I'm proud to say that (knock on wood) I've never been punished in any way during my time here. No pcr's, no account restrictions, nothing. That's what happens when you're a boring conformist... 
There was one time, however, when I was falsely accused of creating a double log-in... At the time that was considered a really bad thing to do... 
My girlfriend back then and I used to call each other "Piglet" and stuff like that... Once she was at my office and browsed the off-topic forum... She stumbled upon a thread talking about pigs... That made her create a log-in (Piggly-Wiggly, Piglet or something like that) and she jumped into the discussion... She had long wanted to join Apolyton, but was a little bit shy to get started... A discussion about pigs was the ice-breaker she had been looking for...
People found it suspicious that a poster with that name (and created the same day as the thread was started) had her first post in a thread with that subject and reported her...
Someone checked her IP and found it was identical to mine... Ming hang me out in a special thread announcing the creation of a double log-in by me (standard policy back then, I think)...
Sten Sture and another Apolytoner called Bird stood by me, refusing to believe I had done such a horrible thing (thanks guys!)... We were MP buddies (I played my first MP ever with Sten, and soon after we played with Bird as well)...
The reason we had identical IP's was that my department gave all computers the same IP, I think.
I completely freaked out when I couldn't post at home and found the thread accusing me of the DL... E-mailed a long explanation to Ming to, ehrm, clear my name... Embarrassing to admit it, but it was really important to me...
They checked my story, reopened my account and made a public apology in the off-topic forum... Ming said people at the off-topic would think better of me after the incident...
04.00 AM over here in Sweden... Good night (and may my account still be open later today  )!

Now this is a comment I find very interesting. The people that have been interviewed so far include prominent CtPers and SMACers, well-known Civ2 players, Yin, the biggest critic of Civ3, Ming and even DanQ, one of the owners. I do honestly think that this selection of people is interesting for most, and it also works well with the site topic - that is, Civ was being discussed, too. Not just random chit-chat. Also IMO, interviewes with, say, well known OTers with barely mentioning Civ at all, would only be interesting to a limited number of OTers. Or I may be wrong .

yes you have a good list of people, as to the interviews you have already conducted, yes I do know of several you have interviewed, and thus through your interviews have had the opportunity to get to know the others 
and not trying to answer for Raz, but from my point of view, there certainly is an abundance of talent floating around these forums you could get some great interviews with these people. I believe you would open up a few interesting and strong topic points:

all of these people are personalities that not only touch the hearts and souls of people who use these threads in many forums, but also each make their mark, adding to that which is the community known as Apolyton.
