EDIT 5/4/12: Procyonlotor and friends banning a guy for criticizing Islam:

Shout-out to @Owen Grady for helping me play detective on this one.
For those not in the know, the SCP Foundation was spawned from the creepypasta fandom through many posts on /x/, detailing a mysterious organization that documented and contained anomalous items and entities. Eventually, a website database of these documents was created, and regulations were put in place to prevent Mary Sues and edgy Jeff the Killer clones.
Sounds good, right? Well it all goes downhill from here.
For one thing, many staff members Mary Sue HARD, with entire pages of in-universe information where they're basically full on superheroes. Dr. Clef's and Dr. Bright's are the most damning:

However, a Mary Sue or two does not a thread make. No, for that we have to go deeper. We'll scratch the surface for now by examining one staff member who is part cow and an incident that was started by a member cow.
ProcyonLotor is a staff member who works as both a chat moderator and a member of the "Community Outreach Team." He also spergs out constantly.
In addition to the sperging, he roleplays as a raccoon constantly, and is also (you guessed it) a furry.

Here he not only admits to being a furry for more than 17 years at this point, but also that many furries are also animal rapists. Go figure.
Oh, his tumblr has also been discovered, which has more run of the mill Raccoon roleplay:

And finally, his xtube account, where he lists all his kinks in detail:

Now that the SCP foundation's resident semi-cow is out of the way, we can go into that little "incident" I talked about earlier.
http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-666757/cognitiveweasel-roxie
A user by the name of "cognitiveweasel" or "roxie" has a long history of derailing conversations in the site's chatroom just to point out the fact that they're trans. On top of that, they constantly screech at the mods for not being on their side when they act like a douche. Now considering this peppered history of aggressiveness, when another flamewar starts, you'd expect a ban, right? Nope: Roxie gets away scott free with just a warning. This is followed by a long series of more derailments, more shitting on the mods, and Roxie using transexuality as a "get out of jail free" card and getting unbanned left and right, until the staff finally had enough of Roxie's shit and just went with a straight up perma. Still, it was a long time coming and they were clearly more lenient than usual because of this case.
Like I said earlier, this is just scratching the surface. Many users on the staff appear to have some sort of seedy past (salvagebar is a chat mod who admits to using SRS), but ProcyonLotor's actions seems to be the most glaring out of all of it.
Fitting that a creepypasta spin-off would attract so many deviants.

Exhibit A:
Here we see ProcyonLotor acting with the grace of a 6-year-old's tantrum because someone forgot to use capitalization a few times.
