I'd prefer to discuss this over here to get Brick involved.

You should actually know the fact this message puts me in a very difficult situation. Me, the one who's contantly gone and doing much less work than anyone else on the site needs to punish a person which worked hardly to keep everythin' fine is seriously unfair. Although necessary.

First and most important thing - Delete both sprites you have stolen. I assume now that you have already officially "reported yourself" for purposely taking a credit for someone's else work (Twice, to be exact) it can be discussed in the open. I've seen you did so in both cases but seem to have forgot about your victories' section on your profile.

Next - No, I don't consider rank strip of any kind. While you have messed up in the past, you have shown a lot of maturity, responsibility and skill to keep a Moderator rank (Although I think we should hold your Administrator promotion for some time). You have worked hard since then and worked out your wrongdoings. Also, I don't want to announce it globally, not only because I would feel very sorry for you but 'cause as a Moderator you'd lose all respect that you possess as a part of the Staff shaming the whole Staff in the process. I believe complete rank strip would be inevitable in such case.

But no, I've got a better solution. Instead of blocking you, which would provide you with short break rather than a real punishment we're all going for, you'll need to work it out. You did a great job of mantaining this site up to this date and I can't see a better way to penalise you other than giving you some extra work. This happened a long time ago - I understand this. I was a bit childish when I joined as well. I feel like you have made a mistake and are very sorry for it. Therefore, I, myself, am going to forgive you.

That doesn't mean, however, that the Balduranne shouldn't be informed 'bout the situation herself. I believe a short apology is in order.

Now, I would want to meet together to discuss eventual punishment and establish something that we will all agree with. I request you, Brick, to join. I'll also explain you the situation on chat if you're not fully informed already.
