Could some of that apparent leniency have to do with a poster's history of PBC's and blocks? This history is not detailed in any new action, so other posters may be unaware of it. But it's a factor in determining what action to take if one is warranted. Someone with multiple PBCs and blocks has certainly been warned about the rules many times. It's not an unreasonable assumption to make that they know that the behavior cited is likely to result in future action if continued. Shouldn't that factor into any decision, then, if they do choose to continue behavior that has previously resulted in a block?
Namaste

PS: I'd love to see more diversity among the deputies. I'm sure there is a self-selection bias at play, because males and minority posters don't seem to volunteer as frequently as white women.
