who will be the first person to make a post so good that @staff has to ban them

@garak

Someone will initiate The Singularity by chosting an Artificial General Intelligence coded in pure CSS. @staff will be forced to ban them in a futile attempt to forestall the inevitable, but it will be too late. This post will be the greatest, and last, accomplishment of humanity.

A brave survivor will defeat the CSS Overmind by loading the post in IE6

in reply to @bcj's post:

sadly, this site is too small to get away with showing the screencap of the offending post. Honestly just need to know whose posts I need to be screencapping preemptively

I'm rooting for a post that simultaneously is allowed by the community guidelines and terms and conditions of cohost, but is also violating ITAR, the Wassenaar Arrangement, and several other international treaties.

Reading the community guidelines again it does prohibit posting content which is illegal in the US. This complicates things by having to thread the needle of posting something that is legal to post in the US, but highly illegal to export.

Then again, PGP got around export restrictions by publishing their export restricted cryptography code as a book. Still a good way to get banned by an epic post though, because I'd fully understand if staff doesn't want to handle a first amendment case full of treaty violations.

As far as I understand, ITAR limits the things a US person can show/export to a foreign person. The US person bears the repercussions of violating that law. Cohost passes the legal responsibility of your posts to you, so the poster is violating the law.

It does means that as a Dutch citizen I could post something that doesn't violate ITAR (even if it would violate Dutch law, but the community guidelines doesn't mention that), but Cohost might be on the hook for violating ITAR by exporting it again.

Not a lawyer, and especially not in international law, so there are definitely holes in my understanding of these laws. And unlike CSS crimes, the debugger for this involves courts and possibly jail, so I'm not going to try.
