Business is business

If you ran a forum, would you enforce the rules strictly upon whoever violated them? Even if this rule breaker was a really good friend of yours?

Yep. Including this one (back in the day, before Jordan acquired it).

Honestly it depends on the violation. If it is a minor infraction (e.g. necroposting, double posting etc.) , I would most likely look the other way a couple of more times than I might for another user. However, if the same thing was repeated ad nauseam or the violation was more serious (e.g. abuse of position) then I would not hesitate to completely remove their ability to continue to engage with the community like I would with any other miscreant.

Listen to your heart and mind. Rule is rule.
