Sure, people have their own responsibility and that should not be forgotten. But I feel once a person has been proven to be fake (or is obviously fake) this site and the moderators to have responsibilities as well.

Yes. I would allow you to continue posting here.
As a person, and a user your actions would bother me. However, as a mod, I would not remove your post or prevent you from posting. Pretending to be something you are not is not against the rules. I would allow comments to stay on the ad that were (respectfully) outting the person as a fake as a warning to others.
I would guess that at a least a quarter to half of the people on this site are only here to live in a fantasyland. They have no intention of actually following through with dares or instructions. That isnt my intent on this site, but it is not responsibility to take that away from somebody else.
Its the internet. You can be anybody you want to be.
