This all relates to something that happened in summer of 2019. North ran a large SCP server and there was political drama at a few points, which prompted numerous 'inner circle' authors to start haranguing him about his centrist political views until it got extreme. Here's a large screenshot of all the evidence I saved in a folder after he died. It mostly speaks for itself, especially the DMs between North and ProcyonLotor (wiki moderator, name is Corvus here). Most of the screenshots are from the large SCPD Discord server, not to be confused with North's SCP server. Sorry that it's not more cohesive; this seems to be all he'd sent me before he passed.
As you can see, there's clear evidence of the user Rounderhouse partaking in that. On June 15th, these comments were made on Rounderhouse's author page:
Staff turned it into this:
Soulless PM'd Warpstar, appearing to claim that staff didn't know about North's mistreatment:
Warpstar replied with this (referencing some messages that Vandal had apparently received off-wiki):
Soulless replied with this, again insinuating that staff had no knowledge of what was happening:
Obviously staff did know and had dismissed the entire situation, as is confirmed in the Discord screenshots. If that's not damning in and of itself, staff then banned Warpstar and Vandal for "harassment."
(Also, remember that Zakari (the other ban, from May 10) was banned
only after he'd helped expose sexual abuse that staff committed.)
Obviously I'm still processing North's death, so it was tough deciding whether I should be the one to post this. I mostly choose to because on the day he died, he had told me that he decided the SCP wiki is a toxic place:
And because we found out after his death that this had happened prior to it:
North never pestered anyone and he respected other people's opinions to the fullest. He could get along with all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds, he didn't ever want drama, and he was good at minimizing it when it happened. I can't think of a single time he was derogatory to someone or sarcastic; he treated others nicely even when they did not show the same to him. The way staff and the inner circle treated him is cut-and-dry political bias which has now reached an extreme point.
To be clear, we (our group of friends from his server) don't blame an individual or a group for his death. However, there was not only one factor relating to a separate offline event, as certain people in the community have claimed. Suicide is a choice, but it is a choice influenced by
multiple factors. The SCP wiki was a large part of his life, and it became a negative part of it at a time when he needed a place to feel welcome. He was only 19. I feel like it sets a person up for social failure to join the SCP community while also taking its purported inclusivity at face value; it's
not inclusive and they do
not 'accept' or even
tolerate many types of people.
(Edited to add: Rounderhouse is apparently 17, so emphasis on the community aspect above anything else.)
Regardless of the emotional side, people just need to understand that SCP staff don't have limits on what they'll lie about; it doesn't stop at covering up grooming and psychological abuse. They just lied about a suicide victim's harassment case because they know he's not alive to defend himself, which is a different type of nuts. They make and break their own rules whenever and however they feel like it. They will not change morally, they will only change their approach and keep their goals.
