I don't think their actions even deserve a punishment, though it was wrong and uncalled for. But here's the thing, Deadly, YSK, and TDCF are not the only users who have teased or threatened someone else. Nothing was done about all the other times, but the events of that last proposal were a great demonstration of what this problem can lead up to.

What I'd suggest is not punishment, but a new, effective way of communicating these issues. Besides, just because a user is punished for something does not mean another user isn't likely to do the same thing sometime later. Plus, a majority of us here joke around a lot, so that suggest you might as well punish them.

What we should consider doing is handling any and all issues formally. The way they've been settled before have caused people to quit, so clearly, something needs to change within our ability to resolve conflict. Chasing people away won't do this wiki any good. It won't matter how honorable our reputation is if we've left users disappointed.
