I find it funny that it took a few days for this to come out. That’s the very first thing I try if I see a big black box censoring something in a PDF or webpage is highlight to see if there’s text under there (practice from reading SCP Wiki and various forums with fun formatting options). Heck I randomly highlight as I read enough I’d probably even find that it was incorrectly redacted without even trying
The first set (with nothing but blacked out pages) was properly redacted and in-fact contained no text data whatsoever. I think this is from the more recent files including the ones that were accidentally uploaded and pulled an hour later.
Yeah, but not marked as spoilers - but it was integrated into the story. sadly i can’t remember which SCP it was, i am pretty sure it was in Series 4 (so somewhere between 3000 and 4000). I am reading SCPs on and off again, and am currently around scp 4800, so it’s been a few months that i saw it.
E: I just remembered one SCP which emulated an terminal, where you were able to remove the redactions by editing the proposed file name to open from a level 4 file to a level 5, that one was pretty cool!
This has happened before. Back when I used to browse the armpit of the internet there were classified military docs that had the same technique used.
I called it. Last week I said this :
reddit is the armpit. 4chan is the unwashed taint.
So that makes Lemmy what? The smeggy bellend?
Only when you show up
Huh, guess we don’t do self deprecation
I don’t think you’re all of Lemmy.
Actually that guy is all of Lemmy, the rest of us are a hive mind. Blorp blurrp

I mean…the left nut, no?
I’ll see myself out.
Actually in Europe it would be considered the center nut.

You can do that for SCPs!? I have been reading that forever and now I feel dumb
Some SCPs also have text with the same color as the background, if there is an oddly large space between text.
Only some - default is just black boxes. I remember at least one where the redactions were removed on click per word.
You mean: a spoiler tag?

I honestly could be misremembering. I swear I remember seeing somewhere that fake redacted stuff for flavoring/humor
