It was never intended for a situation like this.
Maybe, but to be fair was the relevant law really intended to punish typos corrected within 20 minutes that had no impact on any election? I know its gonna all be based off the definition of emergency but in all honesty I see a typo involuntarily trapping someone somewhere they dont want to be and never wanted to be in the first place to be much more of an emergency than forum shopping candidates like in the example you mentioned. I mean, that was Pericles's excuse for opening this can of worms in the first place.
I mean, if not for the fact that there is a small child on Atlas who literally has nothing better to do than harass and annoy people (and screenshot random posts?) Would anyone have noticed? We have to take certain liberties in game since the real world cant be fully simulated but it seems extremely intellectually dishonest to try and pretend BK moved to Alaska by accident in game and is therefore somehow physically present there.
If you intend to move somewhere and later regret it, its 1 thing. Its pretty apparent there was no intent to move. Prepopulated quoted text that existed for less than 20 minutes hardly evidences intent.
