You might be able to persuade me otherwise, but I don't see a direct analogy between mods and TB members. Mods should be exemplary members in order to have maximum moral authority to enforce the rules. Last I heard, TB members are not enforcing anything and do not need moral authority.

On the other hand, this proposal is not particularly extreme. A 30-day suspension is only one step away from permanent suspension, which would automatically remove someone from TB. A 30-day suspension issued by Randy is arguably even closer to a permanent suspension than a typical 30-day suspension.

These are the strongest arguments on each side, as nearly as I can tell.
