The SCP have been running for a good, long while now, and we have accumulated a great deal of excellent, chilling, interesting, and even humorous content. We have also built a community of writers, editors, and lurkers which I am proud to associate with and be a part of.
However, after long deliberation, the staff has decided that the time has come for a review and edit of not just a few entries, but for the entire SCP Series as a whole. We are not going on a rollicking "LOLFAIL!!!1!" deletion-fest of the main list, but rather a honest and unbiased as possible review of our entries. Many will be left alone, many will be brought up for editing, and yes, many may be deleted as well. However, that is not the main focus of this action.
It's been over a year since this site was founded, and a lot has changed in that time. The hoped-for outcome of this action is to help better guide new and existing members of the site, and allow more free numbers for new and better ideas.
With that initial statement made, let me go on to announce the "nuts and bolts" of this action:
- There will be a freeze on all new content for the duration of this action. This is being done in the hopes of encouraging voting, discussion, and editing of current entries, which will be a massive help during the review process. This freeze will be put in place on 9/9/09, and will continue for the duration of the edit. NOTE: Editing will NOT be frozen during this time, only new pages.
- Review will be carried out by a group of Admins and Mods, who will review the list in 100 entry blocks. The hope is to process a couple blocks a week, however one a week may be more realistic. We will attempt to do the edits in as timely a fashion as possible, and we appreciate your patience.
- Decisions will be based both on votes, comments, and the overall weight of the entry. Entry content, however, will be the primary focus.
- Entries that are voted in need of editing will be identified as such in their respective comment sections. Edits will be requested with a set time frame. if no edit is attempted within this time frame, then the entry may be deleted.
A more complete outline will be presented at the start of the edit. Please bring up any questions, concerns, or comments you may have.
