Don't worry, dude. Speaking as someone who appreciates good humor, you weren't that funny either. Inside jokes, per definition, have to have such a narrow range of applicability and a lack of mass-appeal that they can't be found funny to an average, uninformed person.

And if you don't like the way the community is heading, there's nothing stopping you from, oh, I don't know, not looking at EverCrest ever again.

This is neither an inside joke, nor was there any sort of harm intended. In fact, except for Bloodsage's crying, no one seems to be "pissed off".

As for the PM stint, I apologize if it went over the line, but I think most/all of its recipients realized it was not at all serious.

I was amused by it. Me. The guy being copycatted. Granted, part of it was my ego being stroked, but aside from that it was kind of amusing to see what they got up to. I just hadn't realized how many of those PM's about the buttsex went out. Granted, by this point everyone knew it was someone duplicating me, but it was still a little weird.

Initially I was a little annoyed. Had a whole sixty seconds of irritation, where I was going to alert the mods, change my sigpic and sigline to differentiate, yadda yadda yadda. But then I started snickering. I work in a lab, and a couple of guys and I take turns trying to startle one another. Sneaking up on the other guy when they're unsuspecting and making a loud noise. You never do it when they're handling dangerous chemicals or anything, but hurting the other guy isn't the point. Breaking up the monotony of the day is the point. I've been "got" by the guys as much as I've "got" them. Everyone has a good laugh, including the person who was startled. It's no fun unless everyone gets a good chuckle.

Generally speaking, there's a reason for the duplicate account rule. Unchecked, it can cause problems. But Parce let on early that when it wasn't funny anymore, he'd axe the dupes. That in turn preserved the humor in the dupes' antics for a bit longer; you always have more fun when you know there's an out. And when the joke was over, I asked for the curtain to be dropped and it was.

All in all, negatives aside, it was more funny than negative. But it's the sort of joke that could get overplayed. And the PM's were a bit much. A few strategically placed? Maybe. But everyone? Nah. It's cool though. A small price to pay to shake things up a bit. Break the monotony.

And that's exactly how bad things happen: people ignore the rules thinking it doesn't really matter, and then one day it does matter and something bad happens because of the stupid culture of thinking the only way to break up the monotony is to break the rules. So, one day in your lab someone is going to do what they always do and someone is going to get hurt, whether because of the inevitable escalation that goes on or through pure sloppiness when someone is unaware the other person is doing something dangerous.

There's obviously no real danger here, but it's the same kind of moronic thinking. People too fucking stupid to think of anything else to do for entertainment don't deserve the time of day. Vandalism isn't funny, and that's all this was.

I think you're blowing this a little out of proportion. I agree with the idea that if a law is violated, then there should be punishment. I doubt anyone thought the duplicates would be around forever. The first day out one of them said something to the effect that they knew they wouldn't even have to delete the account. And by and large they didn't do any real harm.

Was it a violation of the rules? Yes. Technically it was. And by the standard that all rulebreakers should be punished, they should have been. No one is arguing that the rules weren't broken and that the accounts shouldn't have been deleted.

On the other hand, was there any especially heinous or egregious damage done? I'm sure if Azakias or Monica or Lyinar had hit the mod alert button or whatever, and really complained, the accounts would've been banned before I had a chance to say anything. Lyinar was annoyed by it, and Monica and Azakias were (to paraphrase) kind of a "wtf!?" mindset. I wouldn't say it was particularly vile. A misdemeanor for libel isn't the same as a felony assault. And that's the closest comparison I can think of here. The dupes were at worst a nuisance. Someone made a good point to me about the whole matter regarding how far things could go before serious harm was done. So long as it was in a gentle "roast" sort of thing (like celebrity roasts, where everyone has a shot at the roastee, everyone has a good chuckle, and no harm is done) it's not that big a deal. When it ventures out of the realm of good-natured fun, then you have to call it off. It ventured out of the realm, and it came to the end everyone knew it would.

But I certainly don't feel the need to hunt down the individuals behind the dupes and tell them off. I don't think they should be banned or blacklisted or whatever either. What would be the point? Visceral satisfaction? The punishment should fit the act it was meant to dissuade. No serious damage was done this time.

This was NOT an ad hominem attack. This was NOT a cruel or mean-spirited attempt to hurt someone's feelings. It was silly.

Did you read the rule in question? It's one of the more harshly worded ones; it's not about being okay unless it's especially egregious.

As for the first part, it applies to your silliness in the lab. Take it from somebody who works a dangerous job, and who knows too many people who've died due to exactly the same kind of stupidity you describe: the idea that you can relax safety just enough to have fun but not so far that things become dangerous is stupid, and will eventually catch up to you or someone you know. Your call.

At the end of the day, I've got zero tolerance and even less sympathy for anyone so stupid the best way they can think of to ease boredom is to fuck with other people in clear violation of the rules. Delid's Kikkake account, or whatever it was called, was much funnier, and it was slapped down as soon as it was discovered as a gimmick; why should this particular stupidity be exempt?

That’s probably true, I don't know him that well all I ever heard was this nice job he currently has. Maybe in the past he was stationed in some less exotic location like the Philippines or turkey. I Don’t normally associate Air Force officers who are non pilots with danger I’m sure if BS there wanted to educate me on all the Mission critical and dangerous things he has done during his long military career I’d be impressed. Somehow I got in my head he was a logistics person which is very important but the only danger he might face with it was a paper cut.
