At the end of the day I've made my own choice to not participate in that thread as a form of silent protest.

So, now it has been established that you were not "penalized", will you have a thought for your re-writing colleagues that feel a bit orphaned of your re-writing talents? (no, we still won't be able to reproduce the original lyrics...) WinkTongue

To summarise this thread somewhat:

- JD never had more than three stars (I had checked through cached pages going back quite some time).
- MO did lose a star when her Prog Reviewer status (and certain access that came with it) was removed which came down to a cost/risk-benefit analysis.
- I don't see losing stars as punishment, but as a security and trust issue as those stars give greater access.  There are various reasons why those would be removed, not just due to abuse from the user.  I tend to favour restorative justice over retributive justice, by the way.

Since this thread was based on a misremembrance that led to some misconception, and it has been addressed, I think it is time to close this topic.

In the future, to people generally, if you have similar questions please consider PMing an admin, express your concern clearly, and we will try our best to address it. Such topics can easily lead to and foster false assumptions and acrimony.
