Please provide rationale showing that the associated risks outweigh the immense fun of "meatspinning" coworkers. "Don't do this" is probably not very convincin

Don't be the person that gets someone fired, arrested, jailed, and in lifetime legal trouble because some asshole thought it would be hilarious to display porn on their computer at work. (Yes, I'm equating "meatspinning" to malware. Argue if you like about that, but the main point stands: If you meatspin someone, you're taking a chance of ruining their entire life. Don't be That Guy.)

Not to defend "meatspinning" (first time I've heard the term), but don't you think the real problem here is that people can be fired/jailed/etc without due process is the problem here? This was just some drive by malware, imagine what you could do to someone's life if you intentionally targeted someone?

      Also worth adding that it was kiddie pr0n that got the guy fired in parent's story. Quite a lot of people tend to overreact to this for either CYA or moral high horse reasons. If he was fired for meatspin or lemonparty, he would publicly accuse them of homophobia on twitter and things would be different ;)
