The same punishment applies to EVERYONE who breaks the rules. No preferential treatment for anyone. We talked for about 2 hours over the phone on this subject.

If there is going to be double standards, find someone else. Double standards only lead to problems. Yes, the user was a VIP but the rules apply to the people who own the site too.

I have not been questioned for enforcing a rule since. My point is, I been using Gentoo for about 10 years, 2003. I'm dalek on the forums. Yea, I was here when -dev was a sewer of a place and I wouldn't subscribe much less post anything. As it is now, -dev is a MUCH better place to be even tho I rarely post anything. If you are going to set up rules and have them enforced, shall I recommend they apply to everyone in the same way, regardless of what they do or how long they have been here? If you are not going to do that, spend your time on fixing bugs and writing code and let this drop before you waste time on it. There won't be any point in going further. No, I don't want to moderate -dev. I don't read most things, just the stuff that as a user I want to see coming around the corner, /usr and init* and such as that.
