January 2022 Recap http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-14534848/january-2022-recap Posts in the discussion thread "January 2022 Recap" - Truth... is a funny thing. Does it live in the world... or in the mind? Is it constant... or can it be bent? Who decides what is true, in this universe of Light and Dark? There is no greater power. Tell me, little Lights... what is your truth now? Tue, 06 Aug 2024 20:19:59 +0000 http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-14534848#post-5217081 January 2022 Recap http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-14534848/january-2022-recap#post-5217081 Thu, 24 Feb 2022 18:08:18 +0000 pr0m37h3um 3628082 NOTE: Recap are a team who log and report discussions that occur on the Discord Staffchat of the -EN branch of the SCP Wiki. We make a note of all conversations that occur across over the month, identify those that are of interest to the site’s usebase at large, and provide recaps / summaries of these discussions. Each recap has gone through three review stages: the Recap team signs off on one-another’s recaps, then we show it to the Admins and Captains on Staff, then we show it to the rest of staff. We endeavor to provide recaps that are readable, comprehensive, but not a slog to get through. Sometimes that’s easy, sometimes… not so much. If you’re having trouble with understanding what’s going on in any of the recaps, if you want any further information, or anything like that, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with a member of the Recap team to have a chat, or to comment feedback below!

Topic: JakdragonX Joins Staff | 2022/01/08

Recap: Pr0m37h3um gives notice that they have officially brought JakdragonX onto recap team and will be inviting him into staffchat. As part of this process, pr0m37h3um asks to be given an active invitation and spawns a short discussion about keeping an active invite available at all times to save time for team captains who do a lot of recruitment. Ideas are discussed of giving captains invite permissions, keeping a rolling invite in the madcap channel, and pinning a permanent invite into a staff-public channel. This conversation stops abruptly when everyone is reminded that JakdragonX still needs an invite. JakdragonX then joins staffchat officially to a weird welcome of people talking about sausage (which is requested be specifically recapped).

This interaction took five minutes.

Topic: Random Art Page | 2022/01/09

Recap: EstrellaYoshte is preparing to add a Random Art Page button to the wiki sidebar. They note that there are "no technical problems with this" and ask if they should go ahead and implement it. UncertaintyCrossing cannot grant permission but thinks "it's a wonderful idea." Estrella heads off to the Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Team to finalize, as this is a navigation issue. HarryBlank notes for posterity that LemonBee's suggestion of this button was in the December recap; staff did not pick up the idea, but a user in the SCP Declassified Discord saw the recap of the non-starter and asked about it, which attracted Estrella, resulting in the implementation. Quoth LemonBee: "Hell yeah."

The button is added after a brief discussion between Estrella and UncertaintyCrossing. Everyone is in awe at how quick and easy that was.

This discussion took approximately two hours, one hour at a time.

Topic: Frontpage Bulletin | 2022/01/09

Recap: OptimisticLucio asks: "Did anything special happen in the last two~ weeks that we can put on the frontpage bulletin?" EstrellaYoshte has a promising candidate: "I ate teriyaki chicken yesterday"; "Was pretty good." Lucio thinks this is sufficient, and prepares to post a congratulatory notice. Vivarium has a much less important suggestion: the annual Art Exchange for December. Lucio notes that this was already covered. "Hmm," Vivarium muses. "Slow 2 weeks." Estrella again has a suggestion: "we can mention wikidot making changes that screwed over half the wiki." Vivarium has a better idea: "Actually, we could announce the Karma thing and sadden the entire userbase." Lucio notes that we should, in fact, probably mention that outside of just including it in the December Recap. gee0765 agrees, and Vivarium clarifies that he did mean it seriously. He suggests making an announcement. ManyMeats feels said announcement would be under the purview of the Tech Team. No such announcement was made before Recap reached review.

This discussion took less than one hour.

InactiveStaff

Topic: Discussion of Inactive Staff Leading up to the Promotion Cycle | 2022/01/09

Recap: Vivarium interrupts the end of the discussion about SCP NFTs to suggest that staff “revisit the conversation about our inactive staff members” prior to the upcoming promotions cycle since two staff members5 have been absent from staff work and discussions in months. Vivarium notes that this needs to be addressed to prevent postponing the discussion. He wants people to know who's been put up for promotions, and their worth. Vivarium suggests that an administrator send a message to the staff members, requiring that they join a team within the next two weeks, or else be removed from staff, as this "needs to be done before promos". Limeyy and Vivarium discuss how one of the two inactive staffers was supposed to reach out a month ago, but hasn't. Siddartha Alonne suggests that the staff member in question should "acknowledge you have no time to be staff and step down” and Optimistic Lucio suggests that, in the case that they do respond, they should be put on a “stricter leash regarding activity levels.” Vivarium explains that this would depend on if a team would be willing to take them and indicates that MAST would not. A brief discussion occurs between Lucio and Vivarium about if it is worth giving them another chance which ends with Vivarium stating that “I'm not a fan of inactive people hopping teams until we finally decide enough is enough. If you do no work, you don't get the privileges that come with being staff.” The conversation ends abruptly with the resolution being a request that DrBleep ferry the request to the admins to deal with.

