I mean, on one hand, it's great that I've unintentionally been able to bring so many people together in agreement on something, and I guess lots of pageviews or something, but at the same time I wonder if I'll ever be taken seriously ever again.
The majority of people who use the internet don't want to use a site like this to take other people seriously or any site period. If people want a degree of legitimacy of anything it would be for a skill walkthrough build, damage calculator, or equipment/damage stats because it pertains to some other activity that they invest actual time in. However, it still doesn't warrant that you can post anything even in shenanigans. Especially something like that. I don't know how to explain it. You have to distinguish between something you'd like and then question whether it's something that other people are also going to like before posting. A degree of self-moderation before the moderation team goes after you.
It's actually incredibly easy for you to be turn over a new leaf. You could just simply create a new account and try to post more conservatively and with more of a conscious attitude that's catered towards everyone else. See how that goes. Then go back on your parasite account and see which one you prefer after all your online socializing needs are met. I don't really understand what you want here however the tone in your post indicates that you are missing a certain something that you actually want. And I actually think that's connected to something intrinsic to your personality or character rather than something that can be addressed with additional moderation and further consideration.
