The fact of the matter is it's NOT a punishment - it's just something the staff didn't take into account that they NOW say is punishment because Leeza thinks it should be that way. The rules in the EoEO forum say don't be a jerk or you can lose posting privileges in that forum, not don't be a jerk or you can lose PM space, lose usernote privileges, lose the ability to change your custom title (not lose custom title, just the ability to change it from whatever it already is), etc.
