The Mysterious P5

I've done some digging regarding The Second Google Incident and the fallout through out the Wiki, and while I have a decent idea of what's going on, the "P5" come up again and again, and I have no idea what is being referred to. Google isn't being helpful, since P5 doesn't really have that much SEO heat, and I'm willing to be the idiot who asks the obvious question for the benefit of everyone else. I figure they are a committee of some sort, but I don't know if they moderate content, are the latest in a group of mini-mods, the local counsel of shady nebulousness, the five keepers of the keys that shut down the wiki, or even if saying their names to a broken mirror by candlelight turns your tongue to dust and makes your significant other infertile. Can someone fill me in?

It is the council chosen to analyses the suspected undesired works. I forgot what 5P stand for and I don't remember the whole list of the members (only Martello and Discar), though.

I think it's the Panel something Against Perverity, Pornography and Pedoshit.

Panel Preventing Perversity, Pornography and Paedoshit. Or something to that effect. We've decided on an acronym. We're less decided on what exactly the long version should be.

Long story short, Martello, Discar, Catalogue, Komodin, and Triple Elation are in charge of making sure the wiki doesn't host any pure pornography or paedophilia related material. This is after we found some rather... objectionable pages that have since been cut. I'm not going to go into details, but it was bad.

Some folks arrived late and are understandably unsure about how this works. The thing is, it's still in-progress—there will be a station, a system, and a set of guidelines that can be perused regarding the new policy. So it's not nebulous or mysterious, but rather, in-progress.

For the meantime we're sorting through the Fanfic Recs and keeping notes. Some things were cut, and the cuttages are kept tidiously in a properish documentationment.

So, we have a group of some people who do something for some part of the wiki, and the first thing we can agree on is that whatever it is, it's gonna be called P5. Are you guys sure we aren't the SCP Foundation?

The name was decided well after the requirements were set and the construction began.

Again, the project's in-progress, not kept in secrecy.

Well, that's a rather silly and baseless comparison. For one thing, [DATA EXPUNGED], and the thing we're trying to do ought to be perfectly clear to anyone who has followed the content policy thread, especially in the light of [REDACTED].

I like P5. Been watching too much Charmed. >.>

Our process will be open (i.e. there may be a thread set up like Edit Banned, where you can see our decisions but not comment on them.) for [DATA EXPUNGED] and The Second Google Incident and related fallout for [REDACTED]?

Well, personally, I prefer Panel for the Prevention of Pro-Paedophilia, Pornography and Perversity. Pro-Paedophilia sounds much less ambiguous than Paedoshit.

P5 is just going to get murky when Persona 5 gets announced..

We ninja'd Atlus!

Especially if you have to be prepared to vomit to activate your persona.

Here's betting that Persona 5 will contain a girl aged 10-13 as one of the player characters.

On-topic, however, perhaps we should call it 5P? I also like this for its similarity to 1P, 2P, 3P, etc. of One Player/First Player, etc. etc., and how there are five people doing the cleaning up.

Triple Elation is back? Triple Elation is back. Triple Elation is back!

I prefer 5P. It makes more sense to me for some reason and just sounds better. And I also want Pedoshit to be part of the acronym. Pro-Pedophilia isn't nearly as punchy. And I sure as hell know exactly what Pedoshit means, even if some people can't figure it out.

I would say Paedophiliafuel here instead of Paedophilia - there is a difference between things made for paedophiles and merely having a paedophile in a story, after all.

Paedoshit isn't very clear on what it means; I prefer Pedo Fuel or something like that.

Right, a pedophile character doesn't count as pedoshit, like in that The Shield episode I've referenced before. But sometimes there are no actual pedophiles at all, but there's some awful, sexual images of prepubescent children like that Incinihesensi no Pedoshit or whatever it was called, which Eddie cut after I put it on the list a week ago or so. That is pedoshit.

Hm, would "Paedopandering" suffice?

Yep, and that is why I suggest Pedo Fuel or some variant; paedophilia or paedophiles aren't a problem, but things that appeal or are written for them are.

That implies that there is intent behind it; might be too narrow.

Pedo Fuel works for me. I'd suggest making a trope page for it, but it would consist entirely of the kind of works TV Tropes is trying to purge itself of right now. :P

I still like my own version - "Posse for Purging Porno/Pedobait Poodoo."

I think we're gonna end up calling it P5 and everyone will use their own version to interprete the acronym. It will be deliciously confusing.

Perfectly Planned Process for Permissible Purging? Might as well run with the Nebulous Evil Organization vibe.
