Keter Duty Cleanup List

Pig_catapult 17 Feb 2012 06:54

Frankly, there's a lot of otherwise good articles that are marred by threats of "Keter Duty", "SCP-682 duty", or other such punishments for misusing an SCP in one way or another, because apparently Foundation researchers have all the professionalism of a pack of rabid monkeys (Bright gets a pass in cases where he is, in fact, one or more rabid monkeys).

So this thread is dedicated to two things:

1) Compiling a list of articles with this problem.

2) Fixing the problem.

I've started a list, but I need to let my chinchilla out to play before she starts taking a leaf out of the rabid monkeys' book. Here's what I've got so far:

~EDIT~ Removing these fromthe list as they're fixed

SCP-827
1. "Trust me, whoever let THAT particular SCP know about SCP-827 is going on immediate Keter duty. -O5-██"
2. "That's the final straw. Hence forth any submitted research proposal must have as a goal the investigation of the safety and immediate commercialization of this technology. Any proposal not of major strategic importance (i.e. neutralization of Keter-class objects) for use of SCP-class resources will be denied, and the submitter will be assigned to Keter duty. -O5-██"

~EDIT2~
Leaving 827 alone until we get word from Snorl on it.

Going through the list by hand now and just listing ones that catch my eye here re: possible overkill. Not all are going to necessarily need the cited portions removed, but I want to put them out there. This is going to take a while, though.

SCP-005, the Skeleton Key

Removal of the object from the compound will result in immediate termination.

This is a really old article and it's a huge security risk, but this really doesn't jive with the otherwise surprisingly lax security. "Oh, you lost your pass? Sure, you can use the skelly key. Just don't take it outside, or we shoot you."

(Note to self: left off at 013)

My recommendation: Edit down this -

SCP-005 may be used as a replacement for lost security passes, but only under the supervision of at least one (1) Level 4 personnel. SCP-005 may not be used for vending machine repairs, opening lockers, or for any personnel's spare home key. Removal of the object from the compound will result in immediate termination.

To this -

SCP-005 may be used only under the supervision of at least one (1) Level 4 personnel. Removal of the object from the compound will result in immediate termination.

List compiled. http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/search:site/q/%22keter%20duty%22

However, there are a few places where Keter Duty doesn't detract from the article (mostly tales and Joke SCPs).

Thank you. We'll still need to track down the ones that don't use the exact words "Keter Duty", but this is going to help a lot.

~EDIT~

Alright! The easy part's done. :3

Now to hunt down the rest.

Fun fact: SCP-113 contains, to this day, one of the first two references to Keter duty ever made on this site.

(It's not possible to tell which is first, because it was actually done on the old wiki and the wayback machine didn't capture everything, but the other candidate - the former SCP-983, "midas finger" - is long gone. But 113 could well have been the first. And both these examples were edited in after the fact and weren't present in the original, funnily enough…)

A few that I've found:

SCP-786 contains a threat of termination against people who misuse the object.

SCP-283 has a note warning that people using it as a paperweight will be dealt with severely.

These ones aren't exactly 'Keter Duty' warnings, but they do have 'lolfoundation' notes at the end:

SCP-038] warns against people using it to replicate random items.

SCP-041 references people using it innapropriately and a rant from Dr. Klein about it.

SCP-500 mentions tightening of security measures because someone tried to use it as a hangover cure.

SCP-756 includes a threat to reassign people to paperwork if they place glow-in-the-dark stars in the containment area.

I would personally leave it for the pills and tree, because I'm sure those things all have happened often enough to warrant warnings. I'd ask to edit 500's warning to be a bit less glib, but yeah.
