So when are you getting banned?

[Tiberius]

But it wasn't just for the 'one day of the year' was it? It was for a full month and many of us wasted our time on what we thought were real people. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but even just because this was a 'prank' I don't think that's very cool.

I don't know maybe I'm being a killjoy, I just think this was completely overboard.

It was for less than 3 weeks, as I pointed out to you last night. Also as I pointed out to you last night, we almost stopped it when the troll accounts started getting valid reports on their behaviour. We continued only on the agreement that if we got any other complaints, we would terminate the entire prank. Perhaps you shouldn't see it as a waste of time, but rather as a wake up call? Not everyone you speak to on the internet is "real".

Well obviously the community doesn't want you to resign and nor do I so stop making out like that.

I don't know if the community want me to resign or not, nor does it matter than you personally do not. I made my offer to accept full responsibility and step down; it is up to the rest of the community to judge whether that should happen. Enough people seemed to be annoyed at me that I thought I should at least put it on the table.

Next year I'll make 6 different accounts and fool everyone and troll the forum and use 'it was a joke' as an excuse.

Reckon I'll still be here?

In all likelihood, you would be. Rules are supposed to be there to stop malicious activity. If it's for an April Fools prank, it clearly isn't malicious.
