Regardless, it's considered a fairly serious offense. If you'd known beforehand, I'd have to bar you from the programming department.

I think I'm going to have to issue a punishment to emphasize how serious this is.

First, I'll have to put you on temporary probation before I can accept you for a programming position. You've already proven to us that you can hack, we just need to see some proof that you can use your skills responsibly.

Second, I'm placing a temporary readability filter on posts from you. I'll need to be able to read your messages if we're going to be working together.
