'''MemeSCP''' is an online gaming community that primarily hosts public ''SCP: Secret Laboratory'' (or SCP:SL) servers. Northwood Studios granted MemeSCP the ability to host official servers<ref name=":1" group="Footnote">{{SCPSL official}}</ref> in the E.U West region.<ref>{{Cite Discord|name=Shiro|date=4 March 2023|server=MemeSCP|img=MemeSCP3.png|access-date=2023-10-05|channel=announcements}}</ref> {{Infobox community |draft=n |active=yes |image=Memescp.png |image_size=200px |caption= |owner=Rin (2018)<br />Shiro (2018-Present) |estab=2018 |members=3,372 |ret_date=October 3, 2023 |discord=[https://discord.com/invite/memescp Discord] |patreon=[https://www.patreon.com/memescpcommunity Patreon]}} == Structure == === Staff hiring === MemeSCP solicits staff members in irregular intervals through announcements in their Discord server. Prospective staff members fill out an application via a Google Form within the allotted time, and then members of management review them. Once the review is complete, an announcement is sent announcing the applicants who were accepted. Applicants are permitted to, and encouraged, to apply more than once in the event a prior application was unsuccessful. Solicitations used to include the minimum requirements for applicants to be considered, though more recent solicitations have simply advised readers to find them in the application itself. The community has publicly solicited for staff members 9 times. Bolded items indicate a change in requirements from the previous solicitation. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Date !Type !Timeframe (days) !Requirements !Citation |- |October 19, 2020 |SCP:SL | 6 | *Age 15+ *40-50 hours on SCP:SL * Mee6<ref group="Footnote">A popular Discord bot that gives members levels based on participation; usually measured via voice and message activity.
