Well, that's a view, but I think you're wrong. You can't legislate for people deliberately choosing to act badly, and you shouldn't have to. He can't possibly have been under any illusion that what he was doing was anything other than an abuse of the process, and that really is enough.

That seems to be exactly what has happened. No-one's thrown SIO2 out of the community, he didn't like being called on behaviour that I think we all agree was not right, and went off in a strop. Maybe he'll be back to do things properly next time, but that's up to him.

How about we correct the issues in our QA process, remove his sticky thread from the games thread as punishment, and simply get him to go through the voting process again.

He (hopefully) learns his lesson and we modify the process to try and stop this from occuring again.

Sounds fair no?

That seems to be the current state of play. So far at least, there hasn't been anything approaching a decision not to let him back in if he comes back and acts appropriately.

This seems to have run exactly as it should:
- Developer does bad thing,
- Bad thing gets caught,
- Bad thing gets reverted, and developer is asked to account for themselves.

Exactly which part of this process shouldn't have happened?
