Guys, we have literally banned people for what doops did since like day 0 of the forum. This isn't the sort of thing that should require us to come in and say, "Hey guys, don't do that because if you do you potentially empower trolls looking to cause problems." Sure, it's a joke and not meant to troll, but this is also one of those very basic things we have asked people not to do since like the very first days of the forums' existence. This isn't new, everyone knows not to do that sort of thing. It's the sort of thing where we have to action for it, regardless of user intent, because otherwise we get users doing it in bad faith and hiding behind the whole "I was just making a joke" defense.

Seriously, just don't do it. It's three days, it isn't some huge ban. Beyond that, unless they keep doing it this isn't the sort of thing that gets held against someone.

All that said, we're lowering it to a warning in the hopes that is enough to get the message across.

Can someone explain this? What did they do that was impersonating staff? I don’t get it

His original OT for Borderlands 4 said “mod edit: whatever” in it, b dubs thinks people will think that this actually came from the mods and… do something?
