0) Stskeeps is not a Nokia employee (even if he does subcontract.)
1) Nokia didn't set the new forum rules, they were set in discussion with the community here, as far as I recall.
2) Nokia no longer run maemo.org.
3) Stskeeps isn't a moderator here, meaning he couldn't ban people, he was merely adding a disclaimer, not too far off the lines of "it isn't my fault if this makes your device explode and insert pieces of metal into your brain".

I don't see what is wrong with a disclaimer, even if they may not be right on the money. It makes people consider their actions, and think twice. They're still completely free to disregard them, if they want.

Now, end of thread hijack.
