Upvote. This is precisely analogous to the following "brick-and-mortar" situation:

You notice that some folks in your town aren't locking the doors of their houses when they leave. So you go to each of those houses (when they're not there), walk in the front door, and tack a note to the first wall you encounter, telling them that they really ought to lock their doors.

The next day you go back and check their locks. For those that are still unlock, you go into their bedroom and mess up their sheets (being careful not to look around too much lest you notice some "marital aids", since you're not that kind of guy), so they can see that someone's really coming into their house.

It's pretty clear that you've violated any number of laws, morals, and societal values in the physical world. Why, in the virtual world, do you think that in doing so you're a white knight?
