So I am guessing you are intending this to be humorous. Well, I'm not sure if it will stick or has been done before. The joke is kinda bland and the punch line being "You die" is predictable. If that is the only joke then I recommend avoiding the article from over staying its welcome. Be brief. Although, I don't see this being successful.
don't tell me what to do

Daga_Kotowaru, if you're going to provide feedback on someone's idea thread, please give them more of a response they can use to improve their work rather than just a short silly reply.
Quick question: Is this meant to be a joke article that isn't an SCP, if so then I think it'll stick, there isn't many joke articles that aren't SCPs. So if you need reference then check out the articles below.
- The Things Dr Bright Is Not Allowed To Do At The Foundation
- Technical Issue Request Page
- New Technical Issue Request Page
- Log of Anomalous Ducks
- Standard Form For Downvotes
- The Big List of Overdone SCP Cliches
- Cliches and You: An Educational Film
- Author Stereotypes
Good luck.
ETA: Also, the punchline isn't funny so I recommend you change it for specific SCPs.

Dr Dzerwhel, staff has ordered you to refrain from posting feedback in the forums until you have written a successful mainsite post, due to your repeated history of providing problematic critique.
Please adhere to start instruction. Further infractions will result in disciplinary measures.
Do not reply if you are not a staff member. This is a closed staff post.
i already have a few scp's in mind
yes it is meant to be a joke article.
Voxvillian, instead of posting multiple comments in succession, please edit your previous post using the "edit" function under the "options" tab to the lower right of every comment. That prevents spam buildup, and it's in the rules.
"So what?"
This is too easy to guess. It's practically rule number one everywhere. Don't fuck your co-workers. Don't fuck your patients. Don't fuck your prisoners. Why would it be any different for the Foundation, where the researchers could be guaranteed there's something inherently wrong with the objects that pretends to be human? Why would there need to be a seminar for it when it's a 'common sense', no matter how warped it is?
so that way all the people in tumblr who ask in the offical tumblr page if they can have a relationship with a scp can be sent a link to my seminar instead of a long explanation by the admins, it'll make things easier for them
Alternatively, the mins could:
1. Say "No, they're not real."
2. Say "No, fuck off, wtf is wrong with you."
3. Say "Yes" or "No" or "Strawberry parfait" because it ultimately doesn't matter. I imagine even the dimmest of SCP fans wouldn't be stupid enough to be serious about this shit. Nobody actually want to fuck Able or Plague Doctor or 2000. It's all but mere jest.
All of which are easier than writing a page and involves almost as much effort as linking an obscure seminar. Besides, seminars are inherently boring, especially when written. You want to say something about such a topic seminar won't be the way. How much did you remember from your last seminar? 20%? 2%? Such extremely normal topic would be better conveyed through moral of stories, otherwise you'd just be telling people what they already know. And I dunno about others, but I hate being told what I already know.

"No" is not a particularly long response.
If you have to tell people this in a seminar rather than just putting it in the employee conduct guidelines with the manslaughter and theft laws, you probably don't have a lot of faith in your employees.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I write about it happening. But I can't see a seminar-style article working, because the idea that the Foundation is low enough to even need to give a speech about such a common-sense rule isn't very encouraging, and thus, it's probably not going to be seen as realistic. 99% of the employees are better than that.
And as far as the treating it like a joke goes, I get that it's fun and all (just look at my author page) but it needs to be very clearly tongue-in-cheek, and the only way to pull off tongue-in-cheek with a joke that gets really old really fast (sex jokes) is to keep it short and punchy. One-liners, lewd comments from characters, etc. I cannot see an article about why it's unethical to bang your prisoners standing on its own as a joke. The subject matter by default is riddled with controversy and ethical discussion canon fodder, and thus, is worth more than being treated as a joke.
