Thats a lot worse than recycling 1 bar in 7 years and asking someone to vote on a battle in IMs. albeit twice, including now.

It was incredibly naive but it's all about perspective.

Grizz and Lock premeditated what they did making it 100% shady. So even if its minor. You're shady in my book when caught again, so any benefit of the doubt goes out the window. Ban.

You know as well as myself that he wont do it again, or atleast if he DOES. he will be demodded and banned.

He contributes and wants to continue doing so. He deserves 1 chance now that he is a mod to buck up his ideas. But only 1. In the long run the site will benefit more from him being here as a mod than if he's banned. IF he heeds the warning and sorts his shit out. If we just ban him we'll never know.

I was not aware of Lock's self voting.

Edit:

I do not, however, have any knowledge of whether he will do so again. He has already shown it to be a habitual trait. I feel very strongly that he likely will do so again.

In what way are the circumstances of the situation relevant? "Ignorance of the law, is no excuse for breaking it."
