The fact that anyone thought applying a sanction so harsh that it would necessarily have to be reversed was an appropriate reaction to anything anyone could possibly do in Discovery speaks volumes about the judgment of the people involved.

That actually wasn't the bad here, as it's demonstrating it's not just talks, but there actually -is- a button to make you disappear from the forums for good.
The bad here is that it was done without consulting others before in the belief it could be reversed, which obviously isn't the case.
So not pressing that button is the issue, but pressing it irresponsibly.

Have to agree. The button itself isn't the issue here, just how it was used.
