Yeah I thankfully realized that pretty early on, though I can see why people might get confused with that. I started on the farms because I was interacting with someone who was a lolcow and made a thread about them, but I know now that some people would take issue with me doing that since I was already interacting with the cow and still do to this day. Turns out they already had an article about them under a different name, but you could tell from the art it was the same person. You kind of live and learn. Nowadays I probably wouldn't have made my original thread on him since it's kind of cringy.The observation rule and not making contact is a weird and nebulous thing though. It really is something you have to lurk and feel out. For someone who doesn't 'get it', JosephTX grabbing those docs would seem like the same thing as messaging those involved directly if you haven't seen this kind of thing on the internet before.
The best way I can describe it is like information gathering with a 2nd or 3rd degree of separation. Or you can be one of those idiots who yells at his TV but don't be the sped who emails the networks or actors that something in the show pissed you off.