This conversation took place over 1 hour.

Topic: Site News Status | 2022/01/10

Recap: stormfallen asks: "So uh, what's up with site news? Is September still being worked on?" Naepic states that it is "on hold" until the Community Outreach Team "figures it out." Siddartha Alonne ports a message from WhiteGuard:

hey all. This was likely becoming apparent already, but with our tendency to get quite behind and my new appointment, I am going to be putting Site News on hold until it is reworked to where we can release them faster without having issues of getting sections complete in time. Thank you for all of your hard work so far. The future news should still be similar to our current product, but we are going to review ways to help it in the future.

stormfallen responds: "Aight."

This discussion took approximately seven minutes.

Topic: Login Glitch | 2021/01/11

Recap: aismallard asks whether there have been any complaints about not being logged in when on the main site (such as on a sandbox, or viewing 05command). She also requests that staff keep an eye on these reports, as they should become more frequent. Conwell has received no complaints, but notes that non-staff are largely unaware of his existence until "they get a pm from me telling them their coldpost got deleted." Athenodora has forwarded the message to IRC operators, promising that "We'll be keeping an eye out."

This discussion took place over the course of three minutes.

Topic: SCP Classic and Productivity Software | 2022/01/11

Recap: OptimisticLucio cites a recent discussion about -ARC articles where some staff users support moving them to the unofficial SCP Classic website. He asks if there's an official statement on the status of SCP Classic, and what it might be. Roundabouts instead replies that they also support moving things to SCP Classic. DrBleep notes: "right now Moose is the only active staffer currently with administrative access to SCP Classic. We're working on getting more people on there, but any motion to do stuff with classic is going to be dependent on getting more staff as a whole established in appropriate roles on the site." Vivarium was confused by Roundabouts' post, causing him to miss Lucio's due to the fact that he's multitasking. Estrella asks him if he uses productivity software, neatly segueing the conversation.

DrBleep remembers the creation of an official staff Jira board, and pings aismallard. Lucio links the #staff-resources channel, and notes that the Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Team also has a Jira board. He offers to show Vivarium how to use it. Bleep prepares to make use of the Jira. Lucio doesn't think MAST needs its own board, though it already has one; he thinks the duplication might be a problem. Bleep thinks the duplication is good, and Vivarium agrees as MAST has a lot of plates in the air. Vivarium muses on MAST's Jira: "a good idea and reason why having a dedicated MAST jira is that we can instead tag the roles with different section tags that way MAST members can at a glance see what their teams need to accomplish."

This discussion took place over approximately one hour.

Crickets.

OptimisticLucio asks a related question nearly three hours later: "Redoing the newbie guide ATM, and I’d like the section for new writers to be handled by someone who’s somewhat experienced in the area." Zyn offers to help, and asks for guidance on what's wanted. She suggests taking the "teach a man to fish" approach, as "a lot of what I've been seeing in the recommendations thread is better addressed with "ask in Questions desk" or "Google the forums" or "look at these resources, ctrl+f if you like" rather than walls of text specifics." Lucio will DM her with information. sketchythoughts also offers to help, and will also be DM'd.

This discussion took place over approximately five hours, with a three hour gap at the start.

Topic: Karma Announcement | 2022/01/15

Recap: EstrellaYoshte asks: "can we announce on front page news that karma machine broke." They also suggest a possible statement from the Tech Team on the forums. OptimisticLucio suggests: "Probably better a forum announcement that’s linked on the FP, because you won’t be able to fit the whole explanation there, and people would want to discuss it." Alexander suggests a link in the news module, and Lucio agrees: "Post on the Announcements forum, put a TL;DR on the front page news module." Athenodora asks whether the site FAQ mentions karma; it does not.

