Yes, but for other reasons than you think.

Erm... I'm not god neither project leader nor anything.
Yes, i'm one of the root on mphq, but that does not give
me the power to decide anything for the project without
the other developers consent. Yes, i could have just
revoked uau's svn access, but then i would betrayed the
peoples trust in me as one of the root.

I think you missunderstood something. This whole thread
is not about punishment. We are not children anymore
who need parents to tell us what is right and what
is wrong and punish us when we do something bad.

No, this whole issue is about what course is beneficial
to the project. If the devels think that the current
course is ok, then so be it. If they think that the
current course is not right, then we need to change
it. But it's (from my point of view) not meant as
punishment.

Who made you the project leader that you can define the rules?
