So I had a good friend get stood up by a girl who professed to like Discworld and Star Trek the other day, and it got me to thinking: Geeks shouldn't act like that. We're supposed to have learned from the way we were treated to be better people. Which brings me to my idea: Geek Court. You're brought in front of a jury of your peers, preferably at a con. If you lose, all of your geek s*** is confiscated and you're assigned a professional sports team to follow in perpetuity.
EDIT: People, don't take this thread seriously. Seriously. I understand geeks like sports. Sheesh.

I concur with this. I doubt her geekdom as anyone who likes both Discworld and Star Trek wouldn't do that to someone. Geeks are cool people, so I doubt that this girl was ever a geek. Did he administer a proper geek test to her? I actually had started making one that not only would be able to tell if you had any geekly prowess, but also would inform you if you were instead a nerd or a dork.

I fully support this Geek Court idea, and suggest that the penalty for all capital offenses should be being forced to follow the Detroit Lions sports team, and betting a set percentage of their yearly income on their chances as a team.

Geek Court would tear itself apart.

Wow, that went from "obvious gag" to "taken way to seriously" in record time.

No kidding.
Another possible punishment, suggested by someone else, is having to watch the trailers to awesome movies but never the movies themselves.
