You have to remember that intent matters here guys.
Some people like yourself, sn!p3r, break rules by accident. Others do it intentionally. The admins have to assume it was intentional in order to maintain fairness... and intentionally breaking the rules is a very bad thing, right?
We all make mistakes at some point (I thought the same about Connecticut, actually). We've even had Tony sanction himself for making a mistake before, losing all the guns on his destroyer, I believe.
