Is saying SCP-001 an info breach?

["Businessman"]

I was told by an admin that saying "SCP-001" is an infobreach even if you don't say context or what the scp really is.

Its not really hard to guess SCP's from 000/001 to 9999 exist

No. Referring to a specific SCP-001 is. Talking about there being an SCP-001 could still possibly get you arrested though, even if it isnt an infobreach- it just wouldn't be a fair arrest kek. Speak with your local Ethics Member or Site Advisor+ for more information on what topics may be redacted.

You can say any SCP number. If you describe what it is out of your basic Clearance Level knowledge then you are metagaming/info leaking. Refer to the wiki on what Clearance Level matches up with what SCP you want to know about.

Hope that helped

yeah my local ethics member called me a stupid then called an admin on me because i said SCP-001 and the admin on this case

found me guilty but decided not to punish me.

I already knew it wasn't a rule break but had to be sure since its my word against a mods word.

Its not a rule break stating the SCP designation but describing SCP-001 would be

I am assuming what happened is that the ethics thought it was a rule break, and since they reported it, the moderator also assumed that the "big ones" must be right. They even amnesticized me because I said "001." Lmao, I don’t know what they were trying to achieve—make me forget the number 1 by giving me Class-A

I'll put it blunt; whoever did that (especially if it's an Ethics Member) needs to get a grip. It's just the same how saying "SCP-008" in-game isn't an infoleak. It is just a number. Describing what the SCP actually is would be an info-breach. SCPs are natively numbered and site staff would very easily recognise that and think to themselves, "I wonder what SCP-001 is..."

Hola, Hmm weird If you feel like this needs to be escalated I will advise you to make a Staff complaint.

saying scp-### etc isn't an info leak but giving details of what the SCP is can be like stated by the others.​
