When we don't punish minor rule breaking, we send the wrong message. We promote the idea that, "Well you know, some of the rules don't matter, I can just break them."
Also, the rule in question is not minor. It is one of the oldest rule on the server, and has had an absolutely clear punishment in the past. You tried to gain an unfair advantage over other players, compromising the integrity of the server. Even if you did not profit from it, it is clear that you intended to do so.
You are right. Ultimately the decision isn't mine. The decision is EducatedPizza's, Jeffadore's, Clownfish's, and mine to make. More importantly, it is not yours.
