I was using a good cop, bad cop approach there. On one hand, they could have gotten a very severe punishment. But if they made sure not to do it again, and made sure they understood all the rules, they wouldn't have to. That's more effective than just banning them or just letting it slide in normal circumstances, and I think it worked well this time.
