Chapter 209: Civilization is a Game
Not only has the way of submission changed, but Guan Li also made the system put those existing articles such as "writing guides" and "common code" in a very prominent position.
You can see it as soon as you enter the homepage.
Of course, for some people, this is not very useful.
They dare to rush with the most basic file format and a flash of inspiration.
It doesn't matter what style of writing requires what behind-the-scenes setting and so on, passion can do everything!
Guan Li didn't have any ill feelings towards them.
Newcomers, they don't understand anything, the only advantage is that they are bold, and many people have this stage.
As long as they can learn and get an education, they will also become part of the foundation.
And those low-end creators who maliciously play memes, vent wantonly, and have no innovation, just sweep the floor and go out, and it is very simple to deal with.
The real trouble is some people with ulterior motives: those who want to use the SCP Foundation as a springboard, those who want to engage in copyright manipulation, and even those who seriously write articles and secretly mix private goods in an attempt to cause racial discrimination, regional discrimination, and all kinds of discrimination.
This kind of author has appeared in previous submissions, and there will only be more in the future.
There is no official block for them, and readers can only face this "malice" head-on.
It is foreseeable that the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping will be inevitable at that time, and the round battles in the forum are inevitable.
Thinking about the scene that would most likely appear, Guan Li pulled the system over, "Once there is a sign of war in the forum, you remind me to come and watch...... Prepare for mediation, and take screenshots by the way to retain all evidence involving cause and effect in case you need it. β
System: "I am the legendary automatic melon eating machine?" 24-hour full-time melon delivery person?
"Ahem, the main thing is that it's going to happen and we have to be there right away to get the first opportunity. β
In the final analysis, there are many disadvantages of open creation, and the "UP/DOWN" mechanism cannot guarantee the fairness of each scorer, and it is extremely unstable to bet the maintenance of the entire community on the consciousness of individuals.
But this is the Foundation.
A network miracle that is still developed on the basis of the CC protocol, which is almost a "gentleman's agreement".
It's a utopia of the information age.
As such a mass innovation project, what is the core of "SCP Foundation"?
Or rather......
What's the most important thing about it?
Guan Li doesn't know what other people think, but in his opinion, the most important thing is not the specific setting and accumulated creativity, but the spirit of the authors to constantly go beyond the past and explore more possibilities.
ββThe spirit of the Foundation, born only for creation.
The Foundation, with its grand structure and deep story, is a fascinating and wonderful world, but SCP Foundation, with its boundless creativity, is truly great.
The desire for expression that comes from the heart of each participant is the source of life that makes it flourish.
And there should be no threshold for the realization of this kind of "self-expression".
Previously, it was only a stopgap measure to allow the system to review submissions, but it is only by allowing the community to choose for themselves that a virtuous circle can be formed.
You can get on it, and if you can't, you can get out.
It's brutal and it's real.
The threshold will be removed, and I hope that these enthusiasts, who are no longer budding, can give him a good explanation.
Guan Li hurriedly flipped through the announcement of the opening of the TW system, and his attention stayed in the comment area below for a while.
"Long live O5! Long live the Administrator!"
"Good times have come! I declare that the SCP Foundation's creative freedom has entered a new phase in history!"
"It means that we can choose the number and send our own files? no longer need to submit submissions and other review, as long as they are not down to negative scores, they can be retained?"
"I booked the number 250, I hope you can sell me a little face. β
"@O5-1, I ask, can I send the article that I submitted before but didn't review it now?"
"Ahhhh
"It's good news overall, but we need to look into how to do some special formats first......"
"Amazing! There is no subject matter restriction and content blocking, and I can really write anything...... In this age of internet censorship, the Foundation is simply the light of human civilization!"
"I feel that there will be a wave of archives next, and the newcomers who can't write will tremble. β
Looking at the front row that was pushed up by the likes, it was completely a fancy rainbow fart exhibition stand, which shows how much they support the abolition of "manual" review.
Think that without review, you can easily post your own article?
Tsk, that's naΓ―ve.
At first glance, I have not been beaten by other people in the community.
There was an "official review" before, and the articles that passed at least had some merit, and those that were too bad would not be released at all.
Even for the sake of the official face, few people will make a bad comment in the comment area and say where the writing is not good.
After that, it was different.
Those readers who are given the right to judge will start from their own reading experience and start to pick from various angles.
Even if it is above the standard, it will inevitably receive negative comments that raise objections.
After all, "it is difficult to reconcile the mouths".
The requirements for authors may be even higher than before.
Looking at their current over-optimism, Guan Li felt that they would soon be able to witness the "fastest down legend".
It's a little exciting to think about.
Guan Li: "Oh yes, remember the screenshot of this too." β
System: "...... I'm afraid this will dampen some people's creative passion. β
"It's fine. Guan Li closed the announcement, returned to the homepage of the foundation, stayed for a while, and decisively clicked into the CN series, "I will get used to more strikes." β
And that's the way the SCP Foundation has to go.
It must be a "living" work, a community where readers and authors interact and circulate, a mysterious place where everyone who reads into it can participate in the understanding and construction of the world.
On this website, "the other is the universe".
You are standing here, on the border between the everyday and the unusual, with strange darkness and miracles in front of you, as if you are slowly seeping in from the other side.
Every author, every universe, every coherent and contradictory light.
Many universes are shining, and change is happening all the time.
This kind of plausible connection between authors and authors, and between authors and readers, may be the charm of the Foundation's ability to hold so many people.
If we look at the online world, everyone can connect.
However, everyone is lonely.
From the very beginning of our time in this world, we have instinctively created ways to obtain "happiness" and share this pleasure with those around us.
No requests, no reasons, because that's who we are.
We find each other, we compare and race with each other, we laugh and cry together, and we play together.
It was an experience that connected us and set us free.
To share this most precious experience, we wrote the story, created the tools, and the game evolved.
Games have been around since the dawn of civilization.
SCP Foundation is a playful literature that, like myths and dreams, awakens the human instinct to create and express.
Co-creation, unified benchmarks, public judging...... All of this......
But it's just a microcosm of civilization.
