I think its important when considering whether a lock or ban was justified or not to take into account the emotions involved. Its easy for a veteren of the site to start to feel justified in breaking certain rules because they may pridefully feel entitled to a higher priviledge level than others. No matter how much you give to this community it doesnt give you the right to break rules. But on the flip side, just because your a mod with powers doesnt mean you are required to fill a quota of some sort. There are times when people do abide by the rules and it is not necessary to flex your muscle just to remind yourself that you can.
