Link to article: Standard Form For Downvotes.
[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] In order to simplify downvoting for common reasons, and to make it feel less personal, I have created: **SCP Foundation Standardized[[footnote]] This is a joke, not standard, and should not actually be used in the Forums. However, all the reasons listed for downvoting things are 100% real. Do not mail this form to the IRS. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. [[/footnote]] Downvote Form 1040-EZ** I am downvoting your SCP because: (check all that apply) [ ] You forgot to spellcheck. [ ] You forgot to proofread. [ ] You did not read, or decided to ignore "How to Write an SCP." [ ] You posted an incomplete SCP to the main site. [ ] Your formatting is incorrect. [ ] You do not know the difference between its/it's; your/you're; there/their/they're. [ ] I am not sure if you know how to write in English. [ ] There is a severe deficiency in clinical tone. [ ] You appear to have accidentally posted an article intended for the Shark Punching Center (SPC). [ ] Self-upvotes are bad form; don't do that. [ ] If you had posted your idea in the Forum, 20 people would have told you not to write it. [ ] If you had posted a draft in your sandbox, 20 people would have told you not to post it on the main site. [ ] Your SCP is too much like SCP-__, and is not written well enough to get away with it. [ ] Your SCP is a straight rip-off of __. [ ] Your SCP is on the Cliche List, and is not written well enough to get away with it. [ ] You need to send your D & D monster/artifact/magic item/cursed magic item back to the Forgotten Realms. [ ] Rape is just not a good SCP topic/effect. [ ] Neither is necrophilia. Your SCP should keep me up at night, but not because I'm wondering when you'll be arrested. [ ] There is no hook. [ ] Meh. [ ] It just didn't grab me; sorry about that. [ ] Your -J isn't funny. [ ] Your -J is really just a bad mainlist SCP. [ ] Your "Keter" SCP is just dangerous, not interesting. [ ] The Description area doesn't describe your SCP. [ ] If your SCP "appears to be" an X, it should not actually be an X. [ ] I had to read half of your SCP before I could figure out what it does. [ ] I read your entire SCP and still don't even know what it IS. [ ] You [REDACTED] part of the containment procedures. [ ] You [REDACTED] an entire incident report. Just because [[[SCP-087]]] did it doesn't mean you should. [ ] You [REDACTED] your main effect. Just because [[[SCP-231]]] did it (more or less) doesn't mean you should. [ ] You [REDACTED] the hook. [ ] You [REDACTED] other things in a way that is silly. [ ] You keep using the word "memetic." I do not think it means what you think it means. [ ] Your SCP compels people to use it for no reason. [ ] Your SCP is just a __ that kills people. [ ] Your SCP is just a __ that makes the user crazy. Or makes them crazy and then kills them. [ ] Your "real life" SCP is less interesting than the real thing that it is based on. [ ] Your SCP is a lame attempt to explain: [ ] Katrina [ ] Fukushima [ ] Tsunami in Indonesia [ ] (some other real-life disaster) [ ] The dialog in the interview log makes all of humanity look like complete morons. [ ] The lack of common sense by all characters portrayed makes me want to light fire to my computer. [ ] Your SCP enters a "rage state" and you were not writing about it visiting New Jersey. [ ] The story of how your SCP was found is unbelievable. [ ] You included writings translated from an ancient language ...that somehow still rhyme in English. [ ] Please remove: -- [ ] the incorrectly-edited title -- [ ] the boring test log -- [ ] the boring supplemental pages -- [ ] the non-metric measurements -- [ ] the lolFoundation addendum -- [ ] the "Tags" that you made up yourself -- [ ] the Telekill reference -- [ ] the crosslink to SCP-173/500/682/914 (circle as appropriate) -- [ ] the random/excessive references to Clef/Bright/Gears/Rights/Kondraki/(insert other misused "canon" character here) -- [ ] the lame joke about sharks and/or bees [ ] Your SCP breaks my suspension of disbelief. Specifically, because of: -- [ ] Incorrect science -- [ ] Technobabble -- [ ] Anachronisms -- [ ] The combat scene that should have "Yakety Sax" playing in the background. -- [ ] an Agent finding the SCP: on his doorstep/in a weird little shop/on the beach while vacationing/(insert ridiculous story here). -- [ ] Other: [ ] Your SCP has a containment area that is: -- [ ] a vastly-oversized cube -- [ ] 2-dimensional -- [ ] 6-dimensional -- [ ] made of titanium (or other inappropriate materials). -- [ ] excessively specific for no reason -- [ ] nonexistent; the SCP is allowed to wander around the site. [ ] The containment procedures make no sense, or are completely inappropriate to what the object does. [ ] Your SCP is only "uncontainable" because you were too lazy to think of something. [ ] Your humanoid SCP is: — [ ] an "X-Man" or super-villain. — [ ] just another D & D monster. — [ ] a bad self-insert/"Mary Sue." — [ ] something really obvious from another medium, in SCP form. Slenderman, this means you. — [ ] using the Foundation like it was a hotel. — [ ] getting what it wants because we wouldn't like it when it's angry. [ ] Your picture is: — [ ] A hand-drawn "artist's impression" of your SCP. — [ ] 27MB, and hosted off-site. — [ ] Something another SCP already uses. — [ ] Completely different from what is described in the text. — [ ] A movie still, or some other well-known thing. — [ ] Watermarked. — [ ] Borked. — [ ] Obviously computer-generated. — [ ] Too photoshopped. — [ ] Not photoshopped enough. — [ ] Not photoshopped at all, but looks photoshopped. > **Staff Notice: Please note, actual use of this form in discussion threads will not be tolerated.**
