 Ahoy-hoy and welcome to the channel. I'm dr. Sumerian not a real doctor and if you can believe it The dr. Bright thing was only the second most serious piece of sight Drama is the only new I want to call it news, but it's not really news is just people doing stuff to each other it's you know It is news, but it's only news because it's drama and that's unfortunate that I have Talk about it, but it is important. I think that the average viewer understand what's going on on the wiki Anyway today, we're going to talk a little bit not a lot about a user called city toast the former head of the SCP Licensing department now the licensing department is something I have personal experience with also a personal experience with very bad captains of that team One was super inactive one was super active, but never did it almost did nothing ever to add to the licensing I was just angry at people all the time and And this speaking of somebody who was like in the department under this person and having to basically do almost all Of the work for them, but that's neither here nor there So maybe maybe licensing is just a very stressful job that ends up with people burned out and Leaving to you know cause problems But what happened was the SCP wiki's licensing department had Got challenged on qualifications in IRC IRC and discord specifically and didn't take it well and started being extremely hostile to the person who was questioning their qualifications and And Said some very unfortunate things that got them In in a bit of trouble, but in that conversation the person who was doing the primary questioning of their qualifications Straight up accused them of being a liar and possibly not even a real Legal expert Again, I will absolutely not be Commenting on the veracity of any claims as to someone's qualifications mainly because we're talking about people who are either Lawyers or lawyer adjacent and I don't really need that kind of problem. I don't need that hat kind of hassle But the interesting part the worst part is is that this licensing captain Apparently and I'm not going to speak to the veracity of this claim But it is something that was claimed by this person got fired from their job over it apparently someone Called up their place of employment to put in a anonymous complaint that they were representing They were basically practicing law without a license at for the SCP wiki And I don't know how valid or invalid that claim was but their employer because they were still under a probationary period At the start of their employment just decided well You're fired. It's a bit more complicated than that, but that's what happened So we have someone who at least claims that they lost a real-life legal job at a firm Based on their activity on the SCP wiki. So Yeah, and you know ended up getting Removed from their captainship over the way they behaved during the conversation that led to that action It's a hole in my it's it's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen ripple out from the SCP Foundation, but not entirely unexpected The thing is I've actually had some criticisms of the way City toes tended to handle licensing issues because there was a strong a Strong preference towards the legal minimum of what you needed to do instead of what I prefer to call the moral maximum of what you should do in Discussing policy like we do this because it's the legal minimum or it's creative There was some talk about like like the creative commons license Compels you to do this and compels you to the that that are not at all in the licensing at all And this is coming from someone who's supposedly and again I will make no claims with regards to the veracity of this person's qualifications But who had supposedly become an expert? Release as much of an expert as a average person can be on the creative commons license And was just saying things that almost certainly are untrue. I am not that person I don't have those qualifications. So I've never felt comfortable calling this out before now, but Given some of the circumstances like it just doesn't make any sense And this is the person I know and you know what a lot of people are gonna say look at them Look at this. We had a moderator leave and Delete like just straight up do an abusive power and delete a cut piece of content They didn't like we had another moderate. I know I believe yet another moderator at least a team captain leave In disgrace and get fired from their job based on how badly fired from the wiki You might begin to suspect that the scp wiki has a problem of Personnel And you know, then of course, there's dr. Bright out former administrator who did some extremely terrible things And you'll notice I stopped laughing when I talk about that the thing is The scp wiki doesn't have like a particular problem with this Any large organization is gonna have these issues as they go along especially especially and that's it's gonna happen in This is gonna happen in organizations where everyone's getting paid But in an organization where everyone is volunteers like come on It's gonna happen over and over and over again. It will never stop And it would be nice if it would and I'm sure that the people in the scp wiki who are trying to run it Would like it if everyone could act with professionalism, but they are literally not professionals So while you can and should expect it You can and also should expect that they won't that's just how it is Anyway, that said, I wanted to go over this just so you just so that the audience could remain informed as to the goings on On the wiki. This was actually I Don't know if it was a bigger deal. I think it's a bigger deal in the sense that The after effects of this licensing snafu and city toasts Interpretation of how licensing should be handled Could legitimately be more damaging to the wiki in the long term than the removal of the bright list Or the remaining of the bright list. I think the bright list and that is more of a moral Question for the scp wiki and that can lead to consequences later fuck ups in licensing are Existential threats to the scp wiki It's not gonna people aren't going to you know cancel the scp wiki over a licensing thing They're going to sue the scp wiki and the scp wiki is going to have to shut down licensing is the most it it's the least liked the least The least liked probably the least the one where the least qualified to handle as an organ as an organization or a community and also the most critically important department like So important to the health of the app scp wiki I could reiterate that a dozen times and I've already reiterated it two or three times at this point That's that's that I'll leave it there.
