- Fabled Mythic Member
Since you've already had your answer, there isn't much reason for me to reply but oh what the hell...
If someone is a new member and they break the rules, it might be considered more so of a good idea to be a little more strict with them, than say someone who is is Mythic member. Why? Well like Pezz said, basically if you're a more senior member, and you make one slip, oh well, here's a warning, but you ultimately know to not repeat chronically... Whereas, if someone is new, and they're educated early on, bans and warnings are more effective issued to them, to someone of more seniority and experience around here.
But then you have the whole issue of the double standard type thing... Which to be frank, I think is necessary in some cases, or well not necessary but acceptable I suppose... Depending on what rule is broken or how severe, it may be pointless to warn or ban a long standing member, while at the same time it may be necessary to do it to a new member because they simply do not know, or have a history already.
If I was a Mod, I will admit, I would be slightly more lenient with more senior members, but after one warning I would not hesitate to ban them, because they would then simply be abusing the sort of trust you have given them in expecting them not to make a habit of whatever rules it is they are breaking...
