hint of him being banned is buried in the chat ban page where the reason given is so vague that it could mean a lot of different things. And I do somewhat understand why they do this: I imagine that they want to maintain their image and discourage people from reaching out to the victims. But for fuck's sake, would it kill you to say that a guy got banned for being a predator? Especially when none of his pages got deleted, and newbies regularly get 15-post-long threads for giving bad critique? What a great way to give legitimate child predators a means to cover up their actions.
