Bigger boards have clear policies for things like timeouts, strikes or bans. They have more active members (also more mods) so it is easier to find people that aren´t a part of the conflict to make decisions like this.

I think your overall point is right on the money. 

As for the quoted portion, I can promise you that many torturous conversations were had behind the scenes about JS, who I agree was a great, great contributor, right up until the point when he wasn't. We basically do have policies for things like that now, forged throughout that JS process. We haven't been more forthcoming with them publicly because (and I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth here, but I think we all agree) we feel like modding sort of leads to more modding. We're trying to hold onto the community led Utopia vibe as long as possible. 

And, just like he said, Kamm didn't ban him and didn't vote. He did participate in the many conversations, and it's probably true that the situation was taken seriously sooner because it involved someone on the admin side. But, I think if we're honest with ourselves we'll all admit that Kamm probably does the most out of anyone to make this place fun and informative. I'm ok with the idea that people should treat him accordingly.