OnlyFansLinks

Topic: Questions about OnlyFans links | 2020/01/16

Recap: A staff member8 follows up on the discussion about art and text plagiarism by asking whether linking an OnlyFans page on one's author page would be acceptable under the Donations Policy. This question prompts confusion, and worries that the staffer's intent is to spawn another “banning presidents discussion.” UncertaintyCrossing suggests that the resolution would probably be flagging the link as leading to nsfw content and putting an adult splash on the author page itself. GremlinGroup then identifies that a similar discussion already occurred in December and links the question-positer to read the corresponding recap (Recap of Offsite Links Discussion). The staff member interprets this to mean that a link to OnlyFans would be permissible with an NSFW warning, as well as stating the cost/payment required to access the page, and GremlinGroup states that they are “not certain that's the non-conclusion that was reached.” The staff member claims that they agree with GremlinGroup since no conclusion was reached, but if they had, they would assume the rules would follow typical donation rules, and adult content rules.

Pedagon tells the staff member that he would not assume those rules until a non-hypothetical discussion has occurred. He recommends that, should this be something someone wants to do, "an actual serious discussion around the NSFW/donations/advertising policy will need to occur without the guise of humour" and without being stuck in hypotheticals. He doesn't believe it's "smart to just make the claim that these would be our policy just from two short nonsense discussions.” Pedagon then expands on his point, saying that if the staff member is aware of anyone who wants to link their OnyFans page, it should be discussed seriously, but until then the suggestion comes across as a "nonsense joke". The staff member states that it is not a joke and they "half" want to do this themself. Pedagon responds to this by advising them to “please prompt a real discussion on O5 to discuss this instead of approaching it as a hypothetical or it will continue to be treated as a joke along the lines of banning presidents.”

This discussion took place over 30 minutes.

Topic: Image Archival | 2022/01/18 - 2022/01/24

Recap: Naepic plans to start an 05command/mainsite mirror discussion about "encouraging users to web archive their image sources" in order to prevent people "retracting" the Creative Commons license retroactively (which is not actually something they're allowed to do) and making images unusable. He does not intend this to be compulsory, merely advice for best practices which will be provided to authors via PM. He asks if there are concerns; Edna Granbo and GremlinGroup express approval. Several days later Naepic posts an announcement with a link to the promised 05command discussion: here.

Topic: Charged Language in Staffchat (1) | 2022/01/18

Recap: Multiple staff members are discussing disciplinary record-keeping for two different users, and Pedagon takes issue with the use of charged language by Edna Granbo and Roundabout to describe the behaviour: "it is just making me quite uncomfortable to be talking about a user like this after there has been so much work on improving how we talk about people in official staff-work spaces." Roundabout responds: "But, it is true. The user has been insulting other people pretty often, so that's just the first way I could describe their behavior." OptimisticLucio agrees, but also agrees with Pedagon that "throwing comments like that on users is what got us into the previously toxic mindset we had in chat." He notes both "normally agressive and passive agressive comments" are being made. Pedagon responds directly to Roundabout: "The first way is often not the best or proper way and this is a professional space to talk about things facing the site." Edna and Roundabout agree.

This discussion took approximately two hours.

Topic: Adult Content Policy | 2022/01/23

Recap: Croquembouche has a question from the Japanese branch: "do we have a definition anywhere of what adult content (i.e. requiring a splash page) actually is?" EstrellaYoshte responds that case-by-case consensus is the method, and adds that staff is presently "establishing an adultery team to handle it." hungrypossum remarks on the high quality of that turn of phrase. GremlinGroup elaborates that the new team "will define, categorise, and otherwise maintain the existence/application of adult splashes." Croquembouche promises to pass the information on. LilyFlower and Siddartha Alonne briefly discuss the need for splash pages, and the progress of the ongoing minimum age raising.

Recap: Siddartha Alonne asks whether -EN should have a representative to -INT's International Press Agency to "give our news to other branches."10 He doesn't feel anyone presently fills this role, and notes that he, WhiteGuard and ROUNDERHOUSE are in the relevant Discord server. Optimistic Lucio thinks we "Probably should; would help with the whole "-EN and Everyone Else™️" mentality," but he suggests that the Ambassador Team should be deciding this internally. Siddartha suggests Community Outreach should also be involved. UncertaintyCrossing notes that "our site news is on hiatus" but still feels someone from Site News should also comment on this. WhiteGuard notes that "Site News is about to take on a Press Release format than the standard monthly basis, so this is something we could easily do."

This discussion took approximately five and one-half hours.

Topic: Wikijump Link | 2022/01/23

Recap: Hexick asks for the link to the Wikijump Discord server. Cassandra Prime provides it, noting her belief that this is acceptable practice in staffchat. Optimistic Lucio assures her that it is. aismallard clarifies: "You can send it in DMs but don't post it somewhere public or permanent please." Cassandra acknowledges this, and suggests that "you may want to clarify that under information on the Wikijump server, since I may not be the only one not to have been too sure about that."

This discussion took approximately three and one-half hours.

Topic: Advertising Game Server on Forums | 2022/01/24

Recap: Roundabout has found a user advertising their fan Minecraft server on the forums, and asks if this is allowed. LilyFlower asks not to be quoted on her response, which is "Not usually without asking." Siddartha Alonne notes the user supposedly had permission to make their advertisement on -INT. Jerden states: "This feels like the kind of thing that should be allowed in the Games and Hobbies forum IMO." (And that's where the post is.) Ethagon agrees. Roundabout asks Siddartha: "Did you ask about whoever gave them permission?" Siddartha says permission was given by a Master Admin, leading the user to believe posting again without asking would be fine. Roundabout replies: "I'm sure most of them haven't logged in Wikidot for days." Siddartha replies: "What." Roundabout meant the Master Admins. Siddartha is not less confused: "Wdym they haven't logged?" Roundabout responds: "I don't think they're really active." Siddartha offers the assurance that they are. Assistant Null, a subreddit moderator, asks if the thread still being up means advertising on the reddit is also okay — they're being asked as well. If she gets a response, it's not in staffchat.

This discussion took place over less than four hours.

Topic: Unused Files on the Wiki | 2022/01/24

Recap: Siddartha Alonne has discovered an unused file in an article's filespace, and asks if this is "normal." aismallard replies: "It may be a licensing thing, the file is kept but not on the page if it's not compliant until it's replaced." She doesn't think this seems to be the case, on reflection, but suggests asking the Licensing Team. EstrellaYoshte mentions that this is relatively common across the wiki. aismallard clarifies that Siddartha is asking about this page specifically. Roundabout mentions that this is relatively common across the wiki.

This discussion took place sporadically over more than two hours.

Topic: ProcyonLotor: -INT Ambassador? | 2022/01/26

Recap: Siddartha Alonne notes that ProcyonLotor is still marked as an ambassador despite leaving the -INT Discord. OptimisticLucio asks if this is an 05command updating issue. Siddartha has asked the Internet Outreach Team if they could find out whether ProcyonLotor is, in fact, still an ambassador as Siddartha has seen no message from him either way. No resolution on this matter is posted to Staffchat.

This discussion took place over four and one half-hours.

During AdCap review, LadyKatie clarified that ProcyonLotor was present in the server for licensing queries, and was given this role as it was the closest approximator of the permissions he needed in the server. She also noted that the role would be removed soon.

During General Review, LadyKatie noted that ProcyonLotor had left the -INT server, and thus had no roles to be removed. During this review, stormfallen checked whether ProcyonLotor should be listed as an Ambassador. LadyKatie confirmed that he should be removed from that page.

Topic: Charged Language in Staffchat 3 | 2022/01/30

Recap: Multiple staff members are discussing disciplinary record-keeping for a user, and Pedagon takes issue with the use of charged language by Edna Granbo and HarryBlank to describe the behaviour. He addresses them separately. He asks Edna to avoid personal attacks and mockery, noting that "There are many other ways to say the exact same message without crossing lines." He tells Harry not to make broad claims without providing evidence, and notes that evidence should be provided to the Disciplinary Team instead of staffchat. Harry is "certainly aware" that his statements seemed excessive, though he claims to have extensive evidence which he will provide to the Disciplinary Team when appropriate. He acknowledges that "I have not phrased my concerns in the most sanitized way possible" and does "agree that we don't need to use charged language to express these concerns; the evidence is damning enough when phrased pseudoclinically." Edna does not respond before Recap reaches review.

This discussion took approximately two and one-half hours.

Recap: LemonBee notes that adult splash pages appear in the new pages feed on mobile view and asks if they could stop doing that, since the list therefore shows both splash page and real page. aismallard fixes the issue, explaining that it was caused by mobile view having only one list of articles, which lacked the selectivity of the ones on desktop view.

This discussion took approximately one half hour.

Topic: Discussion of Recap’s role in discussing Disc Cases | 2020/01/30

Summary: Recap team are requested to cover the discussion of a single user’s actions with regard to disciplinary response. Recap members suggest that they are able to cover it if it’s mentioned in Staffchat, but that this is primarily the responsibility of the Disciplinary team, and doing so would require anonymization of the user in most cases.
